Let’s start with the centerpiece of this week’s list, because it’s genuinely one of the more extraordinary items to appear on eBay in recent memory. (As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you buy something.)
Beatles “Revolver 50” Signed Set by Klaus Voormann
Fixed Price: $99,999.99 View on eBay
This is not one item. It’s five, assembled into a collection that tells the complete story of Revolver‘s legacy through the lens of the man who created its iconic cover.
Klaus Voormann has been part of the Beatles story since the Hamburg days—he was there at the Kaiserkeller in 1960, became one of their closest friends, and went on to design what many consider the greatest album cover in rock history. The Revolver artwork won him a Grammy in 1967, and the relationship between Voormann and the four Beatles remained warm and close for the rest of their lives.
The anchor of this lot is the Deluxe Edition of Revolver 50: Birth of an Icon from Genesis Publications—number 18 of only 67 ever produced, purchased directly from the publisher and still sealed. Each Deluxe copy came with a unique, one-of-a-kind framed original artwork by Voormann, and what makes this particular copy extraordinary is that the artwork depicts a conversation Voormann had with Paul McCartney about the progress of the Revolver cover—rendered in a drawing that is strikingly different from the artwork used in the book’s official release. You’re looking at something that exists once and will never be replicated.
The second item is a separate Voormann original from the Collage Series—number 18 of 250, framed, signed, and sold out. The third is a signed limited edition poster from his evening at the Grammy Museum. The fourth is an original 1966 Revolver record store display in used condition. And the fifth is a signed Revolver LP.
At $99,999.99 this is a serious collector’s acquisition, but the Deluxe Edition alone—sealed, signed, with its unique original artwork—is essentially without comparable market precedent.
Beatles Rubber Soul 3rd UK Mono Press 1966 (-5/-5 Cut, Hazel Yarwood)
Current bid: £255.00 (approximately $337.53) View on eBay
The story behind this pressing is one of the more interesting footnotes in Beatles vinyl history. The original -1/-1 first pressings of Rubber Soul were recalled because they caused some record players to skip.
The -5/-5 cut that followed went through several revisions before arriving at what collectors now consider the best-sounding original UK press. Hazel Yarwood cut this particular stamper, and among serious collectors the definitive -5 Yarwood cut is the one to own. The condition here is exceptional throughout—disc, sleeve, and the original EMITEX tracing paper inner all graded Excellent or better, play-graded on a Rega P3-24. 📻
Introducing the Beatles — Factory Sealed Original 1964 Pressing with Rare Hype Sticker
Current bid: $1,460.00 View on eBay
Introducing the Beatles was the American market’s first real encounter with the band, released on Vee-Jay Records before Capitol got their act together. A factory sealed copy from 1964 is extraordinary enough—the condition checklist here is nearly flawless: sharp corners, no creases, no ring wear, bright colors, original price sticker intact, breathe holes visible through the shrink.
The rare hype sticker pushes this into a different category entirely. There is a hint of a bump at one corner and minor wear on the shrink, noted honestly by the seller. 🎵
Paul McCartney Signed Autographed Birthday Card with Drawing
Current bid: $315.00 View on eBay
JSA authenticated, which matters enormously for McCartney signatures—the forgery market for Beatles autographs is substantial, and JSA certification is the standard that serious collectors require.
A signed card with a drawing is a more personal artifact than a standard autograph on a piece of paper. 🖊️
The Beatles Candlewick Bedspread by L. Hilton & Co., 1964
Current Bid: £66.63 (approximately $89.70) View on eBay
This is the kind of item that tells you something real about Beatlemania at its peak—an officially licensed candlewick flannelette bedspread, 70 by 93 inches, manufactured by L. Hilton & Co. in the UK in 1964.
The embroidered design is still in good condition with nice bright colors, some edge wear as expected for a sixty-year-old textile. The sheer variety of official Beatles merchandise produced in 1964 remains staggering, and a bedspread of this quality and age in this condition is genuinely scarce. 🛏️
Beatles 1964 Vintage Original Diary Pendant and Pin Button Lot
Current bid: $51.00 View on eBay
A pair of 1964 originals—a 1” diary pendant and a pin—graded VG++.
Small items, but small items in this condition from this year have a way of disappearing from the market and not returning. For the collector who documents the full scope of the 1964 merchandise explosion, these are the kind of pieces worth tracking down. 📌
