No one is claiming that it’s a reprint.

I wanted to say that if several autographs were written at the same time, that all or part of the written autographs could look very similar. Even Jamnick's autograph, although signed days later, bears a good resemblance to George Harrison. However, I am not an expert to be able to judge that.

They would appear more naturally signed, and not like carefully drawn copies that attempt to mimic nuances associated with an authentic set and that actually take one of the signatures out of context. Remember, there are two sets that were posted in addition to the authentic one.

I have a question and I'm no expert either, is it possible to have the OP set forged, make up provenance that has accurate information for that exact show and pass it through a reputable auction house and have it authenticated? It just seems very elaborate for a single autograph set. According to the history on the Gordon set, this was signed during a break in the show and the OP set was signed as the beatles got out of the van before the show, probably a couple of hours apart.

It’s certainly possible. That said, do we know for sure that this set actually sold through that auction house? COAs are faked too.

How did the seller end up with multiple sets from the “Rauhut Collection” if they sold through an auction house?

I think the set in the OP bears a resemblance to this set, especially John’s and Ringo’s signatures.

I know it's been a while but the various opinions on this piece left me wondering. So, I tried Roger Epperson again with an explanation and pictures of this set. He did respond quickly and he stated that in his opinion the autographs are authentic. Thank you to everyone that commented on this discussion.

I would suggest sending him an image of the set on the green page. Close copies can sometimes fool even professional authenticators because they’re so close in appearance to an authentic set.
