Approaching critical mass.

We already have so much stuff in for this year's auction that we are sorry to announce that unless your item is something extremely rare or unique we are unable to accept else into this year's event. 

Time at the auction is limited and therefore we only take in a certain number of items and we are only a few items away from that number.

Valuations are still available and as always, free. (See the contacts sections for the phone number/email and availability)

Unpublished Photographs of The Beatles in the Cavern Club!

Last week we had a ticket that we'd never seen before and this week we are thrilled to have come across two rare, unpublished photographs of the Beatles in the Cavern Club.

The images show the boys in the Cavern in early 1962. Paul is in a black roll neck top, George and John are in shirts and sleeveless pullovers. The drummer isn't visible in the photographs but it is Pete Best's drum kit.

The vendor, who cannot recall how she obtained the photographs, later got them both signed on the reverse by the Beatles. This would have been after August 1962 because Ringo has signed. Paul McCartney has signed for John Lennon in both cases.

Finding previously unseen items is always exciting and proves that you never know what you have stored away somewhere.

The image of one of the photographs below is edited and marked in order to protect the value of the photograph.

The estimate for the photographs is yet to be confirmed. They will be sold as two separate lots.

A few autographs.

Autographs are always very popular in the auction. Value very much depends on what the autographs are on and the condition.


This set features all four Beatles but two of the autographs are upside down. It carries an estimate of £1700-£1900

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This set has a lovely dedication to Maureen. Three of the Beatles have signed on one piece of paper and Paul has signed and dedicated on another piece. The estimate on this set is £1600-£1800

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally for this post, this is an incomplete set on autographs on a fan club card. It is signed by John, Ringo and Paul. The Paul signature is faded. The estimate on this item is £800-£1200

A Gift From Brian

This tag was attached to a wedding gift from the Beatles manager Brian Epstein. Someone has added the words "champagne glasses" presumably these were the gift.

The card is dedicated, with a personal message wishing the the couple all the best for their future and signed all in Brian's handwriting.

The estimate on this unusual signed item is £450-£475

A trio of George related items

George's mum Louise was always very good to fans that contacted her. This lot contains a photograph of George signed on the reverse by Mrs Harrison and a typed sheet with all kinds of information about George which Louise has signed with George's name. Estimate  £75-£125
