The Beatles All Four Signed Early 1962 Promo Photo
This is a historic and extremely rare early Beatles promotional glossy photo card signed by all four Beatles, including Ringo Starr, just after he joined the band in September 1962. Measuring 5.5 x 3.5 inches, this is one of the earliest known publicity photo cards featuring Ringo. The signatures, in matching blue ink, are on the reverse of the card. Each Beatle added "Love" to their signature, with George Harrison including "Love to" and inserting "xxx" between his first and last name. Paul McCartney and John Lennon underlined their names, while Ringo included his iconic "star" graphic with lines before and after it, a detail unique to his early signatures. The card is in very good overall condition, with light handling marks, small creases, and some ink bleed, but no tears or restoration. Aged beautifully, it retains its charm as an extraordinary collector's piece.
