Beatles memorabilia attracts the attention of many fans, who are sometimes ready to pay any sum of money in order to get what they want. Fans are undoubtedly interesting and at the same time very passionate. Some of them are prepared to sacrifice anything to achieve the goal of owning genuine Beatles Memorabilia. Finding genuine Beatles autographs is not easy as they are probably the most widely forged signatures from the 20th century. The aim of this article is to focus on the solo years. The article is intended for both collectors and dealers.
This study will not detail the way the Beatles did their signatures. It will not state, "John never did an 'l' that way" or "George never lifted his hand off his signature attaching the 'e' to the 'h'. This article will avoid statements like that because there are always exceptions to the rule. With authentication, it is impossible to be 100% accurate as we are only human.
As with any forgery, the signature tends to show hesitation. This is a sure sign of someone's effort to copy an autograph from a known source. Because authentic Beatles autographs are fairly expensive, use caution when purchasing items that appear to be a good deal. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't authentic.
Hopefully, this study has served as a good education on autographed Beatles memorabilia. Items signed by the band have gone up in value every year. In the past a set of Beatles autographs on a page were valued at $400. Today that same set is worth at least $5000. The four boys from Liverpool have made their mark on history and are the greatest music phenomenon from the past 100 years. They have influenced nearly everybody in some way. Just make sure you do your homework before spending your hard earned money on a piece of Beatles signed memorabilia.
From late 1961 to 1963 the Beatles were emerging from their teens. In August of 1962 the Beatles replaced their drummer Pete Best with Ringo Starr. Autographs from this time are not quite as polished as they were later in 1963, and most are dedicated (signed to someone). Their signatures varied considerably as they became accustomed to providing autographs to their growing fan base. Consequently, comparing examples from this period can be very confusing. Items that can be found from this period include Beatles page signed from the cavern club, a Beatles Promo card signed including new band member Ringo Starr. To meet the demand for Beatles autographs, their fan club secretaries would sign and send out cards and letters. Each day, they received hundreds of letters and autograph requests. This means there are lots of fake signed fan club cards which have been signed by the club secretaries. So beware, not all is what it seems!!!
