I've been given these sketchy details and wondered if anyone knows how much this is worth.

1. Beatles Xmas concert programme - England Hippodrome (With a sketch by John Lennon in the programme)

2. Signed, with FALSE Beatles autographs (Will this decrease the value?)

3. Good condition

Thanks.

Who did the autographs? Was it you or a friend or was it done by a secretary like Neil Aspinall? In good condition it's probably worth about £60-70.

I think another famous name is on it - like Jimmy Savile, along with the four Beatles. My friend had it checked out, but the autographs were false.

I think my friend had it handed to someone after the concert and it came back with the signitures on.

Is it possible for you to get a photo of the signatures? I'd love to see them.

I saw a photocopy of it about a year ago and had a brief conversation about it recently. I remember I thought it was genuine, it looked so good. But apparently they are false. Whether they were written all by Jimmy Saville, or by someone else, nobody knows.

I will try to get a picture of it.

Brilliant. I'll do my best to authenticate them for you. I'm pretty good at that. :-)

Unfortunatly I cannot get a picture of the autographs on the program.

Assuming they are False, would this decrease the value of the program?

Here is a link to a same program.

Without seeing them I really couldn't say unfortunately. If they were utter pants then they probably would a little but I doubt it would by much. Even fake signatures on items can increase the value a little - it depends on how accurate they are to the genuine thing.
