Beckett Authenticated John Lennon Secretarial Signature In the Hand of Neil Aspinall
This item is currently on eBay. The signature was cut from a photo that Neil signed on John’s behalf. As you can see, Beckett has somehow authenticated it as a genuine John Lennon signature.

Here’s an example of the same photo that the signature was cut from. This one was also signed on John’s behalf by Neil.

Beckett, JSA, and PSA are the only COAs generally regarded as trustworthy by the majority of autograph collectors. Stay away from anything else. Not in this case.

This is comical and sad - and infuriating.

You can’t even email them to make them aware of the mistake. The emails are ignored.

Authenticators who pitch their credentials as high as Beckette does. Should own their mistakes not ignore them.

Don't know if anything will or can be done but I sent Steve Grad a msg about this fake. I know he no longer works for Beckett and now has his own enterprise going. We'll see if he responds with anything.

Thank you, Steve. I wasn’t aware of that. I hope you hear back from him considering that the seller is asking $3,500 OBO.

I may be wrong about his leaving "Beckett" (can't remember where I saw that) but here's an article saying he left PSA/DNA.

He's been selling on his new ebay site Grad Collectibles:
