Beatles Autographs at Auction

An autograph auction at Colwyn Bay, North Wales was estimated to bring in £200-£300. The collection went for £3,500.

The auction included some of the most popular performers of the 1960s. The autographs were collected by John Rees during the time that he worked on Thank Your Lucky Stars. He used the autographs as payment on his account at a delicatessen near the studio.

The Beatles appeared on Thank Your Lucky Stars in January 1963. They signed the book at their second appearance on February 17, 1963.

Why George Harrison Forged Beatles Autographs

Seems George Harrison might have been the best at forging the autographs of the Beatles. Read the story here:

Why George Signed for the Other Beatles

Ringo Starr Says No More Autographs

Ringo's a little grouchy lately. He says he won't be signing any more autographs through the mail, and anything sent to him after October 20th will be trashed. From a video on his website:

"This is a serious message to anyone watching my message right now, peace and love! Please after the 20th October do not send fan mail to any address that you have, nothing will be signed. I'm warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. No more fan mail and no objects to be signed. Nothing."

Ringo issued an apology for his attitude on October 20th, but he's still not signing.

In July 1996, I sent an index card to Ringo's home address and it was returned with a signature. I filed it away in one of my albums, sometimes coming across it and always wondering if a member of the legendary Beatles had actually took the time time to sign it. Guess he did.

Wish I had sent a CD.
