Hi 180 Grams,

Only 3 different ones were uploaded. Rubber Soul was uploaded twice.

I hate to say it, but all three of these are well-known forgery styles in my opinion. Let's see what others say.

It’s more Rubber Soul than it is authentic.

I agree with Steve, unfortunately. They all appear consistent with a known forgery style.

180 Grams, we see these far too often, unfortunately. They're the kind sold since the turn of the century by very legitimate-looking galleries in wealthy tourists spots like Las Vegas casinos in places like Las Vegas.

Here's a long discussion about Abbey Road albums purportedly signed by the Beatles, all but a few this forgery style in my opinion (there are 2 real ones at the top of the discussion that fans got in London).

If yours have holograms of an authentication company and you bought them since 2011, there's a very good chance they were certified authentic by GFA: Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators. The former president of Global Authentication runs that company.

Could be another authenticator, but whoever authenticated them was wrong IMO.

Looks to be the work of the "So. Cal" folks.

Unfortunately I also believe these are not genuine autographs and agree they appear to be the work of a well documented forger. When he first appeared on the scene he fooled many high end auction houses that sold many oh his fake sets to unsuspecting buyers. The problem is that years later these buyers are trying to sell autographs that they thought were genuine (some with COA’s) however the collectors world is keenly aware of these forged items and selling them is next to impossible. If possible returning them for a refund might be the best option available,

When and where did you get these and did any of them come with a COA or LOA? Could be the work of the infamous forger Joe Long. The Revolver LP would be worth about 100 grand if real -- but it's not. (Not sure why you keep calling it Rubber Soul).
