Description

LOVELY EXAMPLE OF A BEATLES ORIGINAL BRIAN EPSTEIN PROMO / BUSINESS CARD L@@K

I AM SURE OTHERS CAN PROVIDE MORE INFO ON THESE BUT I SUSPECT DUE TO THE RATHER MODEST APPEARANCE OF THESE CARDS THEY DATE FROM VERY EARLY IN BRIAN EPSTEIN'S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE BEATLES, PROBABLY PRE 1964 AND MAYBE MUCH EARLIER.

I SUSPECT THEY WERE THE TYPE OF CARDS THAT WERE CHEAPLY PRODUCED TO BE LEFT AT VENUES OR TO BE HANDED OUT TO POTENTIAL CLIENTS WHO MIGHT WISH TO BOOK THE BEATLES SO PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NEEDED TO BE IN USE ANY LATER THAN MID 1963. BY THAT TIME THE BEATLES WOULD HAVE NOT NEEDED THEM AND/OR BRIAN EPSTEIN WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO JUSTIFY A BIGGER BUDGET FOR THEIR REPLACEMENTS LOL BUT LIKE I SAY SOMEBODY OUT THERE MAY HAVE SEEN THESE BEFORE AND I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO HEAR FROM SOMEBODY WHO CAN SHED MORE LIGHT SHED ON THEM !!

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO BE READ,
