Authenticity is Everything

John Lennon Pan Am Postcard

Hey guys I know this has been discussed on here previous, however I’ve just purchased this at auction on a bit of a whim, and every top authenticator I have sent it to, other than Garry King, thinks it’s fake. What’s everyone’s thoughts? And what would you do if you were me? 🥴🤦🏻‍♂️

As I mentioned in our conversation a few hours ago, this is a sample that has already been shown. Frankly, there are aspects that closely resemble John's signature. For example, the J suggests it's possibly from 1963 or perhaps early 1964. The Ns have the correct angle, but they're slightly more pointed than usual. The loop in the Ns looks a bit odd, but I've seen it in other samples. That's the complicated world of signature analysis, my friend.

The auction house you bought it from had some bad fakes in their last auction including a horrible Pink Floyd LP.
I'd listen to "every top authenticator" you sent it to and get your money back.
