In fine condition, with scattered light foxing, and a central horizontal fold.
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, which reads: “I met the Beatles in June 1963 when I was in Crewe railway station. I was going on holiday to Torquay with my friends and we had to change trains at Crewe. I was in the waiting room looking after the luggage when my friend rushed in and said that the Beatles were coming down the stairs. I went out and we asked them for their autographs but they were rushing to get on the train that was already there. They asked us to get on the train with them. We did this and as they were settling into the carriage they gave us their autographs and asked us to sit down with them, but we said we were going to Torquay on holiday and had to get off the train as quickly as it was about to leave. They wished us a happy holiday and waved to us as the train was leaving.”
