Open letter to STAT and Christopher Morales

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p> <br />Knowing nothing of the Beatles, I did a little research. The exact price (for one), with the buyer's commission, was $115,228.82. Bidding began at $25,000. The copy of "Meet The Beatles," the band's first U.S. release on Capitol Records, was put up for sale by Harrison's sister, Louise. Another complete Beatles album signed on the cover, was snapped up for £21,600 (about $45K) at the Rock 'n' Roll and Film Memorabilia event in London.<br /> <br />Recently in RR Auctions, an album signed by McCartney and Ringo sold for $4.933 and a copy of "Cheers" signed by Paul McCartney sold for $6,811. A photo signed by the four sold for $13K and $17K respectively over the last two months. A Beatles Album authenticated by STAT in the last Coach's Corner sold for $763. Coach's Corner currently has 8 complete or 3/4 signed items in their auctions. I was told by a friend that Beatles signed albums are very uncommon and they vary from $35-40K on up. <br /><br />Bob<br />
