Very Clean, Exceptional Postcard with the Beatles Autographs  — With COA by Beatles Expert Frank Caiazzo

Very attractive Fan Club photo card with The Beatles autographs; “Paul McCartney,” “George Harrison,” “John Lennon” and “Ringo Starr.” Each man signed his name in red ball point pen near his respective image. Photocard features a black and white photo of the Beatles, playfully posed circa 1963, and is in very good condition, unusually so for a card signed by all the band members. Official Fan Club signed cards are quite rare, as secretaries would often sign them them in lieu of the Fab Four themselves. Light spot of discoloration above Paul McCartney’s image and creasing to corners. The ink in Paul’s name also ran out as he was signing so the “tney” is not readily visible. Paper and tape residual to verso from being affixed to a photo album. Overall an exceptional, clean piece. Measures 5.5″ x 4.25″ With Frank Caiazzo COA certifying that the Beatles autographs are authentic.  Sold for $8,400.
