Wow some of these are absolute treasures. A scrap book from the 1977 Australian tour. OMG! It's so sad to see her RRHOF award for sale. Chris had such good taste that it would be a dream to have any of it. If I was filthy rich I would buy her awards and donate them to some rock museum or give them to her nephew. I just cant stand the thought something like that in some box collecting dust in some millionaire's storage vault or collecting dust in some place.
On another note, I was recently on Ebay. Anything with Chris's autograph is extremely expensive. The price for her signature has went way up.
During the last auction right before her passing I was going to buy something. I found something that was not too expensive at starting bid and thought there would not be a demand for. I was wrong. The appraised value was a few hundred and it sold for $4000. Yet bigger stuff sold for way less. Seriously though, how do you put a price on some of this stuff. I love that Stevie refused to let her old organ be sold or given away in 1998 and she kept it.
