60 years ago to this day...
Ray Bloch watched four young men rehearsing on stage.
They were supposed to be the 'next big thing'.
But he was the Musical Director of The Ed Sullivan Show. And he thought he'd seen it all before.
He had no idea what was about to happen.
He was about to witness a revolution.
Because 73 million people watched the show that night.
And America fell in love with The Beatles.
A really, really big show.
The major impact it had on society and popular culture.
The way it influenced a generation of incredible artists.
And we're still talking about it today. Which proves the point entirely.
"I think the whole world was watching that night," said Tom Petty.
"You just knew it, sitting in your living room, that everything around you was changing. It was like going from black-and-white to color.”
For millions of fans, nothing would ever be the same again.
The Beatles became the soundtrack to our lives.
('When I'm Sixty-Four' certainly means more when you're actually 64!)
It's a towering musical legacy that will never be repeated.
A collector's item worth shouting about.
For millions of fans, Beatlemania changed their lives forever. And those young fans are now today's most prominent and active collectors.
An original page from an autograph book.
Signed by the four most famous men on the planet.
John Lennon. Paul McCartney. George Harrison. Ringo Starr.
Just 12 months later, approaching them for their signatures would become an almost impossible task.
But for the lucky few that met them in person, these signatures were the ultimate prize.
And remarkably, 60 years on, things are much the same.
Beatles fans are still desperate to own their autographs.
And this piece of paper is now more valuable than ever.
Four iconic signatures.
Four signatures, perfectly signed on a single page. Beatles autographs don't come much better than this.It's one of the most attractive sets of Beatles signatures I've handled.
All four names are signed perfectly in a row.
And the autographs themselves are superb examples.
Each name is crisp, clear and unmistakable.
These signatures are fully authenticated and dated to the period.
And they're free from any personal dedication or inscription. Which is significant, in terms of both visual appeal and future value.
These are the characteristics every top collector looks for.
The hallmarks of a standout piece worthy of display.
The page measures 3” by 5” and is in good condition, with no tears or paper loss. Only a faint tape mark suggests this page is 60 years old.
The exceptional quality of the signatures and the condition of this set makes it an investment-grade piece.
And when you own it, you'll be in good company.
Because around the world, wealthy collectors of every generation are putting their money into their passion.
They're investing in The Beatles. And reaping the rewards.
Money (That's What You Want).

As I'm sure you know, there's some serious money in the Beatles market.
And as if you needed a reminder, last week saw a remarkable sale.
The only known painting by all four Beatles, created in a Tokyo hotel room in 1966, sold at Christie's for $1.7 million. Almost three times the high estimate.
That's a world-record sum for any Beatles-signed item.
It proves the market isn't just healthy; it's absolutely soaring.
And it has been for more than 20 years.
• John Lennon's Gibson guitar: sold for $2.4 million
• Ringo Starr's Ludwig drumkit: sold for $2.1 million
• Paul McCartney's handwritten 'Hey Jude' lyrics: sold for $910,000
• A fully-signed copy of Sgt Pepper: sold for $290,000
Since 2000, a complete set of autographs has grown in value by 612%.
Those numbers clearly speak for themselves.
So I'll just say this:
I began my career as a dealer 45 years ago with a Beatles signed album.
And since then the market for their memorabilia has only grown stronger. Demand has increased every year, as new generations discover their music.
I know I'll be selling Beatles autographs until the day I retire.
I'll proudly pass down my own collection, signed by my heroes, which has given me a lifetime of pleasure.
And they'll keep on growing in value long after I'm gone.
I can only imagine what this superb set will be worth by then...
There's nobody better than The Beatles.
He was quite spectacularly wrong.
60 years and 600 million records later, they remain the most important and popular band in music history.
And their autographs are by far the most valuable.
