Looking for Names of Top Beatles Autographs Experts

[Archive]

Posted By: davidcycleback

The owner of a neighborhood upscale used bookstore has a book with the signatures 'Yoko Ono' and 'John Lennon' inside. Can anyone here give recommendations of Beatles autographs experts he could contact for possible LOA? Neither he nor I have an opinion on the authenticity beyond the sigs' general resemblence to others. I initially recommended he contact MatroNet, but he said they didn't return contact. Thanks in advance.

(Edited because I mispelled 'The Beatles'!)

Caiazzo's site says he not offering authentication services to the public.

The only established organization or person that I can find that says it/he will examine Beattles sigantures is PSA/DNA. If there is other expert or organization who is willing to handle book, they are more than welcome to speak up. It's not my book, I just said I would provide a local with a list of Beattles autograph experts he could contact.

You may want to contact Paul Lichter who is a good friend of a good friend of mine. Paul is one of the largest dealers of Elvis memorabilia but also is well versed with the Beatles and in fact knew them personally. He has dealt with Beatles autographs which he had gotten signed personally. Whether he is technically an autograph expert I don't know but if not I imagine he could steer you in the right direction.

His website is http://www.elvisunique.com/

Steven Raab is one of the most reputable autograph authorities out there. Don't let the historical title fool you. He is also an expert on Beatles autographs and used to collect them. If he can't help you, he knows someone who can.

I know I'm changing gears a bit, but as long we have this thread on the Beatles, has anyone else on the board ever seen them in person? I attended two Beatles concerts- On September 20, 1964 at the Paramount Theatre in NYC; and on August 23, 1966 at Shea Stadium.
I also saw in the paper today that one of the original Quarrymen died the other day- Eric Griffiths, who played with John and Paul from 1957-58 before leaving the band. I'm a bit of a Beatle historian, so the obit was of interest to me.

Bill says he will likely remove the thread (I'm not arguing, as it is off topic), and just want to thank the posters for the input. I will pass along the info to the guy with the book.
