Authenticity is Everything
Need help with this Beatles signed album :)
Hi all! New member here :) Ok so I have a question on this signed Beatles album I have come into my possession. Here is the back story: It is the old cliche, my father collected many things including many autographs throughout his life and two years ago he passed away. Going through his stuff I came across this signed Sgt.Peppers album. I know...I know, this is like the holy grail of Beatles stuff and know what it is potentially worth. I have done a lot of research and comparatives and they look legit to me from their styles, to how hard they push when they sign. I emailed Roger Epperson for a quick opinion and he messaged back saying "I'm sorry but this is not authentic in my opinion, it's really a very harsh attempt at their autographs." I disagree and am not ready to give up on this and want to obtain other opinions, My question is, what are your opinions? What would you guys do? Anything you could tell me would help me greatly! Thank you!

I don't like beating a dead horse, unfortunately, these are not authentic signatures.

Whether you believe it's real or not, keep it if you enjoy owning it.
But, I recommend not putting any money into authentication fees because you will get more verdicts like those here.

Thanks for your input everyone! It is greatly appreciated! I haven't spent anything on authentication so I am not really minus anything but this is good to know.

There are only a handful of known, fully signed Sgt. Peppers -- and this one ain't even close.
If it were real -- we are talking several hundred grand.

you will find that any collectors with knowledge of Beatles signatures will tell you this is a forgery.

Thanks for taking the time to share these signatures. I concur with everyone here that they are indeed 100% fraudulent.
A few observations:
These signatures were created using black markers (rare in and of itself at the time), in the exact same style, without any obvious characteristics of rushed signing. Unless the band was held hostage and sedated, a set this clearly presented and uniform draws immediate suspicion.
Your album looks in remarkably good cosmetic condition, without any obvious or natural signs of aging and use. What year was your LP released? This album has many release variations, depending on the date of issue. The 1960s Capitol and UK Parlophone pressings are quite distinct and much research exists on these and most reissues up to the late 1970s. By looking at the LP label, the LP cover text and matrix numbers, for example, you should be able to accurately date when your album was made, helping to debunk any nutty signing tale associated with fakes.
