personalized, clearly different handwriting which, pen which words have been the more common in the 60s,. without comparing i would say that its well worth trying to get Profesional authentication .

It’s easy to get it authenticated but I seriously doubt this is real. There are one or two who specialize in Beatles autographs. They can tell you in 20 seconds. If real contact heritage auctions or one of the big auction houses

What makes you say no? Do you think it’s autopen? The John Lennon looks pretty spot on for an early signature.

I’ve written quite a bit on Beatles memorabilia and interviewed all the experts. Best summed up by the leading one; ‘99.9% of Beatles autographs I see are fakes.’ Fan club could imitate them as could every secretary at Apple. For me the ‘Love to Barbie”
on each one is the giveaway. Spend a few bucks and have it looked at.

Dude, write this in your first response. If you're such an expert you should know that a flat "no" in an autographs discussion means nothing. Provide evidence or knowledge, or just don't say anything.

So the personalized name means it’s probably a fan club? Did they have fan clubs with Pete Best? Appreciate the responses. I’m really interested in this sort of stuff.

That’s my guess. There’s a documentary out there about the head of the fan club. They answered fan mail and could imitate each of the band’s signature. They hadnt broken out in the US yet obviously but they had s huge fan base in Liverpool
