There's been mixed opinions concerning this John Lennon autograph from 1963.

Roger Epperson has said "he thinks it's fine" via his quick opinion... 

Picture has been uploaded with also the added letter from the lady who has stated she obtained it. 

Looking for some extra help from members on here if possible, thanks :)

Let's look at other things, just comparing the 4 that you and Terrier posted, Rob.

Notice how much more closed the O of John is on the one in question is, and most of all, how the connecting stroke from the O to the H drops down and moves right sharply, but it smoothly dips between the letters on the others.

Notice how the H looks like a small H, but the Hs look like an L followed by an i on the other 4.

I'm not focusing on the inscriptions because I wanted to place the signatures close together.

Zoom in closely on the comparison image, on a computer or tablet if you can, and look at the flow.

I'm doing this on my iPad because I spilled a full glass of water on my MacBook last night, so I can't do a few things I'd do otherwise. Luckily I turned it off before it shorted out...and that the Apple store is a block away!

Your right Steve.. The "O" in the one in question looks totally different to the authentic examples. 

I hope you get your MacBook sorted and it's not too costly to repair! 

It doesn't "flow"...it does look slowly "drawn"...

I think I can see it now Jim, comparing to the other examples to the one in question and taking a step back and looking at the autograph in its entirety.. It doesn't look as rushed as the others.

It looks as if it was signed yesterday and the bottom of the letters are not rounded enough. They do not seem to flow, to straight and rigid for my liking.   

Unfortunately this John is no good. 

Just found the link in my mailbox which was send on Dec. 11th. The sig is a poor and terrible fake and you never find a similar sig of John Lennon - if, it's a fake too. It's only to shorten the discussion. Experts which say "think it's fine" should change their profession!

I have to agree with Alexander. I thought this looked off from the moment I set eyes on it. Although I would in no way class myself as an authority on Lennon autographs I'm actually surprised that the discussion has gone on as long as it has.

It doesn't sit well with me. 

It should be noted Alexanders posts concern Epperson. Is there an agenda?

What kind of agenda?
Without mention Epperson I would always say it's a fake in my opinion!
Did you remove the 7 Bowie sigs. I can't find the photos anymore? Here's my opinion: All sigs are genuine without #4 (fake) and #2 is very questionable and need a better scan.

Alexander, you are not in the right thread here re Bowie - why would someone remove the images anyway? That suggestion is insulting. But, lets pick this up where it belongs - where it started. Jagger, Ochs, Morrison...etc.
