Beatles roadshow looks at collectables

Jan 24 2008 by Ben Schofield, Liverpool Daily Post

EXPERTS in Beatles memorabilia will be assessing fab four collectables at a road show this weekend.

Enthusiasts are being asked to take items including those signed by band members to see if the autographs are genuine.

Beatles collectables are reckoned to be the most faked in the world, with just 6% of them actually bearing real signatures.

The BBC’s The One Show is bringing its memorabilia road show to the Hard Days Night Hotel on North John Street, Liverpool, on Saturday.

Experts will be on hand from 11am until 4pm.

They will see 150 collectors on a first-come first-served basis.
