I'd avoid this.

Not sure about this - it doesn't feel right to me. If I was searching for a John signature, I'd keep searching.

I’m not 100% sure but I think it could be genuine.  Having said that even if it is genuine I think I would pass based on the quality of the signature.

Whether real or not it doesn't have a lot going for it.

It is an active ebay auction ending in 4-1/2 days.  Current bid is $561 as of Sunday morning.  Seller is Probstein in NJ, very respected, I buy a lot from them.

For the record, I am truly out of my league trying to assess authenticity of Beatles items, so thank you to my colleagues for their generous help.  Echoing some other comments, it's a really sloppy sig, authentic or not; I would rather pay more for a nicer presentation.

Totally agree. Definitely wait for a nicer one.

I was mostly curious about price to see how much this poor condition hurts the value.
