That one is small potatoes compared to what is happening on the Live Auctioneer’s platform. There is a constant rotation of forged Beatles items that simply staggers the mind. I’m surprised that law enforcement has not attempted to shut these fake sales down or simply track back who the consignors are to get to the forgers.

hi, what live auctioneers platform?

hi fab, I just looked wow, total scam, the beatles didn,t sign many albums, and the auction houses know this, but keep selling and infinate amount of them, crazy

Yes and in some cases they have ruined some nice vintage items. One auction house told me these are for people who can’t afford the real thing and have a value of $1000 and will likely be worth more in the future.
They are starting to get a bit more clever but describing the item as Beatles Lp with signatures or attributed to J,P,G & R. Essentially the worst kind of auction houses IMO.

Thats nuts, basically encouraging forgery by giving it a value

or attributed to J,P,G & R.
Now that, is truly scandalous.
They are therefore openly stating that they don't know if something they are selling is authentic or not, and trying to shift the burden of responsibility onto the bidder - so that they can squirm out of any post-sale claims for refunds etc.
An autograph is not an unsigned artwork....it beggars belief.

I have seen - and flagged - some howlers on etsy before (full sets of Abbey Roads, Let it Be) but never received a response. So I don't bother anymore.
