Beatles Signed Newspaper Photo

Currently on auction at Fieldings in the UK is this signed newspaper clipping. Too many things wrong with these IMO. Any other opinions?

I THINK that it MIGHT good. Late Feb-early March 1963?

All fakes. Each one is a terrible amateurish scribble. Thumbs down.

I also think these might be good. The John and Paul definitely look consistent with early examples I've seen. George and, particularly Ringo, are pretty rough but still might be okay. I think Ringo's first name looks okay but "Starr" is a real mess. This could be due to rushing or the signing surface - this is only a newspaper clipping so likely wasn't signed with the upmost care.

Did they sign this on a solid backing?...or did they use their hands to hold the photo?

I saw these a couple of days ago, on the auctioneers website, I think they look good, early 63.

I think they're real, too.

I’ve seen this one before and also think they’re likely authentic.

While still skeptical, I see the rational of your reasoning. It was the George that threw me, then Paul's truncated scrawl.

It's always good to be cautious.

Steve, usually I am and if so, I withhold judgement. It's rare that I let something sneak by - but this appears to be one.

Jim, I didn’t mean to be cautious before you say how you feel. I meant that it’s always good to be cautious before you decide a piece is real.

That's what I originally meant, whether those signatures were real.

I suppose both statements have validity, however, and are worthy of reflection.
