Autographed Beatles Handbook..is it for real?

I've just joined so hello to all. I wonder if you could please give your opinion on the mag I've just purchased.

I had been told that the mag had been thrown onto the stage during one of the 1965 UK Christmas shows and was returned as can now be seen.

It has all four Beatles on the front and Ringo signed his photo to the rear, John made a remark and sketch plus signed over his photo, George also signed inside the mag and looked to have attempted sign (Harrison) after his name at the top of the front cover.

In your opinion is it for real or fake?

I agree, none of them look even close, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, these are very bad fakes in my opinion.

It could be signed by Mal or other secretarial

I can't see it myself ...Mal's look completely different.

This was not signed by The Beatles in '65....or any year for that matter...

I still think this is the real deal. Forget the autograph for a moment.

When you study John's writing the "e" and the "s" in "It's me" is constantly so similar the shape and even the angle.

Ron, if you think it’s good...then that’s all that matters.

There is no amount of wishing and hoping that will make these signatures genuine. They are 100% fake. Sorry for the disappointing news but sometimes the truth hurts.
