Posted By: <b>Larry</b><p>As we first mentioned, there are tens of thousands of signed Rock N Roll Memorabilia Albums and Photos(we had bought some) that are blatant mass produced fakes.<br /><br />We have been fortunate to see some vintage signed beatles memorabilia with multiple COA's including Frank C. Once you see the copies side by side, you can distinguish the real from the fake as long as the period signed is similar. Lennon's signature and Ringo's changed drastically over time but there is no doubt that the pieces that are forensically authenticated by above mentioned, differ and could possibly be deliberate and decently created for public sale.<br /><br />If you own a signed album with "sharpee" or multi colored (pen and color ink)signatures of Hendrix, Lynryd Skynryd, Doors, Joplin etc., plus the Beatles, good chance that these are fake. The only real way you can get a good bearing is to send the item to three or four different "experts" and if ALL agree it is no good, the percentages are they are not.
