Paul McCartney Book Set Sold For $25,200
Hold up: It’s for charity. MusicCares recently held a Charity Relief Auction and some items went for some baller prices. The auction was held by Julien’s this past weekend (Sunday, February 5th, 2023). A Paul McCartney book set sold for $25,600. It’s a copy of The Lyrics: 1965 to Present and Paul is personalizing the book for the buyer. What would you have Sir Paul write in your $25,000 book? I would have to think carefully about that one.
Other notable items included an Ozzy Osbourne-owned, signed, and played Signature Gibson Les Paul which sold for $19,200. Joe Perry also donated a signed and played Signature Gibson Les Paul, bringing in another $25,000 for MusicCares. The Eagles‘ Don Felder donated his 2010 Gibson Les Paul “Hotel California” aged 1959 reissue electric guitar with signed sheet music. The items sold for $19,200.
David Lee Roth had an original painting of his titled “Dark Ocean” in the auction. The painting went for $10,240.
The Rolling Stones offered up a signed 2022 Sixty 60th anniversary European tour poster. The poster sold for $16,000.
Eminem donated a pair of signed and worn Nike Air Max sneakers (with a signed photo). His shoes sold for a whopping $40,625!
All proceeds benefit MusicCares. The organization offers preventive, emergency, and recovery programs for the music community.
