The Beatles: Vintage Signed UK Prototype
The Beatles: Vintage Signed UK Prototype Poster (1963). Original 1963 English prototype poster, 17.25 x 22, featuring a terrific set of four concert images capturing each Beatle in the midst of a performance, beautifully signed by all four on their corresponding images. A magnificent set of autographs, each Beatle has beautifully signed in blue ballpoint ballpoint ink (with the exception of McCartney who signs in black), "Love to Susan, Paul McCartney, xxxx," "To Jane love from John Lennon xxx," "To Sue love you George Harrison xxx," and "To Sue love from Ringo Starr xxx." On the reverse of the poster are signatures of some of the the opening acts for this concert tour. The poster was signed during the Beatles' Autumn Tour starting November 1, 1963, which included their now famous Royal Command Performance in front of the Queen Mother on November 4th. Many Beatles aficionados will immediately recognize the importance of this item, that The Beatles seldom signed any images that featured them with their instruments, primarily due to the fact that most of their publicity photos feature them in studio and non-musical poses. Presently, there are only a handful of vintage group signed items featuring images of the band with their instruments, and this item holds the incredible distinction of being the only known signed poster showing the entire band with their instruments. Furthermore, this poster stands in impeccable condition, with no folds or creases and virtually no evidence of wear whatsoever. Undoubtedly a museum quality piece given its quality and content, the incredible rarity and collectability of this item cannot be overstated! From The Tom Fontaine Music Memorabilia Collection. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
