The Beatles 1963 Sheffield Autographs

Hello all. It's my first post, so please be gentle.

This autograph book page set was lot number 75 from the 23 November 2014 Tracks Auction which featured the sale of John Lennon’s Gretsch 6120 guitar. It came with a signed Tracks Auction COA from Paul Wane and a signed letter of provenance from its then owner. It was signed in Sheffield during one of The Beatles appearances there in “1963/1964”. In comparing the signatures’ styles to credibly authenticated dated sets, I believe this set to have been signed at their Azena Ballroom appearance of 2 April 1963. I managed to get a quality close up of the actual page when I recently had it reframed (20” V x 20.25” H). I am quite pleased with the results. Any thoughts and input are welcome.

The set looks great, and Tracks is top-notch.

Thank you Steve. I wanted a full set for a long time. I did quite a lot of research before I felt confident enough to actually make the purchase. This site and its experts were very helpful during the process. So, thanks very much for that.

Tracks is fine...been buying from them since the mid 1990's. This was on their website...nice set. Nice framing job as well...

It’s a great set, but I think it would have looked better if the whole page was shown. It still looks nice though.

Maybe some genuine Beatles' sweat on the George - adds to the item I think. Great contrast too. If you're going to display it keep it out of strong light and give it a rest from display now and again. I don't think blue biro is so sensitive to light but the colours of the ink and the autograph page will change over time if exposed to light.
