Are you a Beatles super fan? If so, then you just might be in luck. Two incredibly hard to find fully signed Beatles albums have just surfaced in an online auction and are sure to leave fans of the Fab Four drooling. One is a fully signed copy of Abbey Road — just five such copies known to exist — and the other is a fully signed copy of “The White Album” in which John Lennon has sketched an image of himself and his wife Yoko Ono. Both have been authenticated by Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo.
While The Beatles were generally very generous with their autographs, the reason fully signed albums are so hard to come by is the group did most of their signing together around 1962 and 1963. Back then, the most common surfaces for a signature were pages or notecards. By the time The Beatles were releasing classic albums such as “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, “The White Album”, and “Abbey Road” they were no longer touring and getting all four of them to sign the same piece was significantly harder.
Of course, it will cost a hefty sum to get your hands on these unique pieces of Beatle history. With starting bids of $30,000 for the “Abbey Road” album and $80,000 for “The White Album” it will be tough for the average collector to own either album. Then again,earlier this year another fully signed copy of “Abbey Road” sold for close to a quarter million dollars so the $30,000 opening bid just may be a steal.
