Any Beatles card/memorabilia experts?

Anybody know what this is? The front is kind of a light silk texture and the black is blank:

Hey Lee,
Morrell man would know, but I haven't seen him post in a long time.

I've seen many of the Beatle cards and have not come across this one. Have been a Beatle fan since their arrival. If you haven't already, a trip to EBay might help if you haven't been there already. Or try to contact Beatle fan clubs,super collectors of their memorbilia. The Beatle Fest meets twice a year and there could be another source to use to track down info. I'm sure some fan could enlighten you to it's origin. Could even be a "broder"?Hope there is an answer and you post your results here for the card. I'd be interested in knowing it's origin.

I am by no means an expert as well, but I have picked up a few Beatles cards and have yet to see one with colors as vibrant like this one has. There were Beatles b&w cards from 1964 produced in 3 series, they had facsimile signatures, but only one per card. Also, the cards that were produced were stamped on the back with the series and card number. I am leaning towards this one being a Broder as well.

Thanks for the insight guys, I honestly have no clue either. It feels like a late 60s/early 70s thing, maybe like a fanclub throw-in type deal. I've searched ebay and google images using a variety of searches and nothing has come up.

Duane- you're right about Morrell Man, he was a regular poster forever and just dropped off. I hope he's doing ok.

The circa 60s/70s Beatles phonographs had cards like this inside.

edit: not exactly this card, but facsimile signature portraits of the band.
