And that's only IF you saw it signed itself, not by taking the word of someone who said they got it themselves. We can only be 100% accurate on autographs we saw signed in-person ourselves. But by carefully authenticating based on our experience, skill, research, and by consulting others who know the artist's autograph well, we can authenticate with a high degree of accuracy. It’s simply not possible, no matter how hard we try. Nobody can ever be 100% accurate 100% of the time when authenticating autographs. The item actually being authentic is the only thing that truly makes it so, and I do the best I possibly can to be as accurate as possible.Įveryone in our chosen field has the responsibility to do our best to put all of our experience and expertise into use when examining any signed item, whether claimed to be signed by the Beatles or anyone else. Not mine, not yours, not anyone's, period-no matter how respected they are. No dealer's or authenticator's letter of authenticity makes an autograph authentic. It’s literally the best I can do since I do not witness the signing of an item in most cases.

That is why I have always backed up everything I sell with a complete lifetime guarantee of authenticity. Those who do know me know that I care very much about the authenticity and integrity of every item I sell, autographed and otherwise. Being in business for 38 years will do that if you try the best you can to do what is right. Many if not most collectors of Beatles autographs, records, and memorabilia either know me, know of me, or have at least heard about me. Over the many years, I’ve offered hundreds of items signed by the Beatles, both as a group and solo.

It’s not rocket science, it's basic common sense in protecting your fun and your investment at the same time. It’s what this site is all about and to put it in plain language, it’s a good filtering place.Įvery autograph we own or have owned that was not signed in front of us in person was purchased solely based on our opinion and likely the supporting opinions of others, to the point where we feel comfortable owning and investing in it. It’s clear you care about authenticity and you should voice concern anytime something strikes you as odd, or not consistent with what you feel is authentic. I respect everyone's opinion as well about anything signed or reportedly signed by any or all members of the Beatles, whether I agree with their assessment or not. I’ve heard good things about Autograph Live and I support it. Hello to everyone, and thanks to the moderators for allowing me to become a member of this fine community.
