Thanks for the information, Nate. That clears things up for sure. As Terrier noted, it is an atypical Paul autograph. Therefore, a signature like that one can cause some confusion.

Nate may I ask you a question? Did you ask him to sign inside the White Album or did he just open it up and sign inside? Where did he sign on the Pepper on front or inside?

Probably worth clarifying that although I was the possessor of this and the aforementioned Sgt Peppers, I was not the obtainer, as such I am unable to answer your question with certainty. However I can say the Peppers was also signed in the gatefold and that it is highly unlikely the obtainer would have asked for a specific autograph placement (it also seems quite common for white albums to be signed above respective photos in the gatefold).

Was the Pepper dated as well?

Nope. Here's a link to the piece (recently sold through RR): http://www.rrauction.com/PastAuctionItem/3348124

Interesting, not doubting the authenticity. A little interesting he dated the one and not the other though. Thanks for the info.

I saw this somewhere else and spent some time looking at it.  while the overall signature is non-typical (I have never seen one like this), it is likely authentic.

That's a good point, Ian. Even though it may be authentic, is it one that a person would want in their collection. It might not be an easy sell down the road when you're ready to part with it.

its a personal choice.  because it is likely authentic, that is good enough for many collectors no matter what it looks like.  so at half the price it would have been a bargain to those people.  I would prefer one that is more typical.

I find the market for McC signatures very interesting.  there are some Sgt Pepper and White albums with Caiazzo certs that have been listed around 2500 or BO and they have been sitting there for what seems like years.  because most of these listings are BIN, its difficult to truly establish what the market is willing to pay for McC signatures.
