Beatles Autograph on Ebay

Hello All, I have been very curious about this Beatles Signed Photo with Caiazzo LOA being offered on Ebay. I know that it is "unusual" in that it must have been torn and restored in the past. Also, Ringo's signature is very faded and George didn't sign normally (obviously adding a little humor in his signature), however, a price of $18,000 seems low and odd to me. Even with the defects, I would assume it would be worth more given that A) They actually touched and signed this photo, and B) A Caiazzo LOA confirms this, and C) an oversized photo such as this (11-1/2" x 14-1/2") are very rarely seen! I'm not interested for myself but thought that others might have an opinion regarding the price and condition. I look forward to your input! Thanks

I would say that this is genuine. A unique item. John has probably added added the extra a's to Georges signature.

Thanks. Not sure where I read it but I thought it said that George was having fun playing off the name Louisea...so he added the "sea" to the Love from and his name. I'd guess that he was having fun!

I've seen this item before...Cool piece...Signed on the most iconic photo ever taken by Beatles photographer, Dezo Hoffman in late April 1963.

I agree. Awesome item...that's why I can't understand the pricing. Would love to get opinions on why it's so low (imo). Again, it's not without flaws but that seems like a low price to me...
