This undated photo provided by Heritage Auctions shows Ed Sullivan, top, center, posing with his arm around Jerry Gort, top right, and members of Gort's family backstage at the New York theater where The Ed Sullivan Show took place. Gort, now 81 and living in California, was a stagehand for the show when the Beatles made their historic television appearance Feb. 9, 1964. Between sets, Gort got all four members of the Beatles to pen their autographs and draw caricatures on a 4-foot-by-2-foot section of a backdrop wall. Now that artifact, believed to be the largest Beatles autograph, is being sold on April 26, 2014, by Heritage Auctions in New York where it could realize $800,000 to $1 million.
