I can't tell you about them because the description had very little. I believe that these were acquired sometime before 1967 I THINK!!! But I'm not sure. I believe the reason for just the first names is because it is only 4x6 inches so, not very big. If they are real would it be good to put them in my scrapbook? Or should I have to but some special thing, I don't want to frame it because it wouldn't last long on the wall. Don't bother asking for me to sell it because, even if fake, I want to keep it for a long time. Thanks for the help.

Uh, I think those are just promo cards with really bad secretary signatures and the George Harrison one appears to be Auto-pen based on the indent of the signature & color. There definitly not the real thing. Even if they are small they could have written their full name. How much did you buy them for? Hopefully not a lot??

It looks to be an original fanclub card with the AP signatures that they frequently sent out. For comparison, here's another example.
It is an AP, though you did pay a fair price for it, as these are desirable.

Wow! Perfect matches. Are they with more than what I paid? Should I get a COA just to ensure it's value? And is it safe to put in my scrapbook?

No offense taken! I'm no Beatle expert by any means, but I have seen a couple of examples of authentically signed items that my friends own (Resturant menu and brown paper bag) and those you have didn't look like the ones I've seen. But I'd be interested in seeing what a real expert on these has to say!

Just the fact that it sold for $100 should tell you all you need to know about authenticity. Not saying that bargains can't be found, but just about everyone knows that a Beatles signed anything is worth more than that.

Thank you, who should I contact because Frank Ciazzo didn't reply to my email. Is there anyone who would know if it was from the fan club for authenticity? Like another beatles expert?
