McCartney - Hand-written?
Struggling with this. Is this hand-written or pre-printed?

It looks like a photo but the image you posted is a highly degraded JPG. Are there any crisper photos?

These are the only others I have. I was given a close-up of McCartney, which is why I titled this as I did. I figure they're all hand-signed or none of them are.

The photos are too low quality to tell, really low-quality JPGs. I think that they could be actually signed but the degraded quality of the image makes it too hard to reliably tell.
If you buy it, pay with regular PayPal so you have the guarantee.

I agree - low quality. PayPal is a good idea.

Good. Images like that are usually a bad sign. Can you ask for better ones first? They can save them as anything but a JPG and they'll automatically be sharp as long as they's large. If they can save as a high quality JPG that's fine too.

I’d say definitely not pre printed - it would be odd to only pre print Paul and Ringo? The image quality is poor but it does look like a ball point over a glossy surface.

It's not rare for scammers to make copies of genuine pieces and try to sell them as real.

Only after physical inspection you will be able to tell if it's real ink or preprinted. It looks like real ink to me, but my guess is as good as your guess.

First, thanks to all for your responses.
Secondly, I got some additional pictures in. I think the surface of the front is not flat and smooth. I think the ballpoint or rollerball ink sunk into the surface, making the ink appear pixelated (?) as if lasered on by a printer. At this point, I think they're hand-signed.
(Hopefully the zip file uploads properly.)

Open the zips and upload the images. Zips require downloading and can contain viruses. This is how to place images:

Those are still fuzzy and degraded but there is a decent chance that they're not in the photo, they're on it. That the seller is still sending you highly degraded photos concerns me a lot, but if you use PayPal and make sure you're covered under their buyer protection, you should be covered.
