FOLKS, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A VERY LONG TIME! IN ALL THAT TIME, I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING QUITE THIS GREAT FOR A VINTAGE SIGNED ITEM BY ALL FOUR MEMBERS OF THE CRICKETS! INDEED, THIS VINTAGE 1957 CONCERT TOUR PROGRAM WAS SIGNED BY BUDDY HOLLEY, JERRY ALLISON, NIKI SULLIVAN & JOE MAULDIN IN THE FALL OF 1957! INCREDIBLE INDEED! ALL SIGNED ON THE SAME PHOTO PAGE PERFECTLY IN FULL NAME BY THEIR BAND IMAGE! (Note, the ' authentic signatures ' that are actually hand scripted are the autographs in their shirt areas of the band image. The ones in the text below the image are printed in the program.)
ORIGINAL VINTAGE FALL, 1957 " SHOW OF STARS ' CONCERT TOUR PROGRAM SIGNED ON THE SAME LARGE PHOTO PAGE OF ' THE CRICKETS ' BY BUDDY HOLLY, JERRY ALLISON, NIKI SULLIVAN AND JOE MAULDIN. ALL SIGN BEAUTIFULLY IN FULL NAME. ALL USE A NICE PENCIL THAT PRESERVES FOREVER WITH NO FADING! IT'S SIMPLY THE BEST SIGNED BUDDY HOLLY AND THE CRICKETS SIGNED ITEM I'VE EVER OFFERED AT ANY TIME! SO RARE TO FIND ANY SIGNED ITEMS BY ALL FOUR ORIGINAL MEMBERS AS NIKI SULLIVAN LEFT THE BAND A LITTLE OVER ONE YEAR AFTER BEING WITH THEM TO PURSUE HIS EDUCATION. SO FINDING ITEMS SIGNED BY ALL FOUR ORIGINAL MEMBERS INCLUDING NIKI IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO DO! ESPECIALLY SIGNED DURING THE TIME THEY WERE STILL TOGETHER AS THIS PROGRAM REPRESENTS! NOTE THAT NIKI ADDS " SINCERELY " ABOVE HIS AUTOGRAPH. THIS SHOW FEATURED SEVERAL LEGENDARY STARS SUCH AS CHUCK BERRY, THE EVERLY BROTHERS, FATS DOMINO, FRANKIE LYMON, LAVERNE BAKER, THE DRIFTERS, BUDDY KNOX AND OTHERS. NOTE BUDDY KNOX ALSO SIGNED THE PROGRAM NEAR HIS IMAGE IN THE PROGRAM AS WELL! HE SIGNED IN BLUE BALLPOINT PEN. THE OWNER ATTESTS TO THE FACT THAT THIS PROGRAM WAS SIGNED FOR A FAMILY MEMBER WHO HAD WORKED AT THE AUDITORIUM WHERE THE SHOW WAS BEING PERFORMED. THE BUDDY HOLLY AND BAND AUTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN EXAMINED AND DEEMED COMPLETEY AUTHENTIC BY THE LATE BILL GRIGGS, WHO WAS THE LEADING EXPERT FOR BUDDY HOLLY SIGNED ITEMS AND HE IS THE FOUNDER OF THE BUDDY HOLLY MEMORIAL SOCIETY. HE IS ALSO THE AUTHOR OF SEVERAL BUDDY HOLLY PUBLICATIONS. FOR THOSE THAT CARE ABOUT SUCH THINGS, IT HAS BEEN STORED IN A SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL THESE YEARS. THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE PROGRAM IS A VERY NICE VG+ TO ++. IT BEARS SOME PROPER HANDLING AND LIGHT AGING. SOME LIGHT WEAR TO THE FRONT AND BACK COVER. STAPLES HAVE DULLED. IT IS INTACT WITH NO MISSING PAGE. THE PAGE COUNT IS 28 WITH COVER. SIZE IS 9" X 12". FOLKS, I CAN'T IMPRESS ENOUGH HOW RARE ANYTHING SIGNED BY THE ' CLASSIC FOUR ' MEMBERS OF THIS BAND IS TO FIND! WITH NIKI DEPARTING SHORTLY AFTER A YEAR AND IT BEING NEARLY 60 YEARS AGO NOW! NO WONDER I HAVEN'T HAD ANOTHER TO OFFER. IT'S HISTORIC, FANTASTIC AND LIKELY THE BEST ITEM YOU'LL FIND FROM THESE ROCK PIONEERS! THIS SIGNED ITEM WILL COME WITH MY LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY.
