Autographs have always been at the forefront of collecting as fans sought out signatures of their hero. Autographs are very personal in that the person signing stopped their life, for just a brief moment, to give their fan a piece of themselves. Strawberry Walrus has taken the worry and risk out of collecting autographs. You can rest assured that when you show your autographed item to your friends and family you will know that they are real and indeed a frozen moment in time. We have over 20 years experience in dealing with autographs, but we do not rest on our laurels as we sometimes seek out second opinions from other world leaders in Beatles autograph authentication. Remember, you're not just buying an autographed item, you are also buying the reputation of the company selling the autograph. We stand behind each of our autographs with a 100% lifetime guarantee of authenticity. Beatles and solo period signatures are not easy to obtain and are scarce. We've done the work for you so you can sit back and enjoy them.
BEATLES FULL BAND SIGNED 1963 PLEASE PLEASE ME 45 SINGLE AND SLEEVE-We have a very rare item here. This is the first issue (January 1963) red label, Parlophone single for the Beatles first number one hit "Please Please Me." Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have signed on the A side label while John Lennon signed on the B side label(dark blue ballpoint pen). The original owner has penned their name to the B side label. The record is stored in the issue sleeve with George Harrison's signature (dark blue ballpoint pen) at the top. The original owner also penned "Look" with arrow pointed towards George's signature and "Please Please Me Jan 11, 1963" on the sleeve. The original owner also penned their last name (same as record label) just below the sleeve hole. It is believed that these signature were obtained very near the issue date of this rare record. The record is in G+ condition with some scratches, an edge warp, and some scuffs. There is a paper pull on the B side label. Fame was at hand, but these signatures are their early unpolished signatures unlike the polished ones that would follow later. The sleeve shows wear, age yellowing, and old tape stains to old tears. This is an extremely rare signed 45 and sleeve. You can find many signed Beatles items, but rarely a record and sleeve, and especially on their first number one hit. An historic and very collectible item. This comes with a Perry Cox and a GDM Enterprises LOA. When the Perry Cox LOA was issued the sleeve was mounted to a black background (which has been removed). Perry Cox also states that the sleeve and record signatures were examined and deemed authentic by Frank Caiazzo. Bank money transfer required on this item.

BRIAN EPSTEIN AUTOGRAPH FRAMED WITH ART PRINT AND CAVERN CLUB BRICK FRAGMENTS -A 13"X16" wood and glass frame with double matted display items. Inside is a 1962/63 era Brian Epstein signature (black ballpoint pen) on a pink 4"x5" autograph page. Brian was the manager of the Beatles and is one of the hardest Beatles related autographs to find. Also matted is an 8"x10" limited edition Giclee Art Print by Rock Republic. The photo is of the Beatles and Brian Epstein in the Cavern Club in 1962. It is on 100% hand molded cotton rag and is numbered 213/295. The display also has a 3"x4" area with affixed authentic vintage Cavern Club brick fragments. I acquired the autograph from a British collector. It was in an autograph book. I will also provide the book. A girl (Carol) in Twickingham was given the book in 1959 by her father. On the back page she lists the autographs the book originally had Brian Epstein, Wayne Fontana, Mal Evans and 6-7 others. It has a signature/entry from what looks to be a school friend in 1961, and a 1964 Xmas sig from Johnny Briggs, a signature from Bill ? (Georgie Fames drummer). The book is of little value now as the Mal Evans and Wayne Fontana signature were removed prior to my obtaining it. Still, it is a nice piece to have to show the origination of the Epstein signature. A true one-of-a-kind display. This comes with a GDM Enterprises LOA. $850

Somewhere along the line the page got wet and has wrinkled and shows light even bleeding to the ballpoint pen signatures (see photo). However, as you can see, the signature are easily seen and are part of an impressive display. Nice early set. This comes with a GDM Enterprises LOA. Bank money transfer required on this item. 3,750

QUARRYMEN AUTOGRAPHED ELECTRIC GUITAR PLUS EXTRA #1-Full size, strat style, S-101 brand, imported guitar. The scratch plate has been signed boldly by John Lowe and Len Garry in black sharpie and Rod Davis and Colin Hanton in blue sharpie. The signatures were all obtained in Chicago on 5 August 2007. The pick guard was removed when signed. When re-installed one knob covers part of Rod's first name. To make this an even better display group you will also receive a framed display that has two different film clips (2 frames each) of 2 famous still shots used in a documentary film showing photos taken on the 6 of July, 1957 when John Lennon (playing with the Quarrymen) met Paul McCartney. Also included are 3 guitar picks as shown. A strip of actual St. Peters Church (where John met Paul) wall fragments are inside the display. This wall section of the Hall of St. Peters Church (where Paul met John) was recovered during a 2002 renovation. The gentleman who recovered the wall section was a Beatles fan who just happened to be there when the removal of the wall, from the Hall where John met Paul so many years ago, took place. I acquired several pieces and because of their thickness I had to remove some of the base to make a display. I saved the base material and reduced it and strained it to make this display possible. The old wall had over 1" of base material (sand mixture etc,) and then a thick layer of plaster on top that was then painted. We will also include the cd album "Teddy Boy" that contains the song "WHEN JOHN MET PAUL." What a rare grouping! USA only shipping. This comes with a GDM Enterprises LOA. $650
