Dylan Goes Electric, Beatles Autograph & Frank Zappa Collage

Two South Carolina brothers have a pair of Beatles autographs -- a menu signed by John Lennon and a publicity photo signed by Ringo Starr -- they collected in 1964, the year the Beatles first visited America. The brothers have cherished these autographs for years but aren’t sure if they are real. Tukufu Zuberi takes on the challenge of determining whether these autographs are genuine or forged.
