Do you think these autographs are legit?

I'm no handwriting analysis expert but if they aren't legit they look like good forgeries to me. Another tack to test legitimacy would be to have the paper verified as to its age.

Is there a story to go with these autographs and how they came to be acquired ?

I'd say legit.... but its hard to say.... some fakes are easy to spot and some are not. Check out:

and the suggestion to get the paper dated is a good idea.

Anywhere from 65 to 90 percent of Beatles autographs circulating are fake.

My mother found this on the sidewalk while shopping in Manhattan with her mother in the summer of 1964.

That is an amazing story! Talk to Mike Gutierrez, he may be able to help.

They look real to me. In my local music store in Toronto, there is a display of real beatles autographs and they look very similar

They are actually pretty bad forgeries or secretarial signatures.
