Appraisal: 1964 Beatles Photographs
WOMAN
These were my late husband's. He took them in '64 when the Beatles were in Kansas City, and he was a student at a junior college there and was working part-time at a PBS station. And nobody at the PBS station wanted to go to the press interview, so he took the badge and went. And so he just took these with a family camera. And there's also pictures of them performing in addition to the press conference. Tell me about the performance. All I know was he was there, and he had a great time, and he just kept these for us. Your late husband was very lucky to capture them in 1964, their first tour of the United States, and they did a pretty extensive tour of the United States that year, but as we all know, they did the Ed Sullivan Show. So it's a really seminal moment, they're great shots, he got very close to them. And I think you have just over 30 pictures in this album. Mm-hmm, we do. And on top, I love the fact that you kept your press pass. Yeah. The other good thing is no one's seen these, they're unpublished, and for a collection like this, this many pictures, I would expect at auction anywhere between $3,000 to $4,000. Really? Yeah. Wow. Very nice. I'm glad you kept them. I'm very surprised.
