I'm interested in hearing what Beatles guys have to say about this one.

I wouldn't claim to be an expert as such but even I can see problems with this. To me all the signatures seem a bit off. The "love" (?) Ringo has written does not look like his handwriting to me - it is normally far less loopy. I don't remember seeing an underlined block capital "Beatles" from Paul that often either but I haven't gone back through my records to check. I'd be amazed if all four signatures get the all clear. It wouldn't surprise me if all the green ink signatures are from the same hand.

At first glance, WOW. But the more you look the more you start doubting. I have never seen the A in Harrison look like that. The autographs also look too fresh.

I agree with you, Eva. John and Ringo, at least, look to be in the same hand to me. None of the autographs look right to me.

I agree...they kinda look good at first glance but something is definitely off with each of them. I don't like it and wouldn't want it.

This program is from July 1963 when I believe the band was playing in Weston Super Ware...here is a set of signatures from that week in 1963...

I don't like the Heritage auction autographs...

when I first looked at these, the McCartney and Ringo immediately stood out as being off, esp the Mccartney and "love" with Ringo.

the George looks right on to me but the Harrison looks off.

I've never seen a "love" from Ringo that looks like this...also...the "J" in John and the "L" in Love from Ringo...the loops at the top of both letters looks the same to me...

Speaking of the "Love" from Ringo...here is "Love" from Ringo from late 1962...and "Love" from Ringo from 2014...neither matches the 1963 tour program...

Also interesting to note that while some of Heritage's Beatles Autographs have LOAs from Frank Caiazzo, this one does not. Wonder if Frank rejected it?  Too bad he is not on this site.  (At least I THINK he is not!)
