Ringo Starr dated autographs

I was wondering if anyone had seen and/or can show a picture of a Ringo Starr autograph from the 60s that has also been dated by Ringo? I have one (it's been given the OK by Roger Epperson) and I am trying to compare date styles to see if the date was written by Starr or by A N Other, and I've drawn a blank on the wonderful web. Here's mine:Many thanks.

yes; my feeling as well. I have seen one dated before but the year was in a different position on the paper and dated differently and the 'coma' looks as if it could have been added after. I feel Mr/Ms A N Other may well be responsible for the year and 'coma' ; - but lovely piece regardless

Great find! Beatle sigs from the late 60's are highly desirable.

Thank you all for your replies and kind words. Michelle - you don't happen to have kept a pic of that other one you've seen signed?
I really don't know what to make of the date, as normally, when the receiver of the autograph dates a piece it is pretty specific (ie day, month and year sort of thing), so to just put 68' would seem abnormal, but at the same time the lighter pen pressure on the date as compared to the signature might well denote that A N Other added it.

I don't think it a huge deal that someone else has possibly added the date.

I tend to agree Paul. It's more curiosity and intrigue, did Ringo (or indeed any other Beatle in the 60s) date their autographs at all?

Unfortunately not- ; - but it was a fuller date and the positioning was different; but as others have said I don't really think it matters as its a lovely piece.

Thanks Michelle. And I do agree, the date makes no difference to value or authenticity, and maybe it's only me, but collectors curiosity makes me want to know if there are other dated 60s Ringos out there, as it wasn't until I got this piece that I thought 'Strange...I haven't seen any dated pieces before'.
