Three different Paul McCartneys - opinions please?

Greetings, all.

I have been a collector for 20+ years, and a Beatles fan for 30+.  I have thousands of autographs, and all the while, the one that has eluded me is Sir Paul.  I have tried in person, and even tried by mail back when I was a kid umpteen years ago.  Having a genuine autograph would truly mean a lot to me. 

I have three possible examples that I would love some help with.  They are all supposedly from book signings he did.  Please help me out.  I would really appreciate some knowledgeable opinions on all three.

Thanks much, and best to all,

Tom

I still think all 3 are no good.

On first look....Both of these look ok.

yes, they are.  and you are very good with Paul McC signatures.  I am normally very very cautious of Macca signatures, but I see similarities between the Yesterday sheet and the first signature.   The second one in the discussion looks spot on to me.  The third one is a little quirky, but so is the second one I posted. but i still see positives in the third one.

I am finding that Macca signatures, because of the endless variations, are almost impossible to authenticate.  But I would not rule out any of these at this point.

Ok. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, that's why this site is so good, on the 2nd one, there is a break between the a and u in Paul, this couldn't possibly be done by Paul, the 3rd is the easiest to tell.....however I totally agree, Pauls recent sigs are very hard to tell, there are tons of these "clouds" books that turn up regularly on eBay, they are almost all crap !

look closely, its not a break.  I thought the same thing but I magnified it.  its his typical ccw "loop" that sometimes is connected to the P.  but its not a break.  the rest of the signature, with the angles and spacing, looks good to me.  I do understand 1 and 3 being questionable.

Terrier, of the two you posted, I don't trust the Yesterday.

Well then I'm probably wrong. Frank's the best.

I don't think it is bad to question any autograph, no matter who authenticated it. I do agree however Caiazzo is the best.

one is Caiazzo, the other is Perry. I posted them just to show that there are quirky examples that have been authenticated by these highly regarded Beatles experts.
