Erukian Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Maybe it's because I'm a 20 year old college student and don't know what it means to have money. But anybody who would spend that much on a peice of vinyl is really wealthy and desperately trying to grab onto the past. I'd take that money and donate it to humanity (charity) if I had that much to spare instead of a peice of material, but that's an opinion from a idealistic kid. I guess we all have our own obsessions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I have 3 copies, 2 of which are pretty much mint, the other not bad either. I'll take $500 for all 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All but about $20 of that winning bid is because it's on the Parlophone label instead of Apple. Collectors are funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them is numbered however. I have no idea why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were also 8x11 photos of each Beatle that came with the Album. To note: Some hold on to the past, as they could not afford the product then, collect or wish to have a connection to a part of their life that has gone - for memory of someone else, or for their own memory. Some hold onto the past as they are afraid of the unknown future. dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But collectors are very serious about these types of things and if it makes them happy so be it. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
