Beatles Autographs at Ebay (tracksuk) - really serious?

When I look at the autographs, I would say at first glance that they are fakes. John in particular looks scary.
In addition, a photo that is not really recognizable.
But ... the autograph is offered from Tracksuk
for £3,850.00. I am always skeptical when there is a COA, but tracksuk is actually serious.I think to make sure that an autograph is real, the artist must have signed it before his own eyes.Sometimes bad signatures are real and good signatures are fake. Can you trust anyone who issues a COA or is it just a huge business? How does Paul Wayne know when the autograph was made? (exact day). I know that most of the Beatles autographs are fakes, but I would immediately say with these autographs that they are fakes. The big examiners (Tracksuk, Caiazzo, Epperson, Cox) surely earn a lot of money with it. Please do not misunderstand, but I think the autograph business is flourishing, especially at Beatles, Nirvana, Michael Jackson etc.

Tracks is top notch and has a very strong lifetime guarantee. Plus they really care about their reputation.

The names you mentioned are the best in the business of Beatles autographs authentcation. If we can't trust them, then who can we trust? Yes, it is a business, and yes they make a lot of money out of it, but they are the authorities in the field. We must trust them because they have been in the field for decades, and have gained a great international reputation. I'm sure they don't do it just because of the love of money, but because of the true love of the field. I guess they see it as a kind of mission to fight the many fakes that are popping up everywhere. Maybe everything I said here sounds like something naive, but I really hope I'm not mistaken, because I trust their judgment. Yes, they are only human, and they can be wrong, but the weight of the small amount of mistakes they might make is negligible compared to their tremendous contribution.

Tracks are one of the best companies I've dealt with. The guys really really know their stuff. Not only are they great to buy from but if you can consign items with their specialist.

I somewhat disagree with this. I think you have to trust your own judgment above all. What about all those McCartneys that have letters from someone trusted, but most folks on here didn't like them?

I view letters as exhibits at trial. Is the opinion of an expert admissible? Yes. It's up to the trier of fact (such as a buyer, or a juror) to determine how much weight to give the evidence. In many high-dollar trials, there will be multiple experts on both sides offering different opinions. Again, the trier of fact determines how much weight, if any, to give to a particular expert.
