Authenticity is Everything
McCartney guitar in charity auction
A local church is having a charity auction this weekend. The big item up for grabs is a guitar signed Paul McCartney. After reading the thread about bad items ending up in charity auctions and knowing zero about Beatle related items, I humbly ask for opinions on this one.
If questionable, I'll email the church to find out who supplied the items and the COAs. Other items for auction are a Sly Stallone signed boxing glove, and signed photos of John Glen, Mickey Mantle, and Charlton Heston.
Thank you!

On Dec 19 2013 Autograph Store Charity Fundraising changed their name to Charity GROW on facebook.

Not sure - I didn't see mention of him on the Charity Grow website. But I couldn't find who they have doing the authenticating. I wouldn't be surprised if the church has been dealing with "Charity Grow" via email but received old Autograph Store COAs.
If anyone wants to check out the guitars Charity Grow offers:

They seem a little too perfect...

I'm just now reading from the beginning, so please excuse me if someone already said this: Charity Grow and AS Charity Fundraising are both closely related to Autograph Store, by current or former owners or employees. They all are in the business of consigning forgeries to charities.

The link to their signed guitars are gone, but the link to their signed albums, Drumheads and photos are still up:

http://www.charitygrow.com/fundraising-items/autographed-drumheads/
http://www.charitygrow.com/fundraising-items/autographed-musician-p...
And I don't think any of these are genuine either. So we will see how long these links will work.
Good Job done here by everyone. I'm proud of all of you.

Really? Just try to get money back from them, you'll see what happen...

this is not an authentic McCartney signature. I would be concerned with all of the items at this point.

Anything from Autograph Store is a forgery. Anything associated with Anthony Nurse or Michael Tobin is a flat out forgery! Hopefully the will withdraw the items to avoid being stung later if the buyer realises they are fakes!
