Help with Ringo signed Gartlan Plate 1996

At some point in the future I would like to have a Ringo signature, and I see these Gartlan plates pop up on Ebay that he supposedly signed 1,000 of in 1996. I would like to have a signature without worrying much about authenticity. Can I trust these? They seem pretty unique, but have people faked these? And what should I pay? I have not done much research but thought I would ask some Beatles enthusiasts on here. Thank You!

A plate will not sell like a signed photo down the road. Some of these are facsimiles, but he apparently did sign 1000 of which this appears to be one. I could be wrong but for this price you might be able to find a signed photo. A signed plate seems to me to have a limited audience and, unlike a photo or the like, this can break. My .02. It seems w/o the signature it's a $40 plate.

Ringo signed a deal with Gartland to personally sign 1,000 of these plates showing different phases of his career in 1996. These have all been signed by Ringo himself...the plates are fine.
