An unbelievable find from the 1964 Topps archives! Two original Hard Days Night uncut sheets of negatives, each measuring 21x30”, and each representing a full 55 card set. Two full and complete uncut sheets and, judging from the variation in shades, these were most probably put to actual use in developing the set. Use is made even more apparent from the original handwritten notes written still visible on the bottom borders of each sheet: “Color 3589 Beatle Duo” on one, “XXXX Gripper Black” on the other. Sepia tone photographs taken from the United Artists movie, A Hard Days Night starring the Fab 4 provided eager fans with a plethora of fine images of their favorite British rock ‘n roll sensations from the height of their legendary career. Exhibits definite signs of use from the developing process, o/w EX-MT.
