The Beatles Fully Group Signed 1962 Promo Photo Card (4 Sigs) (Beckett

Amazing black-and-white 1962 promotional photo card measuring approximately 5.5" x 4", signed on the reverse in black and red ballpoint pens by all four members of The Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, who inscribed "To Joyce Love" before his signature. In very good condition, with some signs of scattered wear, including slight toning, minimal staining, a small crease to the upper right corner, and softened edges, none of which detract from the signatures. The reverse also features a handwritten notation from the original recipient reading "This belongs to Joyce Tan (ONLY!)." Encapsulated and authenticated by Beckett (#00019612741), and accompanied by full Letters of Authenticity from JSA (#XX81411) and renowned Beatles autograph expert Frank Caiazzo. This exceptionally rare promotional photo card features an image taken by photographer Les Chadwick of Peter Kaye Studio in Liverpool, during a September 1962 photo session shortly after Ringo Starr joined the band. Captured in the band's hometown at the very beginning of their ascent to international fame, the photograph represents one of the earliest professional images of the now-iconic Beatles lineup. Of particular significance are the remarkably early examples of all four Beatles' signatures, dating to the formative period of the group's career, before their autographs evolved into the familiar styles associated with Beatlemania. An exceptionally rare and historically significant piece of Beatles memorabilia, uniting the complete 1962 lineup on a period promotional photo card, with the added distinction of authentication by Beckett, JSA, and renowned Beatles specialist Frank Caiazzo.
