Something's telling me at the back of my mind to avoid - I wouldn't buy it, personally. Just don't like the way the signature flows, but I am no Beatles expert, but am familiar with George's autograph.

Best to pick up a Harrison from a recognised Beatles collector/specialist, then you're 99.9% guaranteed to pick up a real one.

My Best,

Robin

No good. From the looks of the "g's" it MIGHT be Neil Aspinall's handwriting.

Furthermore, if you're looking to buy a decent acquisition, best to go through a dedicated Beatles specialist because at least then, you can rest at night, knowing you have a real piece. Beatles memorabilia is hard to obtain genuinely as well. Its a tough market out there! But if you know where to look....

This comes from a Lelands Auction (signed book). They are a major auction house but mostly deal in sports memorabilia. Would like to hear more about this one....

I don't know if their reputation is reputable or not, but I'd suspect if it is, then every once in a while, even honest dealers can let one or two bad ones slip through. No dealer is irrefutable.
