Here’s the most expensive item in the eBay store and an exemplar that’s included for comparison.

The letter is from 1963 and the sheet music is from 1968. Compare the Ringo signatures and look closely at the formation of the “R” on the sheet music.

Ouch.

It appears to be a direct attempt to copy it

Agreed. It looks like the forger misinterpreted the formation of the “R”, and the top portion is mistakenly drawn counterclockwise.

Makes me sad that someone would fight so hard to convince everyone they are a crook!

Here's something I've always wondered about. I LOVE when we all chime in, and expose the BS folks and their lame stories. BUT please people, there's one thing you need to stop doing. Stop telling them WHY we could tell a signature is fake. Don't say the loop is wrong, or goes this way, or you can see where the pen stopped and started, or whatever else. Don't educate the forgers, on how to ply their trade more convincingly. Just say "I won't go into the weeds on to why I feel it's fake, but I have many reasons." And leave it at that. When enough of us chime in as to thinking it's bogus, that's enough to scare the buyer off, or let him get a "quick opinion" from someone like Roger Epperson, or whatever avenue they want to take. I even feel bad going against my own rule when I say "All done in the same hand" because I don't want a forger to then have a friend do one of the squiggle signatures, or they purposely try to sign different, so it doesn't look similar to the other signatures they forged.

I totally understand that Josh, and do it very sparingly. I don’t think it’s giving much away to basically say that Ringo forms his “R”s in a way that probably pretty much everyone else does. It also shows a specific example of what is going on across multiple signatures. It’s hard not to point out a silly mistake that probably wouldn’t have been repeated when someone who’s selling forgeries comes in with that kind of an attitude.
