You might be correct and it looks like he/she has gotten better with this style/period.

You’re right that collectors should find a solid set and hold onto it. So many scammers...

Here’s another one. The authentic set that Spaceman posted is actually posted in this discussion as well:

Interesting posts. The early years seem especially good for forgery since most rip-off artists focus on late 1963-1966, when the band was most accessible to the public.

It's a very frustrating determing legitimate sets today. And finding genuine signatures for cheap just ain't in the cards.

I'd hate to pay premium prices from the few exclusive dealers out there; those prices seem (to me) to be so wrong. But when a band has a legacy such as The Beatles, the crooks always smell money. And thus, fakes, forgeries and just plain junk abound.

It is indeed tough to find a good deal, which leaves a lot of room for scammers to produce these perceived bargains. The Beatles signed tons of autographs and there are plenty of solid examples out there, but the demand is so high and you have to compete with the resellers.
