John Lennon autograph and caricature -- real or fake?

This is a light signature and caricature in blue ink on a vintage Hit Parader magazine cover. I am trying to have it authenticated. I know Lennon's signature changed many times over the years. If anyone has any background in Lennon autographs, let me know what you think, and explain that you've had experience. If you have no experience in his sigs, feel free to respond, but please just leave a quick response. I am in the process of having it checked for authenticity.

Hi Linda,

Could you please send one, crisp large image? I don't think it's good, unfortunately, but I'm not an expert, and they'll want better images to give you a definitive opinion.

Unfortunately, the signature is very light, and my camera is not the best -- so I have to take close-ups, which doesn't therefore show the whole thing at once . . . but I'll try tomorrow. Thanks.

I agree with Steve, the photos are not good and it makes it very difficult to evaluate. but from what I can see, it could be good. Roger would be the best one to get a definitive opinion.
