<p>What I think happened is he stopped putting that on some letters after he was sued 15 or so years ago. Maybe now he only includes it on letters accompanying items he sells. I do have a bunch of letters on items he didn't sell me that include the guarantee, but they all are older letters. And I just got a letter from him 2 months ago and it has your blurb up above here, with 36 years instead of 24 years.</p>

<p>He actually doesn’t include that wording on all of his letters. Here’s an example:</p>

<p>In my opinion it just appears to be a generic letter he wrote up, meaning he didn't necessarily sell the item. Who knows. He may have just been playing the odds. Back then at an event where all the Beatles were present a fan was much more likely to have a promo card on hand vs. a regular photo of themselves. In general sellers don't remove signed items from frames. And mainly for this type of reason here. A big surprise could be waiting on the other side. Either it is not what you expected…</p>

<p>The small news clipping seems to be describing Ringo Starr who used to own a Ford Zodiac Zephyr automobile. The top of the article is flipped up to reveal the image of the photograph. The article does have the month of his birth wrong, however.</p>

<p>Frank likely authenticated the signatures from a photo and assumed it was a promo card or was told it was a promo card. Obviously not sent to him by the original owner.</p>

<p>I find it pretty odd that Mr. C didn't bother to open the frame before selling it as a signed promo card. I actually prefer the uniqueness of the private photo but I don't know what "the market" would say. I presume that a signed promo card would generally be thought to be more desirable.</p>

<p>I can't say I'm too impressed with the way the photo has been mounted to whatever support it is on. Hopefully those big white tapes are archival and removable.The vintage clear adhesive tape is also not the best archival-wise but I assume it would have bled through to the signed side by now if it were ever going to. Best to leave all the original tape/newspaper etc. well alone.</p>
