Authenticity is Everything
Beatles Autograph Expert Frank Caiazzo Joins RR Auction’s Board of Authenticators
I know that not everyone in the hobby is committed to the task of ridding the bad stuff from collections. But Frank is. Frank is—rightfully so—a respected figure in the hobby plus a leading authority on Beatles signed and handwritten material. He’s studied their handwriting mannerisms inside out and can accurately approximate the era in which they were signed. How cool is that? More so—how important is that? Our clients love when our Beatle items are sold with his letters of authenticity because they add value and credibility.
I realize that Caiazzo’s frank, honest, and unbiased opinion isn’t always appreciated by everyone in the hobby—especially those who want to pass off non-authentic signatures of the Fab Four to an unsuspecting public. Frank's the man on the front line in the battle against Beatles forgeries, so he has been attacked by the friends of the forgery industry as being unqualified to render an opinion. We don’t believe them. How about you?

No offense to other Beatles authenticators, but I have never - and would never buy anything secondary market that Mr. Caiazzo had not signed off on already. His opinion may seem "expensive" to some, but I guarantee it is much less expensive than a costly mistake one can make by purchasing a bum Beatles or Beatle solo item. I have seen MANY Beatles autographs pass other authenticators - the respected ones (not that "black hat" gang of characters) only to fail Mr. Caiazzo's revered eye! I cannot think of an authenticator with more reverence in our hobby than he. Kudos to R&R for landing the titan of authenticators!

Thanks James and Rik,
Frank is unquestionably an asset to the legitimate autograph industry and RRAuction is lucky to have him as a consultant. As documented in the Abbey Road blog post, there a ton of forgeries on the market and we all need to turn to experts like Frank and Roger so we don't get burned.

Through our friendship and professional association over these many years, I owe the success of my Beatles autograph business to Frank Caiazzo. His passion, integrity, loyalty and fortitude has had a most positive and gratifying influence on me. There is no one better in his field. There is no better friend. Congratulations Frank ... on your new association with R&R Auctions !
