Nathan,

The John, Paul and George-signed Abbey Road album pictured in the image you posted of what you just bought for $250 sold last year for $8900 at RR Auction. 

Please post or send me a link to the listing. Is it on Mercari? I've rarely seen a real autograph of value on that site.

It went to a sold area, let me take as many screen grabs from my buyers area as I can.

My photos seem to be getting cut off, I am not to good at this.

They're not getting cut off. You have to click to see it all, sorry. It's a site quirk.

Hold it...maybe the seller's telling the truth! His dad could have bought it from Iconic for $12,500 and he didn't know that!

I know you wouldn't want to screw someone over like that, Nathan, so tell him that and send him the link that Ballroom posted. If he's a good guy he'll pay you a grand or two when it sells.

Always liking to investigate, thinking what you posted above could be a possibility, that his father did indeed die and he isn't aware of the value of this treasure, I looked at the other items he selling and they are so far removed from an Threatles signed Abbey Road Flat as you can get.

The listing itself is so out of character compared to other items he has listed, he has a 5 star rating..... this latest reporting wont be helping that!

The Abbey Road Lp in question was obtained over many years by in person collector John Brennan (who sold it though RR Auction --  so the guy you bought it from totally made up the story.  I suspect he just stole the photos and is not going to send you anything for the $250 you paid him.

I have that feeling also Bruce, but the seller doesn't receive his money until I release it from a 48 hour escrow that starts when the tracking number says delivered.

Having said that, I dont have a clue what is going to happen next. I looked at the other items this seller has/had for sale and they are not related to the Beatles or autographs at all, clothing and vintage tennis shoes.

Bruce is right. If you have a link to the listing or the seller's name I should be able to look it up and download images.
