I read an interesting story this week...
A British man on holiday Down Under took a gamble and ponied up $37 for a suitcase at a flea market in Melbourne, Australia, and wound up making an Antiques Roadshow-worthy discovery.
It seems the case contained a virtually priceless collection of Beatles memorabilia, including signed photos, concert programs and previously unreleased recordings. If authentic (and that seems likely) the find will most likely net the lucky Brit "Frasier Claughon" millions.
Many people are speculating that the treasure trove is the long-lost archive of Beatle crony Mal Evans, considered by many fans to be the Holy Grail of Beatlemania.
Evans, a friend of the Beatles who toiled as a roadie, driver and gopher, was killed by police in 1976 after brandishing a fake gun. His possessions were, according to Beatle lore, lost during the subsequent police investigation.
Now that's a legend worth owning a piece of. 2 comments
