Beatles Autographed Page - Maxwells

Came across this set of autographs currently up for sale at Maxwells in London.  John’s signature looks like Neil has signed his name? Any other thoughts?

All Neil.

I agree that it’s a full Neil set. It’s actually being offered by Maxwells Auctions.

I thought this was a Neil set too.

Neil Aspinall strikes again!

I saw this in a print advertisement before the sale went live and emailed them to let them know. They sent me an email back saying they were 'selling with the provenance given'. Shame.

I sent them an email as well. I haven’t heard back from them yet.  When and if they reply I think I’ll let them know that the quality of an auction house is often decided by how they respond to wrongly attributed items.  Sellers will always have a story and most can’t be taken for face value.

I haven't messaged this auction house. But I have done with other places. It seems the 'we have to believe the back story' provenance is being used quite a lot for places not doing their diligence.

I tried to watch the auction today and it appears the item was withdrawn.

It was withdrawn from the original sale and put back into an auction today. Description was a bit misleading, saying it’s attributed to Neil, but then the story of the vendor getting the autographs.

I was surprised to see bids up to £620 before the lot was up. Insane! The auctioneer made some speech before hand about how it was ‘still from the period’. It ultimately sold for that £620, so £806 including fees.

That’s a lot, but not CRAZY high.

Thanks for the update. I wasn't aware it had gone back up for sale.
