BEATLES AUTOGRAPHS - superb set of Beatles autographs in a diary from 1963. The signatures are in pencil and were obtained in person by the vendor when she met The Beatles on a train from Darlington to Middlesbrough on the 25th June 1963. This was just days after John Paul VI became Pope and as a comical reference Paul has signed "Paul VI" - interestingly they have also signed "The Beetles". The vendor was working for the GPO in Darlington and was travelling back from work to her home in Middlesbrough when she boarded the train and found all 4 Beatles on board. Both girls obtained their signatures and sat in the same coach with them all the way to Middlesbrough where they were playing that night. The green pocket diary has been signed across 2 pages of the notes page at the back and also includes the vendors GPO work card and provisional licence which she kept there for safekeeping. Authenticated by Roger Epperson for entry to this sale.
A signed Beatles Four Aces cover, c1964, signed by Paul, John, George and Ringo on their corresponding playing card, in later frame, 25.5cm x 19cm. Provenance: Obtained directly from The Beatles by the vendors father while working as a Police Inspector. After they performed in Hull he escorted them from the venue in a Police van. It was inside the van that he asked for their signatures, which they happy did, using his own Parker ball point, however, John Lennon pocketed it instead than giving it back! The autographs are creased and rubbed because the vendors sister took them to school to show her friends and folded it to get it into her pocket. It was at this stage that the little 'A' in pencil on each card was added.
