I'm not as good as many others here on the Stones, but I'm concerned about Ron and Mick. Keith looks pretty close to me. Music authenticator Roger Epperson will give you an online opinion on them for $15. It's worth it before you buy. roger@rogerepperson.com

The autographs were taken face-to-face from the Rolling Stones on 24th October 1963 at the stage Door of the Birmingham Odeon, United Kingdom where the Rolling Stones were supporting the The Everley Brothers, Bo Diddley and Little Richard as part of a 32 date tour promoted by Don Arden. 

This was the Rolling Stones first major tour and were pretty much unknown in Birmingham. My friend Paul got these direct off the Rolling Stones when he was 14 when he met them at the Stage Door of the Odeon before the show. The Stones asked him if they knew any book shops nearby so Paul took the Stones to a book shop on Corporation Street and left them there and returned to the venue to get more autographs from the main stars. Remember the Rolling Stones were pretty much unknown at that point.

brilliant these in no way apply to the authenticity request of the much later signatures posted here but it does help to promote your set you have for sale on e bay

Thanks Roger. Thought they might be a good reference point. I've not added any links to an auction site on this comment nor have i listed this in the buy and sell section of the forum or in anyway said i was selling any of my autographs. I just thought it was useful.
