They collect their exemplars individually.

I agree, there is a really dated year by year beatle signature graphic floating around. It's been around for 20 years now.

You seem to know what it is then Steigs. Do they add to it the experts.
How do you like my George?

Those are exemplars from Caiazzo's Oct.-Nov. 1995 2-part series in Autograph Collector magazine.

I like it. I clicked on it and zoomed in. It looks like it was signed on a flat, stable surface, and it's perfectly placed on the album. It wasn't just a quickie autograph.

Notice the tapers when the pen lifts at the end of the lines. Not a streak like a super-fast signature, but not blunt-ended as if it were signed slowly.

and that may be, George wasn't a guy you'd catch signing in a crowd after a show, you'd likely need to be in a privileged position to get him and thus you don't see too many super sloppy rushed signatures.

Steve, check out my new close up study of this piece. It is 100% fake my friend and I think you will agree with this new zoomed in image of that start and stop point on the "i" and the path of the ink on the "H". These things cannot be denied.

Do you mean the ones published by Autograph Collector magazine in 1995 done by Frank Caiazzo?

Since the term TPA has been used several times here to refer to all the Beatles experts discussed here, I want to make it clear that Tracks and Perry Cox are not third-party authenticators--as far as I know, at least. They are strictly dealers and in the case of Tracks, also an auctioneer.
