Fab Four 1969

Hello Everyone,

"Never say never" never rung more true for me than today, as I have decided to see if I can get some decent money for my precious 1969 Beatles signatures.

I have posted on this website before, back in 2010, just to share my prized possession. I saved the ensuing conversation as an image, which I am attaching to this post.

I was wondering what would be the best way to go about selling these and especially if I would need to obtain any further authentication done before moving forward with it.

Also, since I am not a collector per se, I would need some serious advice on how to handle a possible sale when it comes to the shipping and payment aspects of it.

Any and all comments are very welcome and much appreciated. Any questions that anybody might have, I will answer to the best of my ability.

Looking forward to your comments, suggestions, opinions, questions...

Thanks!

Jay (Ontario, Canada)

looks as if the scotch tape was restored and the bleeding of the blue pen erased. I compared you 2010 upload and the recent pic

The description says that it has undergone no restoration in anyway.

Thanks very much for letting me know! Very interesting to see how my signatures are continuing their journey. Yes, these are indeed the signatures that I owned until the end of last year. But I did not sell them on eBay, rather I sold them privately to a collector that assured me they would forever be a treasure in their collection... I guess they must have changed their mind!

As to the differences you see in the separate scans: I myself, as well as the person that purchased them from me noticed these differences as well. I can only attribute it to different scanners and software being used to save the images. The signatures were definitely never restored or retouched in any way shape or form.

Thanks for sharing this information, I appreciate it!

Cheers,
Jay

The buyer will be shocked when he recieves them because they look different in Perrys photo.

Looks like the scans on eBay were pretty accurate. It occurred to me that my initial scan of the autographs (long before 2010; I had the scan on file) was made while they were sitting in a plastic cover (red back, transparent front). I'm thinking that the plastic may have been responsible for the 'ghosting' and the seemingly somewhat intensified coloring.

Cheers,
Jay

I couldnt believe how much they fetched from the auction.
Were you suprised?

In my estimate it might have been a bit higher than what was generally assumed to be the value of this item, but then it's all 'in the eye of the beholder' as the cliche goes.

Additionally, they would have had to incur the cost of authentication, eBay and PayPal fees, whereas my sale was not burdened by any of that.

I will leave the disclosure of my final reaping at the discretion of the purchaser.

Jay
