Does it bother anyone else how slow all the signatures we clearly signed? Ball point pens don't lie about speed. And the McCartney is kinda strange as well as the R in Ringo, 3 different pens that all look like it was signed yesterday..... I am not an expert on vintage Beatles but I see some red flags personally. I respect Frank deeply but I wonder about this one. If the price is cheaper then market price there could be a good reason for it. I'd love to here from other who are verse in the Beatles older stuff. Beatles forgers are among the best so....

The "e" in Lennon looks kind of strange to me also.

The e in john's looks like the ed Sullivan show set that was signed.
I'm no expert but between tracks and Frank the amount of Beatles autographs they have seen over the years, I think they know what their doing.

Oh, I agree with you, Paul. If the price was right, I would get it. Tracks and Frank have stellar reputations.

I defer to those guys as well but it's worth asking them to take a closer second look given the fact that there are red flags.

Paul, In August 2009, I purchased an original drawing through Gotta Have It, Inc. (GHI) in New York City which was purported to be an original drawing by the hand of John Lennon.

Ed Kosinski, co-owner of (GHI) personally had Frank Caiazzo authenticate this drawing twice before offering it for sale, however, a subsequent ink analysis done by Speckin Forensic Laboratories scientifically determined the drawing to be an indisputable forgery. The ink used was a gel-ink first formulated after the death of John Lennon - and was not commercially available anywhere during the lifetime of John Lennon.  Frank Caiazzo was proven incorrect, the drawing is an indisputable forgery.  There was much more learned about Frank Caiazzo that is less than stellar - following an indepth seven (7) year investigation.

My suspicion all along based of irregularities of MANY signed PAUL/Beatles items.. Gotta Have it emails me all the time..what is your opinion of them in general.. they recently sold a Pink FLoyd signed by all 4 on an LP for only about 750.00 at auction...I believie a real one is 5K PLUS  I will buy ALL the P Floyd signed x 4 you have  for 750 each all day if they are real lol.. without a reserve of minimum bid one has to question how the ybare selling FLoyd complete for 750.00

Based upon the significant evidence and the indisputable forgery sold by Ed Kosinski / Gotta Have It, Inc., to me, combined with Ed Kosinski's / Gotta Have It's extremely delayed handling of my refund - I'd never consider purchasing anything from (GHI). 

Due to evidence discovered about Frank Caiazzo, every item becomes questionable and I will never trust anything associated with Frank Caiazzo, nor Ed Kosinski.

Do you think the item was sold with them knowing it was forged or do you think they were duped by a good forger? This is really the first time I have ever heard anyone questioning Caiazzo.
