Autograph Live's first Band-Signed Beatles Album Census was in 2011.

Our second was in 2016. (A few were added to it since then.)

It's 2025—time to update it!

Let's add what we know has been discovered since 2016, and make sure nothing was missed or duplicated in the 2011 and 2016 ones. 

We'll start a separate price census too.

Once we're comfortable with the information we have, we'll formalize the census so collectors and dealers worldwide cab make better decisions on Beatles album sales and purchases.

These are the results of the 2016 census:

Please forgive me if this is a double post. I am posting pics of a signed album cover of "A Hard Day's Night'. I am also including pics of a Letter of Provenance and Authenticity [signed by Beatles "expert" Frank Caiazzo]. To my knowledge, I am the 3rd owner of this album.
