Hi pug. I agree. It looks pretty ugly with the light “OR”, especially next to one with even ink flow.

I think the McCartney can't be real. There's no R, and the T starts with a loop. I went through an entire page of Frank Caiazzo's website and I didn't find one like it.

Here's the White Album Macca. Notice how the T hump starts with a loop:

Every McCartney on Caiazzo's Latest Acquisitions page starts with a tiny up and down stroke for the R, and then rises directly up to start the T, like this one:
Here's a rough sketch of the difference. The White Album Macca has a loop. The bottom one I called genuine is like every McCartney on Caiazzo's page:

It was the Paul that stopped me. I expected it to be a forgery style. It seems a bit wide as well. The quality of the George did not help.

I think that’s a genuine trait. The “R” sometimes crosses the “T” above a loop.

I would not judge authenticity on the lack of "r" formation.

You may have already discussed it in another forum, but have you seen the way Paul is now signing ? Seems like letters are missing now... What would you have think about such signatures if seen "alone" outside of the context of this video?

And not even rushed during the signing!

Pursuing a vintage fuller signature is the ideal so I'd pass anyway. I did not like the Paul and the others did not have much eye appeal (George ink adhesion, John faded). Your post on Saturday regarding the lack of sales is one I noticed. Eva's comments as well. Given the Paul, the overall presentation is still weak IMO.

Do you have a link to the Saturday post re sales? I have to say I've also noticed a bit of a decline in Macca autographs flying out. Influx on the market?
