Legit Ringo Starr and Ozzy Osbourne

Hello everyone,

I often do the same searches everyday to look for certain items. One such search i often do is for music items certed by PSA and JSA within a certain price range. You often get good deals this way, but while searching i have come across a few autographs (possibly style of autographs) that seem strange to me. I have seen at least a dozen of the following 2 signatures for sale in the last 6 months or so: Ozzy and Ringo Starr. IN each case it is the same, the signatures are encapsulated and approved by PSA. They are also always on the same type of paper (for Ringo, its old and faded paper), and always look the same. And they always start the bidding at like 10 dollars. I dont know their signatures well enough to comment, but where are they getting these endless supplies of just these 2 names. And always looking the same on the same paper. I have never payed attention to see if its the same seller as the one im posting today, but b/c of the format that is always used, i believe it is the same seller, but cant swear to it. Although i will be watching it in the future.

The following is from the ebay seller cacardshark

Here is a picture of the Ringo being offered:

And here is the Ozzy being offered from the same seller:

Interestingly, here is a very similar cut from a different seller (but it looks like the same Ringo to me):

seller: bcseh

Again, I cant say for certainty it is this seller selling these items i see all the time popping up, but it is for certain that they are originating from the same spot and always look the same. That spot they are coming from my simply be Ringo and Ozzys hand, but it just seems odd their seems to be a never ending supply of these certed by PSA.

What are your thoughts? They might well be authentic, i just see them popping up all the time each and every month, all the time slabbed by PSA, each looking the same: Ringo looking exactly like the above with same style paper and pen, and ozzy also the same. Each always starting at a low price. Maybe they are just using one photo to represent the lstings. I dont know, its just strange. Any thoughts

Thanks

Carl

Well i just looked at the 2 PSA cert numbers above for the Ringos from the 2 different sellers, and it appears they are simply using the same picture. So maybe thats all this is, is just repeat photo use. But 2 different sellers advertising the same autograph with the same PSA encapsulated item photo is a little misleading, at least to me.

Here is one from the seller

That looks extremely similar as far as style and paper. Was their a signing where Ringo signed a great deal of contracts or something of the like that these could have been cut from. I know he signed TTM for a while but this would seem to be an odd paper choice for people to send in.

The Ringo signatures look authentic to me. They appear to be on a gold plate or plaque with perforations around the edges, and there were probably several per page.
