I am pleased to offer for sale this incredible of a 1966 Beatles fan-club welcome letter along with a hand-signed photograph of the four band members.
The photo-card displays a black-and-white portrait image of each of the four Beatles along with the first-name signatures of all four of the band names. Please note: these are not stamped or photocopied signatures but hand written with a biro. Please see the photographs to view the visible indentations produced from the signatures being written. 
The reverse displays states 'The Official Beatles Fan Club' and provides the contact information for the UK, Canadian and American Fan Club offices.  
The photo-card is in immaculate condition. The signatures are extremely clear, without any smudging and unblemished. The full-stop written after Paul's signature can even still be seen! There is no staining, no discolouration and no creasing. The corners are sharp and without any wear. 
Unlike the photograph the signatures and hand-writing found on the welcome letter are photocopies. Similar to the photograph, the letter is found in immaculate condition. 

I have only ever seen one other copy of this photograph in person. I'm unsure whether it was an item you had to send off for, whether it was included with some fan club memberships that opened in 1966 but not others. I don't know. The literature just isn't there. These specific items were included with the 1966 Christmas fan club flexi-disc that I am selling in a separate listing. I do not believe that it was included with all 1966 Christmas flexi-discs, though. 
On eBay there has only ever been one copy of this signed photograph sold. It sold for £920 in 2004. I have not seen any sold at auction or heard of any sell by private vendor since. This may be your only chance to purchase one!  


The item will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
Please see my other listings for other Beatles fan club rarities.
