Authenticity is Everything
Slabbed Fab Four sells for $16,999!
$16,999! That's a confirmed sale price. It was graded Mint 9. Is it worth it?
You be the judge.

I am betting a multi millionaire who didn't want to wait. There are people out there who make boatloads of money and $17K is pocket change, so I could see someone saying "Nice piece, don't want to wait for a deal, have the money to burn, buy it, done"
I've paid way more for an auto than it was worth just because I wanted it now. Just a much smaller scale.

I also don't think everyone always looks at value as just for "resell" purposes. If someone wanted The Beatles signatures (all of which authenticated by the tops of the field) with the purpose of having it for 50 years, I could understand. Not saying they couldn't find another example for cheaper, but as said, it was readily available.
I too would rather it be signed on something else and showing more age, but that is what I like in vintage signatures.

I've been guilty for overpaying on some items also.I always say to myself how bad do I want it.that usually gets me in trouble.I agree that this set was possibly bought by someone that just didn't care much about price or a good deal.He wanted it and that was that.

If he doesn't store it probably then the grading goes down, because of fading etc. That's why I think it silly to grade music memorabilia.

I understand that. It's pristine and hard to improve on. Quality has always made a difference, and in the future it will probably mean even more.

Imagine trying to grade a signed beatles lp that's been signed inside of the gatefold, coins ,comic books I understand, the best thing I found to grade autographs is talking with the boys on the forum, collectors themselves.

Grade posters.
I don't see how they can grade a signed Beatles white lp when they are so rare, or a rubber soul.

Well,
Graded to itself, to others of the same LP, or LP's in general. Murky.

For the most part, grading isn't done on a curve. Whether one is known or a million are, the grading should be the same.
And the autograph is generally graded separately from the object it's on. Notice it says "auto grade only" on the insert. The object it's on may be graded separately, if the submitter wants it graded. That's common with signed sportscards.

Yes, I know. Yet they are inextricable.
