SEPTEMBER 1963 UK Official Beatles Fan Club Promotional Photo CARD,
AUTOGRAPHED ON THE PHOTO SIDE BY THE BEATLES.

FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES MOST PROUDLY OFFERS an EXQUISITE, complete set of all four Beatles signatures on the front PHOTO SIDE OF a SEPTEMBER 1963 UK Official Beatles Fan Club Promotional Photo CARD. measuring 5½" X 4¼", IT features THE fabulous black and white Dezo Hoffmann shot from that infamous JULY 1963 photo session.

THE FOUR SIGNATURES, IN MATCHING DARK BLUE BALLPOINT, DATE CIRCA LATE 1963, AND are BEAUTIFULLY AND BOLDLY EXECUTED BY THE BEATLES ON THE PHOTO SIDE OF THE FAN CLUB CARD. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE CARD HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND PROPERLY STORED OVER THE YEARS. IT REMAINS IN BRILLIANT NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE BEATLES' SIGNATURES DISPLAY CRISPLY and boldly OVER 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 photo card 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 photo cards are indeed rare and desirable and are certainly appreciating nicely, as are all authentic signed Beatles pieces."

The reverse of the Promotional Fan Club photo IS EQUALLY IN FANTASTIC CONDITION - AND displays the Official Fan Club logo, together with the London Beatles Fan Club address.

BEING ONE OF THE NICEST OF THE AUTHENTIC BEATLES SIGNED PROMO CARDS IN EXISTENCE, IT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY FRAMED IN CLASSY BLACK WOOD, AND MATTED IN A RICH AND LUXURIOUS "INDIGO" BLUE WITH SAME COLOR FLOORING.
