One thing you need to know about Sir Paul is the fact that he has been signing autographs for 50 years now, and Alot of them. He does not 'run out of room' like it does here. Even in a situation where he was rushed he would not sign in this fashion. He would have written the McCartney under the Paul. He knows where to start his signature so that he can place it where it needs to be without 'squeezing'. True you will see a tiny bit here and there where he has to stop a little short, but not deliberately as shown here in the JSA card.

By the way I see the letters JSA and I am just assuming this is from them, but it also says Beckett, so I apologize if it is not JSA.

it looks like it was signed by the same person as the one in the subject

That is very true Daren.

Also believe this signature from the UK has been shown in other blogs on this site - or possibly it is just from the same supplier.

Thanks, Darren. You definitely know your stuff. However, if it is indeed a forgery, I would disagree that it's a bad one.

For comparison purposes, here's an example of a small raised "u" that more closely resembles the autograph in question:

I agree with that point - I wouldn't want it either, or at least I wouldn't pay for it. I would take it if it was given to me. You know what I mean

There is nothing odd about this Liverpool June 2003. It is a real McCartney signature. I don't think a raised U is part of the equation on the subject signature, McCartney writes his U's like this (Liverpool 2003) fairly often.
