AP5. A Green Colored Autograph Album Page
Signed By The Beatles In Late 1962
Here is a light green colored autograph album page which was
signed by all four members of The Beatles within months of Ringo
Starr joining the band in August of 1962. All four have autographed
this page very nicely, with John Lennon and George Harrison signing
in blue ballpoint. George has added “XX” following his
signature, indicating that this page was signed for a female fan.
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have signed in green ballpoint pen,
with Paul adding “THE BEATLES” in capital letters, a rare
form, as he almost always used script to write the name of the band
when he did so. This adds a nice touch, as it is always desirable
to have a band member write “Beatles” or “The Beatles”
when signing an item. Ringo has added “Love” before and
”XXX” after his signature. The signatures on this page date
from November/December of 1962, and are excellent examples from this
early period, when The Beatles were still relatively unknown
throughout most of Great Britain. The page measures 5 ¾” x 4” and
is in very good condition, having been well kept over the years…..$9,000
