Sotheby's sold this magazine center spread...signed by all 4 in 1964...for $21,666 today. They also sold a pair of Lennon's glasses from 1968 for $181,218 US...amazing!!!
I've agreed with that for years. If you have a serious, high-end item? Where will you put it? You almost have to go with the big-money NY auction houses where people seem to spend more than anywhere else.
I was watching the eye glasses and was gong to bid up to a level that was around the upper range of their preauction estimate. I thought their estimate was low but I never would have dreamed it would sell for that!
