I agree, a bit steep IMO, but a cool item and worth a significant premium for its history.

There are a number of band-signed Meet the Beatles albums signed for Dr. Jules Gordon, who treated George for a sore throat before they played on the Ed Sullivan Show for their first US appearance. They've sold for high-5 figures to $125,000-ish. I'd rather have one of those.

The ticket with that number was sold by Heritage Auction galleries in 2014. The autographs shown here have nothing to do with that ticket! The ticket shown may be a photocopy.

I own ticket #638.

Here is a link the story behind tickets #637, 638, and 639:

The piece came from Frank. The new seller added all that new stuff.

Wrong year photo, too.

If you're going to all the trouble & expense of mounting these classic signatures, why not make them period-correct?!?
