Yes indeed. He struck hard that time with a dedication from each Beatle.

He was definitely a disaster. We recently saw a full set that was authenticated by JSA.

Yeah...I remember that. The guy that has this one had it framed and it's hanging on his wall.

In a nutshell...Joe Long started selling real Beatles autographs years ago. He realized that he could copy The Beatles autographs. Soon...he was selling real ones mixed in with his fakes. He did really well. His forgeries were soon selling at the auction houses. He was soon discovered in the early 1990's. His forgeries still show up in people's collections...

Didn't Paul typically use the end stroke of the y in Mccartney to close the parentheses on "Beatles".

As we've seen throughout history, the tragedy is - long after we're gone - these fakes will continue fooling new (and old) fans forever.
