I don't like the Lennon.

That's the feeling i am getting too--He has a bunch of other pieces that are legit so it would be so strange for him to hang up. But it feels off or signed by someone else. This is the full poster.

Not necessarily. You described him as a fan, not an autograph collector. Let's see what Ballroom and the others say,

I really appreciate the response. Any thoughts on paul or ringo? I think paul is rushed but possibly good.

I am not in a position to authenticate any of these but I sense that the backstory is clouding your judgement.

A bit easier to examine when the image is right side up.  I’m not sure on the Alan Parsons signature, the Billy Preston looks off to me.  Ringo’s signature also does not look correct to me.

Paul’s signature on the Sgt Pepper Lp doesn’t look correct to me and it’s a style that has been heavily forged.

The John signature definitely looks off to me - not signed by John.

I would not rule the Paul out, it has some positives

Here’s the Lennon in question along with two other Bag One litho signatures. The first example is also from one of the title pages.

I believe the ones I posted are good. There are 300+ Bag One portfolios, each containing 15 lithos that John signed in pencil. 300 are numbered. He also signed the title pages. The bottom signature pictured above is from the Tracks website.
