I think it's Genuine. Not the best McCartney out there, because it looks like a crowd or rushed autograph. But still genuine.

I do not see any way that signature is authenticateable. It may be legit but too many inconsistencies. My opinion.

It may very well be, but there are a lot of things wrong with it.  My point is, I do not believe a signature like that can be authenticated.  The formation of the "u", the "l" being larger than the "P", the "m".  I have seen his rushed signatures before but at least there are consistencies in some of the letter formation.  I see none of that here.

I would not have failed this signature, but I would have rendered "no opinion" as I do not believe there are enough positives.

I've seen a number like this one, including one a little better that Steve Grad from PSA/DNA got on a Sgt. Pepper's when Sir Paul was in L.A. last year. He emailed me the night he got it, really excited. It's not as attractive a signature as he often has signed, but I think you'll find a good number of reliable exemplars from the past few years.

What's actually nice about this one is that he signed part of his last name, too. It's very common for him to just sign "Paul" these days.
