Thanks Ballroom days
The John is heavier handed than all the other writing if that makes sense ,the best wishes is really weak and light , the last name lennon goes from soft to heavy ,im glad you pointed that out as i had that feeling .I wasnt sure if he had been interrupted during the signing ? as it doesnt look like the secretary signatures ,but i'm relatively new to this
I dont like anything about the Lennon, but the Ringo looks good.
The Ringo looks genuine for sure.
I think the opinion you got on this Ringo was right, Eddie. Don't destroy things like this, though. They're honest secretarials and part of Beatles history. As long as they're offered as secretarial, it's A-OK to sell them.
I think the Harrison is secretarial as well, but you probably already knew that.
Good comment, Harry.
Are there honest forgeries? No!
Are their honest secretarials, preprints or Autopens...I think so. Look at all the land grants secretarially signed for presidents, and preprinted signatures on fan photos for the Beatles and other bands.
An autograph collector may not want them, but others might be happy to have them if they knew what they were buying.
i think that you are right most of the time Harry. They just arent good for much, but in my opinion, the Beatles are a little bit different of a ball game. Because everything of theirs is so collectible, im sure their are alot of people who would enjoy such an item, if only due to the fact that it represents a place in history, and a sense of naustalgia, of a specific moment in the beatles career. I think more people obsess over the beatles than any other band their has ever been and the appeal here would seem to be that it represents just a stage in the beatles fame. Plus i know their are alot of collectors out their and authenticators who would probably like to have these items if they could get them cheap to add to their database of secretarials. The more words on a secretarial, the more handwriting they have to compare too with legit sigs. I mean, even though they arent worth much, if i was alive during that time and wrote to the beatles and got back a standard fan letter with secretarial signatures, id know it wasnt worth much, but i still would think it was kinda cool because it has to do with the beatles and their rise to fame. That may not make much sense, but thats the appeal to me at least. Now common other preprints of other bands, even hendrix, or a president, honestly their is non appeal their in a secretarial or preprint. I dont know why, but i cant think of any other secretarial that i may hang onto other than the beatles. Maybe its just me. lol
Hi Guys ,
I have had some conflicting opinions on this letter ,its now 2 against 2 . I have been told the star part is the give away that the signature is real and a pre 65 signature ,and as i said ive been told its fake .This one doesnt matter so much as its already gone to a collector .The Harrison is actually printed on Steve ,but whats cool about it is its been signed on the back by Monica Rose ,Tony Holland and Hughie Green (opportunity knocks)
And again thanks for all the replies and being so informative
Eddie
Hello
The Ringo looks fine but the John Lennon is not authentic in my opinion. In regards to Julien I have never studied childrens autographs so I would have no idea
