Hi there,

I bought these signatures years ago from a lady who was an avid pop music autograph collector in the 60's. They're pretty knocked about as you can see.

She said that she managed to get these signatures from the Beatles when they toured Australia in 1964. 

I'd really appreciate opinions from members: real or fake? 

Thanks!!

Fake, unfortunately.

Even I can see they're fake

And so is the story obviously

I hate to say it but I agree. And if you ever see the lady again, tell her it's John, PAUL, George & Ringo; not John, Mick, George & Ringo.

I flipped it so it's easier to see.

Thanks to you Steve and for others that have given their opinions.

As disappointing as the feedback has been, when I look again they even look fake compared to genuine ones I've seen.

We hate giving people bad news like that, and we have to give it far too often. I hope you didn't pay more than a few hundred dollars.

It was $150 probably 30 years ago.

The good news is that it was part of a much bigger batch including a couple of sets of early Rolling Stones autographs (photo attached), Bob Dylan etc.

The Stones' autographs are, I think (hope!!) genuine.

I hope you're right! And a $150 hit you can take. You probably easily got that much enjoyment out of them since the late '80s.

Peter, I think the lady believed that they were actually signed by the Beatles.

The autographs are under the tape residue. They were there before the wear, folding and separation. She probably handed the paper to someone in the crew who said he'd get the Beatles to sign it for her, but signed them himself.

I'd be very surprised if this lady had any idea she was selling you forgeries.

Agreed!
