They look good to me, although on a plastic bag, the signatures will degrade over time. Paul’s has already stated to do so.

Do you think there would be any way to prevent that from happening?  Does anyone have experience with an autograph on plastic?

It depends on the stability of the plastic as well as storage.

Do people think it's crazy to pay $300 for this?  If it was on a piece of paper I think it would easily be worth that; I don't know how to think about it being on plastic.

I think it's worth $300. Figure in $50-$200 or so for preservation materials, depending if you store it or want to mount it. I do think the Macca is real BTW. I don't know Blake's well.

Neither of them look real to me. I have met Peter Blake on many occasions and have a vast collection over the years and this looks too far off. In addition to this, the ‘all the best!’ does not match Pauls handwriting from what I have seen with known genuine examples.

I hadn’t seen these before. My first thought was that the inscription and signature bear a resemblance to a known forgery style. Did Paul really sign plastic bags the day before the event with a rushed signature?

There was an event the day before the gallery opening to the public.
