For me personally, no. I've seen various Paul McCartney autographs and I don't like the flow of this autograph. I would not buy it.

Thanks Robin. Are you familiar with this certificate at all?

Not one I'm personally familiar with. You never know, it may be real as you do get obscure autographs not like the norm but not for me, this one. 

Remember COA's are worthless for the most part, so don't use this alone as a means of authentication when it comes to signed memorabilia - the only way you'll truly know is if you see it signed in front of your face or you get the item from someone you trust.

I would not rule this one out. the "L' is not typical but there are some positives that I see.

I agree terrier8HOF. There are some positives about it. It could be as I say just an obscure autograph which can happen. 

There's just things about it which don't add up to me wanting it in my collection but yes, it could be just one of those autographs which is a bit different from the rest.

Steve would be the guy to ask, for some reason....in the back of my mind I think The Odyssey Group may have some history with the published Autograph Magazine.

Now remember, my memory has certainly been faulty when it comes to who did what in this hobby of ours.....I know they certainly advertised in the magazine, but it would take me at least a week to dig out an old issue to see if they were owners or publishers before Steve.

Thanks to all ...I will await further scrutiny. I am not selling it anyway. Just hope it is good and can go in my collection ...

I've heard of the Odyssey Group. I also definitely wouldn't rule this one out. I see substantial positives here.

Well I am happy with the assessments so far ...I took a chance at $100, because I thought it looked good and I was told the cert was from a good place. I will happily add it to my collection ...thanks to all
