This is a piece of Rock and Roll history! Not only does this have a hand-signed Promo Card by all four members of the Beatles in blue ink, it also contains the sponge used by make-up artist Carmen Gebbia on the Beatles when they were on The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964 that night they made history!
Imagine, over 40% of every man, woman, and child living in America had watched The Beatles on Sullivan that night!

There are five items adhered to a pink matted and framed to an overall 18" x 21". The other three items are a black and white 8" x 10" of the Beatles between takes on the show, a black card with yellow letters (stating "Card and / Makeup Sponge / From / The Ed Sullivan Show / Feb. 1964 / contributed by / Carmen Gebbia"), an envelope from Gebbia addressed to Jan Bridge (Sony Music Video Archivist), and a handwritten note on "Carmen Gebbia / Make-Up Artist" letterhead. The note denoting it was used on the show. Sponge has clearly been used but still in Very Good condition. The signatures are slightly light, but are still very legible. This is a rare example of Early Beatle's history and will make a wonderful addition to the collection.
