We don’t collect Beatle memorabilia like autographs, signed photos, tickets, posters, toys and such – but many people do.
If you have an authentic Beatle photograph which is autographed by one or more of the band you might be wondering what it’s worth. And is it increasing in value as the years go by?
Well, it turns out that signed Beatle photographs appear to be a pretty good investment.
That’s according to the PFC40 Autograph Index (to 2018), compiled by Paul Fraser Collectibles. Their list tracks the values of 40 of the world’s most sought-after autographs since the year 2000. The prices given are an evaluation of the market value for a fully authenticated, best quality signed photo, based on close monitoring of dealer and auction sales. (A “best quality” example will feature a photograph in superb condition, depicting the subject in their most famous era, with a sharp, clear signature acquired during that period).
On the latest PFC40 Autograph Index Summary the Beatles feature prominently:
The most valuable autograph: £29,500 for a signed photo of The Beatles. (That’s US$38,560, or AU$50,439 at today’s exchange rate!)
One of the top performing autographs was Paul McCartney’s, with a value for the year of £2950.
Over the period 2000-2018 the top performing autograph was George Harrison’s with an 18.2% increase over that period.
The Beatles as a group appear twice in the Top 40 list for 2000-2018, as do all four individual Beatles – John Lennon (+12.2% over 18 years), Paul McCartney (+17% over 18 years), George Harrison (see above), and Ringo Starr (+12% over 18 years).
So, hang on to those autographs – especially if they are on photographs or album covers.

Hi, we don’t collect Beatle memorabilia like this (we’re more about records, CDs and books), but a quick search on eBay turned up these items: https://tinyurl.com/uprab43
Looks like if it is from the 1960s it may have some value, but if it’s more recent then probably not.

My brother stayed at George Harrison’s guest house in Maui in the 1990s with his friend who was the property caretaker. Brother didn’t meet George as he wasn’t there but George signed a poster and specifically said “To Gerry, …… George Harrison” – what is the value if the autograph has a “To ….” a specific person’s name on it?

Hi Maggie, Thanks for your question. What you describe sounds like a terrific collectable. We don’t really follow autograph and memorabilia prices. However, you might want to have a look at this article on our site:
https://beatlesblogger.com/2014/10/25/how-much-is-that-beatle-autograph-worth/
The company mentioned is Paul Fraser Collectables and they have a Beatles search page here that may give you an indication of value: https://www.paulfrasercollectibles.com/search?q=beatles
The main thing seems to be providing proof of authenticity or “providence” in auction terms – and it sounds like the close connection of your brother to the Harrison household does that.
Good luck with it!
