Ha!  I was wondering the same thing, Bruce Juice.  I was confused until I read your reply.  It is great that you guys are able to identify these things.  Great job.

They're a well-known forgery style. It's been known for a good 15 years.

All by hand. Same forger as the main one talked about here: https://live.autographmagazine.com/profiles/blogs/beatlessigned-abb...

I’d really like to know to whom the “hologram certified” refers.  What I’m about to say does not refer to the member that posted this discussion.  He may very well be an unwitting victim of the forgery industry.  

It always makes me chuckle when unscrupulous ebay sellers who are knowingly selling a forgery item will say something to the effect of, “This item comes with a matching hologram certification,” as if an attached hologram brings with it an ironclad “proof” of authenticity.  Well, just like all LOAs, it depends on who issued or produced that hologram.  It’s funny that now a shiny hologram is supposed to bring with it the highest level of trust in authentication.  Lol.

The saddest part of all of this is that the poster may be out several thousand dollars for which he may never receive compensation.  It really bites whenever you find out something you’ve owned for a long time is a fake...what you’ve been admiring for so long isn’t what you thought it was.  And to make matters worst of all, the items cost you a big wad of cash.

These are indeed phony signatures. The big clue is the Lennon, written, fairly consistently, in the same mid to late 70's style. And indeed, this forger(s) has been around in the Vegas high end shops for a while. Cleverly designed to fool the most sophisticated collectors, a little research will expose them for the crap they are.
