A set of Beatles autographs from a 1963 concert in Hull could earn up to £1,500 at auction.
The Fab Four's signatures were collected by Scunthorpe teenager Jeff Scarr, who attended their gig at the old ABC Cinema on 24 November 1963.
The then 16-year-old went to the stage door and spotted the band taking a break between performances.
After handing his autograph book to a roadie, it was given back to him signed by John, Paul, George and Ringo.
More than 60 years later, Mr Scarr described the concert as "absolutely crazy".
"As soon as The Beatles came on stage everybody stood up and then what seemed like thousands of girls started screaming," he said.
"They never stopped. I did not hear a single song The Beatles sang. It was complete madness."
The autograph book lay forgotten in a drawer until Mr Scarr's wife read an article on Beatles memorabilia.
Auctioneer Paul Potter said the page with the band's signatures had been removed from the book and would be sold as a separate lot in the auction in Scunthorpe.
"Jeff really was a fan of The Beatles' music rather than just an autograph hunter," Mr Potter said.
