"Indeed! Thanks again for your expertise and answers. This is always very much appreciated."

"Thanks for the link. It shows the article with the story about the owner finally getting Hallyday’s signature after 45 years. I’ve never heard of “M”, but he signed an EP that’s older than him."

"That's very interesting. I searched and found explanations on a French forum dedicated to Hallyday: https://johnnyhallydayleweb.forumpro.fr/t6925p25-le-1er-autographe-du-trio-jimi-hendrix-experience-sur-un-45-tours-de-johnny The guy who…"

"It does say in the auction description that Hallyday signed in 2011."

"Good catch. I’ve had this one in my exemplar file for quite some time. The image I have doesn’t have that writing or most of the first word in the upper left corner."

"Thanks to you both for your opinions. I was suspicious because there are recent writings. "Aime" de -M- seems to refer to a French song issued in 1999…"

"It's at RR Auction now closing on 9/20. $12,000 estimate. "

"Authentic IMO"

"Do you have a link to the Saturday post re sales? I have to say I've also noticed a bit of a decline in Macca autographs flying out. Influx on the market?"

"I would not judge authenticity on the lack of "r" formation.  "

"Pursuing a vintage fuller signature is the ideal so I'd pass anyway. I did not like the Paul and the others did not have much eye appeal (George ink adhesion, John faded). Your post on Saturday regarding the lack of sales is one I noticed.…"

"And not even rushed during the signing!"

"You may have already discussed it in another forum, but have you seen the way Paul is now signing ? Seems like letters are missing now... What would you have think about such signatures if seen "alone" outside of the context of this…"

"I think that’s a genuine trait. The “R” sometimes crosses the “T” above a loop."

"It was the Paul that stopped me. I expected it to be a forgery style. It seems a bit wide as well. The quality of the George did not help."
