It's ugly, but I'd be surprised if this McCartney didn't get the OK of the top Beatles guys.

Hello, this is Jared Mast, owner of Autographs-for-sale Ebay store. This Paul McCartney autographed was sourced through Tracks in London. I would agree it is an odd variation of his signature, but I trust Tracks more than anyone regarding Beatles & Hendrix so if it meets their standards I stand behind it 100000%. 

Also for the record, we have absolutely nothing to do with PPC. If I did it would have happened a long time ago & I wouldn't have my own store/would be doing purchasing for them.

Jared, I agree. Along with Frank Caiazzo, Tracks is one of the most trusted. Do you have a Tracks COA for this item? It isn't listed on the eBay page that it is. I think most Beatles collectors would feel more comfortable knowing it had both Tracks and PSA/DNA on it.

I agree with you. I often don't show additional LOA's on Ebay since it's essentially just myself who manages the store so it gets a bit hectic.

No problem. I can't provide a complete background on the item, but I have seen these post cards signed before & they all look similar to this. Also if someone was to forge a McCartney signature, you would only hope it's on a better medium than his sub-par artwork 3x5 postcard lol.

Glad you have nothing to do with Presspass. I have actually been to Cave creek Az twice for bird watching. Not much happening out there but beautiful country!

It looks like the upper part of the P was erased because the black marker doesn't fit the surface of the postcard. I advise to stay way from it, not because it's not authentic, but because: 1. It's not a nice autograph at all (P should be like P). 2. Other parts of the black marker may be erased in the future.

Dan what do you mean the black marker could fade or someone erase the signature.

Yes. Because the black marker doesn't fit the surface of the postcard, if you touch the marker on the postcard it may erase/fade the marker. The surface looks a little bit laminated and that's why the marker doesn't fit. It's just an assumption, I might be wrong.

This is a postcard, so the medium is card stock, it's not glossy. You cannot whip or erase sharpie from card stock as it has small paper fibers that bind with the ink, similar to a dollar bills surface.
