It does look like some type of enhanced copy of an authentic set of signatures. Bizarre.

This is strange, the same paper are on sale on a site over here in Sweden. So a guess would be that they are copies?

I agree that looks like the same item I posted here.  A customer of mine asked me if I thought they were real but did not mention they were for sale in Sweden.

Just for fun can you check with your customer where the paper he asked you about came from? It would be intresting to see if they are the same.

Are they from a seller in Norrköping, Sweden? If so it's the same seller who have the ones (Ringo, Paul and Elvis) I am asking about. I am new to Beatles and Elvis. But the same seller had a Lennon that most likely was no good.

I have no idea. A customer asked me for some help and since I have no idea on Beatles, I thought I might get some help here.

I mentioned that these do not represent typical Beatles signatures for the time period mentioned in the listing (1968-69).

here is an example from 1969

They do look good, admittedly, but the point is if they are copies, avoid. The very fact you're asking means you have doubts. My advice is avoid. 

The Beatles are one of the most desirable autograph sets in the world and I'd possibly give up my collection today in exchange for the 'holy grail' of autograph collecting but on the other side of the coin, I love my collection. 

Go through a site called Tracks in the UK. I hear they have a superb reputation - there are also as has been stated, a few experts in the Beatles field, too. 

I just have the one Beatles autograph - Paul McCartney. By far the toughest to get is John and following that, George. Ringo can be got quite cheap.

These don't look authentic anyways. Any 1968-69 set I have seen is a hurried, abbreviated and messy set. Too scripted. Ringo looks bad and haven't seen a George that looks like that (breaks after the r's) since early 63. Paul's P should have a natural transition (likely visible in 68-69) to the a.  John's lacks any soul and the spacing between the double n in Lennon is odd. My opinion.
