Wow! I'm glad we saved some bidder from throwing away their money.

I have been away for a while. And things certainly have moved along. One way or another, a lot of cash must have been made out the original set.

Check out Ebay listing number 153093839853. The same set selling as a copy printed on the back of a Beatles promo photo. At least not listed as genuine.

It's amazing how this one set has seemingly been everywhere with multiple versions, sellers, etc! Wonder how they are doing it? Color xerox perhaps?

The LOP included with the signed page states that the signatures are on the back of a photo that was also signed by the member of the RAF. The listing referenced by spacemen states that the signed photo is a reproduction of the original, but the RAF member's signature is missing.

I suppose the question still is, Does anyone know who owns the original?

The seller in the auction spaceman mentioned indicates in his description that he owns the original?

I never read that far. If he does in fact own the original, why did he leave the RAF reference off the copy?

Good question, spaceman. This is what the seller states in the listing:

THE PROMO PHOTO WAS SIGNED BY THE GROUP IN THE PERIOD BETWEEN THE TWO EVENING SHOWS AT THE ABC CINEMA, PLYMOUTH, DEVON ON THE 13th NOVEMBER 1963 THE ORIGINAL HAS BEEN IN MY POSSESSION SINCE THAT DATE.

A bold statement considering copies of these autographs are turning up everywhere.

I’ve asked the seller about the missing RAF signature as well as the RR auction and the Drew Max COA. Very odd indeed!!!

The seller indicated he sold laser copies with the RAF signature at the beginning. He digitally removed the RAF signature and now sells laser copies without it. He told me the RR item and the Drew Max items are copies as he owns the original.
