THE BEATLES' SIGNATURES DISPLAY BOLDLY
BESIDE OR UPON EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE IMAGE :

According to
FRANK CAIAZZO
the world's most respected
Beatles Autograph expert :

"Cards containing photographs of The Beatles which were made by NEMS Enterprises,
Parlophone Records or The Beatles themselves were often signed by the four members
of the group and given away in small quantities.
Now they are extremely rare and very desirable, as few have actually survived intact.
In September of 1963, The Official Beatles Fan Club produced a new photocard
which contained one of the classic Dezo Hoffmann "seated collarless suit poses"
from their July photo session. The vast majority of these cards were signed by
the fan club secretaries and sent through the mail to members. The Beatles road manager
Neil Aspinall signed a good number of these cards while the band was on tour in late 1963
and throughout 1964. However, some cards have turned up which have been authentically signed
by John, Paul George and Ringo - but they are quite rare.
That was the last promo card issued. Signed promotional photocards are
indeed rare and desirable and are certainly appreciating nicely,
as are all authentic signed Beatles pieces."

the Official Fan Club logo, together with
the London Beatles Fan Club address :
