Full Set Beatles 1964 Opera House, Blackpool

Hi guys, this complete set is not mine, I want to clarify. I showed it in other groups because I simply find it fascinating. Last weekend I went to a comic convention, and there were three stands of memorabilia, in one of them, a Ringo signature was for sale for 2 K USD, and it seemed excessive to me.

The owner saw that I knew about these topics and I showed him part of my collection in photos. Then he showed me his next acquisition, which he authorized me to share in photos. There is an inscription on the back which makes me think someone got it for their friend's daughter, and it is dated 1964 Opera House, Blackpool. He told me that he will submit it to certification and subsequent sale, I hope to tell you the outcome later.

Hi Raul,

Since it's a single sheet of paper without the backing I thought it had, I don't think we need a video. I was confused until I realized the fine dark areas were deep staining. The photos are definitely large enough—he did a great job of that!

If you want, ask the seller to join but I think that the major TPAs will approve it unless they think it's some sort of a copy, which is unlikely.

Note: I meant to say TPAs will approve it. Corrected it.

Yes, I understand that every day it is more difficult to authenticate these types of objects and with good reason, no company will compromise its reputation for a piece of paper. The seller had all his products with JSA and BAS COAs, I assume he will send them with them. In any case, thank you for this space and it will always be a pleasure for me to share everything I find along the way that is related to The Beatles, all the best Seteve.

I mean to say I think the TPAs will approve it unless they see a problem once they see it in person.

I’m not so sure about this set. It has some odd traits and ones similar to fakes that I’ve seen. False provenance?

Yes, you made your case to me and I think you're right, Ballroom.

Interesting. They would be rather advanced I suppose.

Hello, your point of view is always very interesting. Could you show me other evidence to compare, just for the purpose of learning about the topic. Thank you

Here are a couple for comparison.

Thank you very much for sharing it, are the examples you show authentic from the same period and event? Or are they cases of fakes that you have found? I just would like to understand a little better. Sometimes I would like to thank you by name because it feels a little strange to say "Thank you Ballroom"

The other two aren’t authentic in my opinion.

Oh god! What a difficult task to authenticate signatures, for me the ones you show would pass as good ones from 1963 perhaps, I will keep you up to date if this piece passes certification or not. Thank you

Thanks. No problem. Even the provenance on the back looks a bit odd, with a “Griffiths” with the “T’ looking like a crossed “H”, and the “Beatlen” or “Beatled”.
