Signature characteristics aside, that looks to be fresh ink. The impression that is channeled into the paper by the pressure of the pen's ball (track) doesn't even appear to have relaxed as of yet.

I agree with George and Woody. Sorry you got burned, Russell.

Who was the Beatles vendor and when did you buy it? There's a chance you can get your money back. Not easy but worth a try.

I was given this item by a retired Beatles Con vendor.  He is over 80 years old now and had this and many other items in storage for over 20 years.  This particular item even included an envelope postmarked 1969 and a Beatles fan club letter mentioning the picture and signatures.  The forger went to great length.  Fortunately I will not suffer any loss.  He gave me many other signed items.  Beatle group and individual.  I will post a few shortly to see if any of them are genuine.  Thanks so much for your response.  It is very appreciated!

Then they're fan club secretarial autographs, not malicious in the least!

I thought you bought it at a Beatles Con for real money, Russell. Way too many people get ripped-off at conventions...and all over.
