Lady (Frankie) Crisp:
((Steve)) Wow!! Faded or not, that is fantastic!! How do you find these? You make me want to come to the UK and look! Congrats. It's a beauty.
I beleive this was a case of right place right time. I first looked at this photo about a year ago, it belonged to a guy I bought another very cheap set off, at the time he showed me this and asked what I thought, I looked and said " If you ever decide to sell it let me know" . I thought no more of it, then almost a year later he contacted me to see if I wanted it, I went along to his house to have a look, I was quite disapointed as it was more faded than I remembered ( This time I was veiwing to buy : ) if you know what I mean. We agreed a price but I was still not happy and said I would let him know in a day or so, in the mean time I had it checked out by Tracks. During the next few days, I didn't contact him as Chrismas was fast approaching and with Nappy's and baby food to buy I was saving the £££. I was strugling to place any sort of value on this item due to the very poor condition, I have seen simular photos with near perfect signatures go for almost $20,000 at times I had also contacted a company regarding resotration and enhancment of these signatures. It can be done at a cost but I have decided to get them framed as they are as they have that old look about them He rang me and greatley reduced the price, so I agreed and picked them up and paid the $$$

Well here it is It's a signed 8x10 photo, signed by all 4 Beatles, the signatures have fadded to almost nothing ( its a crying shame) However it is still a photo signed by all 4 Beatles However if they were bold I think you would be talking £7000 - £9000 at from a top auction house, as usual I think I got a bargain I will add some close up of the signatures soon. The John is signed from Ringos shoulder towards Johns collar, George has signed from Johns shoulder across to his shoulder, Paul from his left collar to his right elbow and Ringo's above his head I am in shock to now own my 4th full set of Beatles autographs, only 2 years ago I obtained my first and never thought I would own another let alone 4 Thrilled to bits to say the least Enjoy, Oh and 1 thing I will say they are slightly more visable to the eye than the camera
now steve!!!...that's enough of that!!!!! ...OMG a 4th set of Beatles autographs!!!!! man, you are so lucky in finding stuff at GREAT prices!!!! ...i thought i had a great collection, but your's definitely surpasses mine!!!! ...GOOD FOR YOU!!! after seeing that awesome set of Beatles autographs, i'm certain no one wants to see my yoko ipod & picture i got in the mail by FedEx yesterday! i hope you ALL have a superFAB day!
Jo, The I Pod is cool and I love the scarf, just like they ones the wore in Help! Jo, Do me a favour, Like myself I know you keep your eye on auctions and have a good idea of recent prices, What would you expect to have to pay at a top auction house for that set I have just bought : Just wondering what people might think it be worth, if you know what I mean??? Anyone else want to give me there opinion would be more than welcome Cheers Steve...

Thanks Steve!!!...oh and that's some story about the seller contacting you after so long! ...yeah, you're right, i'm always checking out auction houses! ...well to start, i found this one.. .it went for $2,064.65. Glossy 10 x 8 photo of all four younger Beatles, signed and inscribed on the image in blue ballpoint, ?love, Paul McCartney? and ?John Lennon,? and in green ballpoint, ?Ringo Starr,? and signed on the reverse in blue ballpoint, ?George Harrison.? In fair condition, with slight emulsion discoloration to left half of image, moderate overall creasing and wrinkling, small edge tears, surface marks, Paul?s and (especially) John?s signatures quite light and with several ?dropped? strokes leaving impressions only, and poor contrast to Ringo?s first name. They?re not signing these anymore! LOA Roger Epperson/PSA/DNA and R&R COA. As you can see, it is pretty much faded, hence the selling price. CLICK HERE FOR AN ENLARGED VERSION

here's another one! ...this one went for $3,060.68. Vintage glossy 9 x 7 photo, an early image of the neatly dressed and groomed Beatles, signed in blue ballpoint, ?Paul McCartney,? ?John Lennon,? and ?George Harrison.? In fair to good condition, with scattered light soiling, adhesive remnant touching McCartney?s head, several creases and dings to image (creases lightly touching Lennon?s and Harrison?s signatures), tack hole to top border, loss to upper right corner (affecting background only), moderate contrast to parts of McCartney?s and Lennon?s signatures, and ink just a shade light but fully legible. With proper matting and framing, this terrific image of the soon-to-become-legends will display very nicely. Track down Ringo, and then you?ll really have something to show off! LOA Roger Epperson/PSA/DNA and R&R COA. CLICK HERE FOR AN ENLARGED VERSION ...i hope these give you some perspective and helps out.

Thanks for that Jo I think these signtures a slightly better that mine, however mine has all 4 and they are all on the front, so maybe a simular value would be fair, what you think? :
-
hello again steve!!!..yes, i would think so...possibly $3,000-4,000 range considering the fact that the auction results i got those autographs from was from a year ago...and as we all know, the value of Beatles autographs go up year after year!!! ... however, if you decide to contact Frank, i'm certain your Beatles autograph set would be higher in value with his COA. ..remember, i bought a John Lennon autograph for $1,700 and he valued it at $3,500. i have to go now...but i'll continue to check for you!!!...have a happy day!! ....and for anyone else who visits here, i also hope you have a HAPPY & FAB day!

Jo thanks for your help, I can not believe I have 4 full sets on 1 peice let alone you, It was only in 2003 my wife bought me my first set when I was 30, I had always wanted one since the early 90's. I never got round to buying one as they were £500 for a signed album then, lol ( if only I knew then what I know now) As you know I also have 2 other set one signed by John and another signed by Paul, so I could count these Anyway Have a great Christmas and Newyear and to all who read this collecting thread, who have had to listern to me go on about my collecting adiction for the last year or so ( I think my wife will kill mw if I carry on) Steve...

A Very Happy Christmas to All. As well as a Healthy and Happy 2008. Hope Santa brings you some more Beatle stuff, I'm pretty sure Santa is bringing me The McCartney Years DVD. Beatlemaniac, I did get the set of 3 pins but thank you for your help. I was surprised at the Beatle Holiday cards as I have been searching the internet for Beatle Christmas cards. I did manage to get John Lennon christmas cards though. Happy Holidays everyone
