GUEST: I was given this from my aunt, who went to this show back in 1964, to the Beatles show. She didn't even realize she had these items. She was moving and she found them in the bottom of a drawer. She knew I was a huge Beatles fan. So she was, like, "Would you want these?" I'm, like, "Sure."
APPRAISER: It was 1964. The program represents a Carnegie Hall visit. The Beatles made two shows that night. Uh, this was during their first visit to America when they were doing the famous Ed Sullivan Show. The Beatles were actually in Washington, D.C., before this show. They took a train back to New York, and because it was Presidents' Day, a lot of people are off. According to the records, over 10,000 people met them at Penn Station...
GUEST: Hm!
APPRAISER: ... as they got off the train to go to Carnegie Hall. The fascinating thing about this is that there were very few tickets. But they did two shows for 5,800 people.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: Well, they went on and came back to America and did Shea Stadium at 55,000 people. Beatles fans love collecting ticket stubs. The one thing I'd point out about the performance itself, I think it was John Lennon, said that he felt like he was an animal in a cage being petted...
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: ...because they had fans up on the stage with them. Each of the pieces have sold in the past at around $1,500 apiece at auction.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: If I was gonna place this as a set up at auction, I would estimate it somewhere between $3,000 and $4,000.
GUEST: Wow, that's great.
APPRAISER: Yeah.
GUEST: That's pretty cool. You know, she had mentioned that, you know, the one thing that she, she found annoying was everyone just screaming the whole time. She could barely hear the, the sound. She could barely hear them singing, because it was everyone just going crazy and screaming. She actually went on a blind date. And I think that was the last date, though.
APPRAISER: That's great.
GUEST: There, there was no second date, but she got to see the Beatles.
APPRAISER: But she got the Beatles out of him.
GUEST: (laughing): Yeah.
APPRAISER: That's awesome.
