In my opinion, the George Harrison signature is authentic and the other three are in the hand of Beatles road manager Neil Aspinall. Nice item.

I agree with Ballroom...George looks really good but all other three are fake and look like Aspinall's work.

If, I were wanting to sell this, how would I go about that?  Very disappointing.  Seems weird that one would be real.

agree with Ballroom on the George signature being authentic.  He is probably correct on the Aspinall, although I am not well versed in the proxy signers for the Beatles.

Yes, genuine George and the rest are by Neil.

Thank you for you for all your opinions.  It seems unanimous.  Can anyone guess the value with the one authentic signature?  Thank you again.

It will sell for the most authenticated, which in most cases means you'll need to cut it from the photo. If you do, don't cut it close. Cut it as big as possible--just separate it from Paul and Ringo. The party you sell it to can then cut it as needed to mount and frame if they want to.

Authenticated, I think it would sell in the $750-$900 range. Authentication is $50-$100, depending on the service.

Unauthenticated, probably $650-$750.

I believe a piece like this shouldn't be cut.
It's still an 'historic' item in my opinion.

Not to mention that Bonnie's dad is on the front - that might be the only image of him with them? It could be copied, the front, but I'd keep it together for several reasons. If I wanted the George I'd want the whole thing anyway. Not sure what happens to the others if the George is removed -  here they have context.

Exactly. Aspinal signing for three probably didn't happen often (and ideas?). Aspinal wasn't doing it for monetary reason but in a misguided effort to try to please fans that the Beatles OK.d. Perhaps it represents an innocent time in rock history

Actually Neil signatures are quite common in sets along with genuine autographs. I think he just signed for whoever wasn't there at the time as well as doing complete sets himself.
