Queen band, What price would this get selling private please

Hi ive joined a Queen facebook page also, but still unsure of real value. I understand collectors, shops want a bargain. But im undecided what to do with this autograph, is it better to hold on to. Will it really increase in value for my kids? Anyway some of you maybe on that page as well. This autograph was signed by the band Queen in january 1974 on a British airway flight from London to Australia as they must of been going to the Sunbury Concert in Victoria Australia. Please advice what youd do thanks in advance.

That is a fabulous set of autographs. You should not sell that for less than £3,000. I’d personally open it up to a wider audience and sell on eBay. Or you could consign to a reputable auction house. Depends on how quick you’re looking to sell.

The Sunbury gig is of course infamous for the compare introducing Queen as ‘the gang of Pommie poofs’ with Queen then apparently being booed off stage. Collectors have search endlessly for footage of the show which is rumoured to exist but never surfaced.

Good luck with it.

Thanks Jimbo not in a hurry either way. Im not a collector, so this is all new to me. Only recently found it after 20years not knowing where i put it lol. Was only young when it got done so dont know much about early days of Queen.

Hi Jimbo,

Stories like the one you've told are what make Queen one of the greatest bands of all time: they never stopped believing in themselves! In fact --as you know, they return to Australia two years later in 1976 as one of the best Rock bands around the world!

Things like that are what make a simple collection became a COLLECTION: I mean, the history behind the stuff. Items have no life itselves, but their History behind make it possible! That's because I think this set and others posted here recently are really interesting. I have no doubt about it.

Amazing!!! A few days ago, one single 1974 autograph by Freddie was sold on eBay for about 2900 euro (£2500 more or less), so I guess this set could be valued for more. It's really cool!! :)

If you do hold on to it make sure you keep a note (with it!) explaining what it is, what kind of value it has and where it could be sold. If you were eight years old in 1974 you shouldn't be pushing up daisies any time soon but anything can happen and you would want your children to know what they have.

By the way, is there any way of merging your two threads or asking a site administrator to do it?
