Vintage Beatles Record Fetches $19k
Surprising Misspelling of a Name Adds Value for Collectors
|
Updated April 27, 2012 By James Massey (Source: WhatSellsBest.com) - A rare (unsigned) Beatles promotional record with two-songs (Love Me Do & P.S. I Love You) and one name misspelling has fetched *19,586 on eBay.
According to the sellers listing, 250 copies of the promo were pressed and distributed by Parlophone (in 1962) before the misspelling was corrected. The records scarcity, early date, misspelling, and stated condition (as excellent) by the seller, all appear to have contributed to the high selling price. The misspelling to look for is... Paul McCartney's name is misspelled as 'McArtney' on both sides of the record. A small detail that might escape the attention of a casual observer, if they weren't looking for it.
