Since Beatles stuff is always coming up at auction (letters, drawings, teeth etc), I thought maybe we could have a rolling thread.

I was browsing the Christie's pages for their forthcoming rock and pop memorabilia sale. Most of the Beatles items are here, and on the next page: http://www.christies.com/lotfi…..e967e6bd31

That letter written by Macca to the unknown drummer is here: http://www.christies.com/lotfi…..e967e6bd31

There are some others that aren't on that page. Here's a 2002 book on the Concert for George, signed by Olivia: http://www.christies.com/lotfi…..e967e6bd31

Legal docs relating to Michael Jackson's purchase of Northern Songs (no idea why anyone would want this, especially as it's a reproduction): http://www.christies.com/lotfi…..e967e6bd31

This is my personal favourite: http://www.christies.com/lotfi…..e967e6bd31

I really want a set of autographs, but they keep getting more and more expensive. Maybe one day…

That could be one of the funniest things I'll have read all week!

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, Let it roll for all its worth.

It's also the most disturbing.

I really would like to know what someone will do with a decaying John Lennon tooth. Show it off to friends or wear it like a necklace! The possibilities are endless! a-hard-days-night-ringo-13

Well we all shine on like the moon, the stars, and the sun.

Put it in a stew for flavour.

Personally I'd wait until DNA technology allowed me to clone him.

God, I just had a good laugh at that. Joe, I needed that. Thanks!

Oh my god, that is sick, wrong, disgusting, and hilarious.

Mr Sun King – wouldn't you want to bring John back to life if you could? I'm sure it's possible – I've seen Jurassic Park.

Seaglass etc – I've just noticed your signature. The Phantom Tollbooth is one of my all-time favourite children's books. I've never met anyone else who's ever read it (apart from my wife, because I persuaded her of its brilliance). Nice to meet a fellow fan!

Thank you. It's one of MY all-time favorite books, period. I don't think it's necessarily for children, I read it as a little kid, but I see much more meaning now I'm a little bit older. For some reason, it seems to me like a book John would have really liked.

Speaking of children and children's books, I was reading old forum posts and I read a thread about Beatles baby names. You never said in the thread what you guys decided on, but, if it's okay for me to ask you…WHAT DID YOU NAME HIM?!?!

Theo (Ted) Pepper. There are pictures in places, easy to find. He's a cutie.
