Description

Historic Beatles autographs, signed for a security guard at their legendary 1965 Shea Stadium show

Hugely sought-after ballpoint signatures and inscription, "To Saralyn, Love from George Harrison," "and Paul McCartney," "and John Lennon," and "Ringo Starr," on an off-white 4.25 x 7 slip. In fine condition, with irregularly trimmed edges, light toning, and Lennon's signature slightly faded. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA, a certificate of authenticity from Tracks, and a provenance letter from the original owner, in part: "The Beatles autograph was obtained at their concert in Shea Stadium, Queens, NY, USA, on August 15, 1965. My father B. Riguardi was supervisor of security and in charge of personally protecting Ringo Starr at the concert. He spent the entire day with the Beatles, prior to, during and after the concert…I am an only child and my dad said he talked to me about Ringo. That's when the Beatles autographed a paper addressed to me, 'Saralynn.'" Additionally includes an official fan club promo card, bearing facsimile signatures of the group. The legendary Beatles show at Shea Stadium broke records for attendance and revenue, and today is still considered one of the greatest concerts of all time.
