None of the autographs on both of these baseballs are genuine in my opinion. The Beatles ones are especially amateur. Hopefully you haven't bought them. Are they being offered for sale?

Thanks for your input.  What specifically leads you to this position?

I agree about the Beatles ones. The Ringo is particularly bad.

Is there any chance the signatures are altered due to the fact they are signed on a non-flat surface?

Additionally, with the Lennon signature in particular, has he always looped his "L" like I've seen in so many examples before?  Or was it hit or miss?

these are not authentic. signing on a ball does not change the signature that much.

terrier8HOF and the others are certainly correct about the Beatle autographs, there's no way that they're genuine, even taking into account that they are signed on a ball. I don't have the knowledge to comment on the other signatures.
