This one was sold by RnR auctions in 2018. It sold for just over $9k. Here is the auction description.

John Lennon has beautifully signed this 8 x 10 black and white photo of the cover of his album "Rock 'N' Roll in blue felt tip marker. This was from the collection of of Beatles Press Agent Derek Taylor. The cover photograph features a young John Lennon standing in a doorway with a neon sign with the album title above him. "Rock 'N' Roll" was Lennon's fifth solo album, released in 1975 on Apple Records. The album consisted of Lennon's cover of late 1950's and early 1960's songs. Authenticated By Frank Caiazzo. Very good condition. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.

Wow! Thank you so much. I just can't see Lennon signing 3 EXACTLY the same. One of them (if not two) has to be fake. I drunkenly asked the seller again if it was signed in biro and he said: 'Yes you can see it in the photo, thanks'

Fab's example isn't the same, though similar. I've had a look at the eBay seller's listings. I would certainly prepare yourself to find the signature to be printed.

So, he's lied about the biro? DARN!

hi be, yes in blue biro pen, but as it says in my description, the signature is "uncertified" hence low price, if it had a "cetificate of authentiticty" it would be worth a lot more, thanks
