Coming up for sale at the Propstore in London are these 4 sets of Beatles autographs.  All come with COA’s from  Roger Epperson and have the OK from Garry King.  The 4th pic is the Danish Lp Hottest Hits and Paul, George and Ringo have signed in pencil.

Should we be reading something between the lines here?

I wouldn't want any of them from an aesthetic viewpoint.  I would also have my doubts about some of the autographs, particularly three of the four Lennon's (only the third one looks bang on), and the first Macca. The fourth item is hard to make out in parts.

I thought the same thing about Lennon's autograph...

Each with individual problems. Jack Alexander was in the Alexander Brothers it seems and they appear to have outsold the Beatles in Scotland for one song or something, but no idea if that is his signature. "Christine" to "Chris"?  Pencil? Are there many examples where there is no room left for George or whoever as in the first?

These look somewhat odd to me this way or that, some more than others. Should not be a proxy signer like Neil with those papers, so I am not sure. I'd not buy any though. Perhaps these are examples of one signing for another as in a recent thread?

Th estimates are 10-20K for the first and 5-10K for the last 3. Those seem high. 

All 4 come with a letter COA from Roger Epperson.  I’m not familiar with the 2nd authenticator Garry King but seems he is well known in the UK.

I actually like all 4 of these sets.  Some of the signatures (John in particular) are somewhat atypical which adds a uniqueness to the sets.

That set apparently has the wrong year - it was from NZ the next year? Surprised this is not on the cert shown as it is clearly stated in the collectors 1995 letter of provenance.

I've always been very underwhelmed by Roger's certificates. I know that all the stuff about the authentication procedures performed that you get on some other certs (e.g. JSA) doesn't really add great value but Roger's item descriptions are usually too brief for my taste.   

The only way to make it shorter would be to remove "Page from an..."  What type of pen, ink color, when/where etc. would be nice.
