Should I Buy at this Value?

Hi everyone!

So I've been looking to buy a set of Beatles autographs for a little while now, and I'm torn between whether I should go for this one, found on RR, which ends tonight:

https://www.rrauction.com/bidtracker_detail.cfm?IN=568

The good news is it's oversized when opened, standing at 9x5 x 14.5." But it's a little more than I anticipated spending -- currently, the lowest possible next bid is $6,800, which is over $8,000 with the buyer's premium.

Now, I do recognize that I will likely not find another one this size for a while. But my question for you all is how good of a value this is?

To be honest, I've been hoping to get a set for $5,500 or under, although based on my research it seems that may only get me an off-color, lower-tier, small page signed. If I keep a close eye on RR, can I get a quality set for a price like this eventually, one that goes for under estimate ( (not necessarily a big photo like the aforementioned auction, but maybe a more bolder set of signatures on a bigger album page)?

Or should I be expected to pay a higher rate for a more quality set -- an amount that would be not much less than the $8,000+ this magazine is going for?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, echoing the grey provides wonderful cohesion! This reminds me of another recent framing job - thses secondary colors can work miracles in presentation. It was an Umma Gumma LP - delicate pink or light greenish.

Finally displaying my autographed PYX book. It’s a colored version of a classic Dezo Hoffman. So, I decided to display it with a set of vintage Hoffman photos taken at the first studio session with Ringo, Sept 4, 1962.

Very tasteful display. I'm not really a black mountboard man myself but it works well in the group setting here. Very tasteful decor/lighting as well by the way!!! Any chance of a full-frame shot - maybe as a jpg attachment?
