Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and by a letter of provenance from the nephew of the original recipient: “I can confirm that the enclosed item belonged to my late aunt. She attended The Beatles concert at Leyton Baths in April 1963. She was 18 years old at that time and lived in the area. During conversations with her over recent years she said the card was signed by all four members of The Beatles after their concert. The card was personalised to her and she said she met the band in person.”
