I'm liking it less and less. The large Ringo with "Love" set off major warning bells for me. I'm not sure it's Keithspoon's forger, but I think he's likely right.

We need a forgery exemplar library perhaps even more than a genuine exemplar library.

What do you mean by large Ringo Steve? There are other Ringo's of a similar size on albums.

The Ringo image you added yesterday is larger than the other one.

Here's a (1966 release) Ringo signed Yesterday & Today. Signed in a similar fashion - with just the word 'love' and almost identical positionally. There's also a close relation in the construction of the letters in 'love'.

Have you compared the "a" in "McCartney" to that in "Starr"? The Ringo's posted here - baseline, spatial relationships, concentration of letters, slant, formation, fluidity (or lack of)...all very different. Like the 3 Ringo's posted yesterday (below) - the one in question stands way out like a sore thumb.

Here are pics of the front and back - unfortunately they're of such a low resolution that they aren't much help. I'm going to view the album in person in a couple of weeks and will take much better images then.

I hate to say it but I don't think the autographs are real. Seeing them all together, I'm convinced that they're not. The Lennon especially looks wrong.

Seeing all the autographs together on a piece makes it so much easier to tell.
