So......do you collect any type of Beatles memorabilia? If so, when did you start?? ...and what do you collect??
I have become an accidental collector, whilst working on my books I have come across a lot of stuff some I have bought other items have been passed onto me, I would not sell any of the stuff which is really good concert ticteks etc, but the best item I cherish is the record My Bonnie which is signed by John, Paul, George and Pete Best, which was released in 1962, I have had offers for the single but have never been tempted to part with this record, on my website www.beatlesliverpoolandmore.com you can view some scans of some of my memorabilia.
hey kevin...that's some pretty awesome collection. ...i still haven't come across a genuine beatles concert ticket for a good price. LOL...but how the heck did you manage to get a signed 45 of My Bonnie????.. .was this one of the things that was passed onto you. ...or did you buy it somewhere for an astronomical price??? i'm gonna check out your website now.

...whilst working on my books
we have an author in the house. ...good for you kevin...i hope your book becomes a best seller....you must be very knowledgeable to be an author for a beatles book....i wish you much luck and success. ....hey Kevin i particularly like the Carngie Hall program signed by all 4 Beatles... ...and that's pretty funny about the mistake in Paul's name...calling him John... ... ...i have a collection of genuine beatles autographs....but they are all on separate documents... ...hey but wait, i just obtained one of paul and george a few weeks ago... ...i got it at an auction house...with the auction fee of 20% ...it cost a little over two grand. i remember when i got my first autograph...when i met ringo. ..there was no stopping me... ....so i just had to met paul ...got his autograph on two different signings. ....i hope one day to get a collection of all 4 beatles on one document....but honestly i don't think i would ever be able....too costly. ...but one can only dream right.

So for those of us who are 1st generation fans, what was the first collectible (other than records) that you bought? I think mine was swatches of Ringo's linens from the Plaza Hotel. And after that the Remco dolls. I sold my collection in the mid-80s to a noted Chicago collector.
....hmm...don't remember the first thing i bought.. ..but i sure as heck have alot of memorabilia....but not as much old stuff as i would like... ..since you sold your stuff to a collector many years ago...have you started collecting again??....
No, since retiring I pretty much just "window shop."

...i guess that's a good thing....can't be spending that retirement money. ...i myself could probably retire on all the stuff i have...lmao....but i guess i'll probably just pass it down... ....every so often i would give one of my autographs away.????? ....however, i only gave away a Pete Best signed DVD, a Billy Preston signed CD...and a Ringo Starr signed picture.... ....that's as far as it got for giving away any of my autographs. ....i did at one time promise to give someone here one of my autographs....but i havent seen or heard from this person in ages...
