"Here is one I used to have from the litho John and Yoko. If I saw the ones you posted in isolation I would say they are not John's handwriting (while mine clearly was). The common John Lennon signature trademark you see around is based on…"
"Yes a new book out called Looking Back - the Final Trip, an extended version of the last book published some years ago. "
"A nice looking set, if it is live ink. It would be great if there was a database somewhere of hundreds of authentic examples. Perhaps there is a copyright issue with such a venture. There were some online attempts years ago, venue by venue, year by…"
"They did sign prolifically as they went up and down the UK in 1963 and were less accessible after that. Fans would get them at stage door, in coffee shops, on the way to the venue and myriad other places. They performed more than 200 times in…"

"Modern abbreviated Pauls are a difficult area and much forged. Although I would not buy these without a Tracks or Frank C COA I am of the opinion these are Paul's handwriting."
