"On the plus side, you could say that the most valuable single autographs (Lennon and Harrison) were OK prior to restoration. I would have thought that an LP signed by Lennon on his own must be getting on for $10k these days and his autograph was…"
"Tricky autograpraph to authenticate - especially the late ones.
I certainly wouldn't rule this out instantly. Perhaps a touch too boldly-written for this time in his life but wait for other opnions.

"Too perfect for my taste... just kidding of course though perfection in both signature and placement is not my own no. 1 priority. For some strange reason I quite like "rushed" examples. Contrast and lack of fading is, on the other hand,…"

The best aspect of the piece for me would be the massive…"

"At the risk of going off-topic and getting very philosophical, I guess when we buy autographs we can never be 100% certain that they are genuine. If the signing is officially witnessed, if there are photographs of the signing or at least photographs…"
"Hi Rod, thanks for your very comprehensive and interesting contribution.
I'm not sure Phil or Paul look at AML frequently but I can tell you that the NME went for around £500 at a UK auction. Given the number of signers on it, I doubt…"
