Highly sought-after 1963 Star Pics promotional postcard of the Beatles posing in their classic gray collarless suits, measuring 5.25 x 3.5, postmarked Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, August 16, 1963, and signed beautifully on the reverse in blue ballpoint by John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr. The postcard is nicely matted and framed with an image of the Beatles to an overall size of 14.5 x 18.25; the backing has a window for viewing the front of the postcard. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, which reads, in part: "These signatures date from August 30, 1963, and were obtained in Liverpool, England during the filming of The Mersey Sound, a documentary produced for BBC television. This Star Pics postcard features the Dezo Hoffman 'standing collarless pose,' which is one of the most recognizable images of The Beatles. These do not surface often signed by The Beatles, and thus this item is quite desirable."
