What’s the view on this Lennon-signed (?) item?

This sold yesterday for $550; I was watching live, out of curiosity. 

Curious what you experienced folks would say about this one?

Looks like a forgery to me.

That it sold for only $550 should tell you all you need to know. Real ones go for 15 grand and up. Looks nothing like the few dozen he signed when the album came out. COA's from Christoper Morales and American Royal Arts hurt the credibility even more.

That’s a SoCal forgery.

What a shame that someone lost $550 on this

Yes, but 2 minutes research. Price, Morales, American Arts, "as is", "forensics"...

Yup...SoCal forgers...

Well, there are actually several interesting things here:
1. There are few copies of "Double Fantasy" signed by Lennon.
2. Lennon's signature from that period doesn't match the one you're showing.

3. This signature style reminds me a lot of the forger nicknamed "SoCal"; the style of the "nn" is unmistakable.

Thanks for all the responses, folks! I knew it had to be fake, but am definitely not an expert on John sigs.

Just trying to learn!  Would love a John signature, but just don’t think I could ever trust anything online, sadly.

There are a few genuine signatures for sale at RR Auctions and Iconic Auctions in the USA and the usual ones at Tracks in the UK.
