Comments
Had I lived in Swinging England during the 60's, I too might had visited the Fab's home and asked for a pic...what a great find ...even though it looks like George had just been woken up.
The reserve price is too ambitious for a few photos of the members of the Beatles and even more photos of their houses. And the envelope is only written in Miss Baker's hand, not in the handwriting of any of the members of the group. I do know people who did exactly what she did and took far more photos. I'm sure they will be watching this auction carefully. They have much more sensational stories to tell, and home movies too.
