Description
The Beatles autographs - Twist and Shout, hand signed Candie Gardens programme and other Pop Memorabilia - Guernsey Interest, a collection of rare pop memorabilia collected by Ivan Robert of 'The Roberts Brothers', the well-known Guernsey vocal duet, including a full set of The Beatles' autographs, signed in black pen on a facsimile photo pasted down in a concert programme, 'Baron Pontin, Presents, THE TOP "POP" SHOW, AT CANDIE GARDENS'; together with two related newspaper clippings, the first from the Guernsey Evening Press and Star, Weekender, dated Saturday, 13th February 1988, the headline, 'Robert Brothers take a trip down memory lane', the second from the Weekender, dated Saturday, 8th August 1998, titled '"Beatlemania" Roberts Brothers were on the bill'; plus other autographed memorabilia including a Candie Gardens programme signed by Gerry and the Pacemakers; and autographed Candie Gardens programme by Billy 'J' Kramer; a black and white postcard of Ivan and Bonny, The Robert Brothers, signed on reverse by 'The Dakotas'; a 'Freddie and the Dreamers' concert poster, Candie Auditorium, together with a Freddie and the Dreamers autographed pocket card handkerchief; a signed souvenir card from 'Musical Marie'; an autographed 'Elkie Brooks' photograph; and a 'Barron-Knights' card. * Provenance: Ivan Robert of 'The Robert Brothers'. ** The Beatles concerts were shown at 7pm and 9.15pm on Thursday 8th August, 1963 at the Auditorium Candie Gardens. The Roberts Brothers were one of the support acts on the day. Ivan and his brother 'Bonny' Roberts met The Beatles back stage and both passed around the programme and a black pen for them to sign. Ivan recalls that they signed the two programmes standing up and with nothing to lean on, whilst surrounded by a large crowd of fans, making the signing very difficult. 'Bonny's' programme was sold at auction approx. eleven years ago, realising a hammer price of £3800.

these stories are like Pinochio's nose.   The longer the story, the worse the forgery.

Just finished writing yo the auction house - will post their reply if I get one.

Hello, despite the interesting story on how and where the Beatles autographs were obtained you really should get them authenticated by an expert third party. I would say they are the most pathetic forgeries I have seen in a long time. And trust me I have seen many many forgeries. The fact that the story tries to cover up these forgeries by indicating the Beatles signed this while standing up which is why they are so bad is laughable. Please check with Paul Wane at Tracks or Stephen Maycock at Bonhams and don’t be fooled into selling this crap!!! Best regards, Len

Ivan recalls that they signed the two programmes standing on their heads and with nothing to lean on, whilst surrounded by a large herd of elephants, making the signing very difficult.

Wow. Those are garbage. Or, as the Brits say 'what a load of shite.' Sadly, the farther we travel from those days, the more ridiculous the signing stories. And I've found, unfortunately, that many auction houses could care less about authenticity - in favor of the bottom line. Phantasmagorical signing stories coupled with mock COAs seem to serve their purpose in ensuring a huge payday. Let's hope your letter does the trick.
