I need you to educate me! What's the difference, buddy?? Appreciate the Intel.

While many, like you, doesn't think it matters, many Pedigree collectors frown upon a signature. I think the logic is books from the same Pedigree usually share the same characteristics. Adding a signature negates this, it's no longer 'original'.  While not wishing to debate this the fact is it does alienate many Pedigree collectors. From a financial standpoint, not everyone likes signature, especially on high grade books. You are limiting your market when you add a signature. Also, you will lessen your market even further as many Pedigree collectors will not be interested. Any premium for the Pedigree is negated by the signature and it may be a tough sell. If this is a keeper, 'put it in the coffin with me' type of book, by all means go for it. But if you ever change your mind and decide to sell, well, we'll see.

Ok....so I'll get the old label one signed and maintain the pedigree on the 9.2! Thanx for that.

That's sounds like a plan ! If you change your mind, you can always get it signed in the future but you cannot get it removed. I think the blue label pedigree will be easy to move as is . It's a really nice looking book.

Thanx bud!! I love them both. I do at least want them both pressed for the higher grade possibility, knowing neither have been pressed.

While trying to find something to use with the current EBAY coupon I came across this. Don't see this book too often and it fits nicely into my Beatles collection.

I glanced at the publication date, 1964.  That brought back memories of seeing "A hard day's night" at the local indoor movie theater.

The girls in the audience were screaming so loudly, I could hardly hear the movie.  Beatlemania wasn't just at the live events.

Yes, it was a great time to grow up. I was too young to see the Beatles in concert(at least my parents thought so) but I remember seeing a Hard Day's Night and it was crazy.
