Press Release
ItsOnlyRockNRoll.com is pleased to announce that their June 2 Catalog and Online Auction of 1500 items is now available for viewing on the website featuring an impressive array of Authentic Autographs.
Authentic autographs are a rare commodity in the marketplace, with many forgers selling product online and in high end stores that claim legitimacy.

King, Rick James, The Ramones, and even estranged couple Ike & Tina Turner.
The most valuable and most desirable musical autographs continue to be the Beatles, which makes it ripe for fraud, and many people have been unsuspectingly buying fraudulent signatures.

Most of the copy accompanying each lot was composed by Frank as well.
Frank has invested, literally, thousands of hours to the study of Beatles handwriting since 1986 and, since that time, has assembled a massive personal reference archive of Beatles signed material (both authentic and forged.) Major auction houses worldwide have taken advantage of his unparalleled expertise.
