Elvis and Beatles are these real?

Dear all

I came across these two from a seller over here in Sweden. I am a beginner on Elvis and Beatles. Selling price are about 1700 usd for the Elvis and around 700 usd for the Paul and Ringo. So can any of you please comment on these? Thanks in advance Ulf.

I don't know about the Elvis, but the Paul and Ringo autographs look good to me.

Hi Ulf.....

Don't know about the Beatles, but I believe that the Elvis Presley one is not authentic.

I would reach out to Roger Epperson here on the site who is an expert on both.

Good Luck

The Elvis doesn't look any good to me.

Thanks Brick!

I will not go for this one since, I'm not confident with neither the autograph and the seller.

I have been in contact with the seller and he claim that it's real for sure. The COA says it's examined by a dr. Allen Ridwell a member of "The American Institute of Forensic Examiners". My doubts is this is the same person as Al Radwill from Guaranteed Autographs, who just use a different name?

Can anybody comment on this. Thanks in advance

Ulf, the Beatles SP look good, but I think it may be a scanned reprint. If you buy it, go through eBay AND PayPal, so you have a guaranteed return...even if you have to pay the eBay fees. Don't buy it with PayPal alone. You don't get much protection with it off eBay. But no matter what, I'd get a high-resolution scan that isn't mushy like this one first and maybe you'll get more input.

The Elvis looks kinda close but no cigar and the photo doesn't look 40+ years old. Get Roger on it, though.

I was thinking the same thing about the Beatles SP possibly being a reprint, especially considering the price. If authentic, I would jump at the chance to pay $700 for it.

Thanks Steve

To me the Paul and Ringo look better. The COA from dr. Allen Ridwell was for the Elvis.

Although I get a bit worried when you guys talk about scanned prints. Since I did post a comment on another Beatles over here. Where a guy got a question about a Beatles paper that was also on a site over here in Sweden. To me it was not clear if the US question was about the same one or that it was just two prints... To me those Beatles looked a bit too good and organized and if there are two of them....

Thanks
