Elvis and Beatles - real or fakes??

Hello!

A seller have offered me these autographs. The story is that he has decided to sell all autographs that he has collected over 40 years. He has A LOT of top names so it seems to good to be true...

But I thought I could at least ask you guys (and girls) what you think!

Good or bad??

Thanks!

Elvis is definitely not good in my opinion.

Thanks Eddie and Steve! Any opinion on Beatles?

I also just got a mail from the seller there he says that he bought the Elvis from Sweden and the Beatles from the UK. But at least for my untrained eye it seems like these are written with the same type of pen and on the same type of paper...

What do you think of this?

They also look like they were freshly signed the day before yesterday.

Thanks AB and thanks again Steve!

I will soon get more pictures from this seller, for example Neil Armstrong, Sinatra and MJ. I will post them here too, but there is for sure something very "fishy" going on here...

Here are pictures of his Michael Jacksons and his Frank Sinatra. The Neil Armstrong had he given to a friend...

That do you think?

The Jacksons are better attempts...but still not good enough in my opinion.

Without examining it in person one couldn't say for sure BUT all 3 brown paper forgeries appear to all be on the same paper. The first 2 which apparently came from different countries has the same faded edge wear. And the Sinatra is on the same paper.

Meaning it seems you stumbled on the "source" of these comical forgeries since none of the stories line up.
