Great advice Steve. If the stars align with Epperson, perry cox, caiazzo , tracks than your fine.
I know from experience some of the guys know where it was signed who's collection it's in, thats why anything new that turns up i question that none off the experts have seen it before.
Thanks again for the input.Caiazzo and tracks will not help with this piece.perry is not going to be easy either.Roger would be the only option of the 4. This piece goes off on the auction block at 10am eastern time Tuesday morning.my phones gonna ring when they are within 5 lots from it to get me ready for the phone bid I'm so confused and have mixed feelings.the sigs look good however I respect all of your opinions very much.thats what makes this so hard right now.I spoke with the Sotheby's rep about the piece in detail last week and they said that there is no 3rd party loa for it.however they also said that there experts have thoroughly looked into the piece and they have guaranteed authenticity.they include a provenance letter from the owner stating how it was obtained.here it is.time is my enemy at this moment.i really like the piece and if it's real,I'm prepared to fight for it.
I've known about the piece for a while now and I've never put up a thread about it until today.ive been thinking its 100% real.until now.
I know know Paul,but these days you really can't put to much stock in there quick opinion.steve Grad will be at iconic auctions Monday and Tuesday this week to authenticate for them.im thinking maybe calling them to see if Grad can take a quick look also.just a thought.
Like Sotheby's said, they guarantee the authenticity. I believe it's for 5 years and they take their guarantee seriously. You'll get your money back if the authorities in Beatles question it.
Thanks Steve.that is the only comfort here,that its Sotheby's I'm dealing with here.im gonna call them tomorrow again and talk about guarantees.
This might all be a moot point anyway asuming I don't even win the piece.
