The 2 or 3 fully signed Bealtes albums offered every month on CC (mostly American Capital Records releases, some of which are likely later stereo reisssues that date to after Lennon's death in 1980) are even more absurd than the sports items.
Authentic signed Beatles albums are EXTREMELY rare. I believe there are less than 30 to 50 real ones verified to exist, and most signed albums are the British parlphone release of "Please Please Me" which was released in England in summer of 1963, before they became so famous that they were totally inaccessible. Once they hit it big in America, there was no way for any ordinary fans to get access to them anymore, and few fans carried albums around with them to get signed.
When authentic copies do come up for sale, they bring prices in the 30 to 60 K range. The coach's forgeries usually sell for between 100 and 250 bucks.
