Hi, I just acquired this and am curious as to if these are authentic. Thank you for your help. I was not able to get any history on this. The Lennon autograph is kind of dark below his face.

Thanks again. I look forward to your comments.

Hopefully you didn’t pay too much for this and I hope you can get your money back. The signatures don’t look authentic to me. Where did you purchase it?

Thanks! I purchased it at an estate sale. Bundled it with some other things, so didn't have to pay too much. Worth the chance that it might be authentic. It's a cool Beatles picture album, so it's still cool. The signatures have similarities to others I found online and were obviously signed at different times with different pens. Oh well!

Thanks again!

Good to know. The rule of thumb is ask first then buy especially if it’s expensive.

Probably no time to ask for opinions if he just spotted it at a live estate sale. My guess is that the OP saw it as a cheap gamble. If real, it was a massive win, if not, he’s not out a ton of money. No harm done if picking it up on the super cheap.

No way to tell - we could second guess everything. It would be interesting to see if the record is a 1964 original or a 1987 reissue. Forgers are not always bright.
