Beatles: Lennon, John

Vintage 1975 ballpoint signature, “John Lennon,” on an off-white 4.75 x 4 sheet. Included with the signature is a period spiral-bound photo album, which contains 20 color semi-glossy 5 x 3.5 candid photographs from the WFIL Helping Hand Marathon, with 14 photos picturing Lennon at the event. In very good to fine condition, with light soiling, and old adhesive and mounting residue on the back.

From May 16 to 18, 1975, the Philadelphia rock station WFIL and the advocacy organization PARC co-sponsored the Helping Hand Marathon, a weekend fundraiser to raise money for multiple sclerosis. Lennon spent the entire three days answering phones, taking pledges, and signing autographs for fans; he even stayed long enough to do the weather report for WPVI-TV.
