Not to mention having performed concerts at Vicarage Road stadium! John's "7-8"-strength signature is slightly muted by the photo background. There are 11 additional signatures throughout the 7" x 9-1/2" program (Forest v.

VG overall except for a torn-off lower-left corner portion on the back cover. Beckett pre-certification and Auction LOA from JSA.
