Worthless without a letter of authenticity if you ask me. Too many counterfeits in the world, especially when it comes to autographs.

Although it comes with a certificate of authenticity, I would be very dubious about buying any autographs on eBay without an independent assessment.

It was not signed during the Beatles career that's for sure!, Blue felt pen, Paul's signature has changed a lot over the years, I saw a web page once that showed the difference between the Beatles years signatures and ones during the 70's and 80's, during the Sixties a lot of the autographs were actually done by Mal Evans, Neil Aspinal and members of the Beatles fan club, I'll try and see if I can find the site.
On the topic of Beatles autographs I had a photograph with John's Paul's and Ringo's on, my mum had got the signatures when they played nearby in 1963! I sold it in 1994 for £1,250, I used the money as part of a family once in a life time holiday, do I wish I had it now?, the question is how long do you keep these things for? I've got Paul's from his gig in Liverpool in 1990, won't part with that, I've got one from a dealer friend of mine which needs to be looked at which is of John in 1974 but It's locked up just in case its the real deal!!

A full set of autographs is the one thing missing from my collection. I think the question of how long you keep these things is subjective - do you have any regrets about selling it?

I suppose I do in a way, but as I said how long do you keep these things for?, if an opportunity arises and you need some money, I used the cash well and we all enjoyed a fabulous holiday with the money together with a little bit of cash from my Gran who passed. If I had kept the autographs until I was an old man and sold them it would not have been the same. I suppose to keep them for my childrens future would have been the next best thing. But are they worth more now John and George have passed, will they be worth more when all The Beatles are nol onger here? I think the prices will stay, it's hard to tell. Still got the others though, I think Paul's is worth around £150 at the moment!. I've got some friends who had their guitars signed by Paul at the same time, I did'nt have mine with me at the time pity!!
