Almost looks printed or stamped. Those signatures remind me of the ones printed on the old trading cards. Could be wrong though and perhaps a secretary imitated those.

Thankyou. I guessed as much.

The Ringo signature is smudged so that's why i thought secretary.

Yes, these are facsimile signatures that also appear on the Topps trading cards.

Yup...printed on. These were also on the gum cards...the Remco Beatles dolls...posters...you name it...they were printed on hundreds of items in 1964.

I'm not doubting any of the above but just wonder why they didn't print all four signatures on one side.

I agree.  And the Ringo is smudged.

I would have guessed autopen or rubber stamped if not real, but not "printed".

Thankyou. Yes on closer inspection that are definitely not printed.

I'm guessing also stamp or autopen

Thanks for all the input
