Paul McCartney's Front Door Sells For $77 Hundred

I love Classic Rock. Collecting it beyond 45's, albums and 8-tracks began at a KISS concert when Ace Frehley tossed his guitar pick straight into my teenage ambition. The hunt was on. I needed more Rock junk! Thanks to the brilliance of television... owning a Pawn shop has turned one man's junk into a music lover's treasure. Collecting weird Classic Rock memorabilia is on the increase. Over the weekend...the front door of Paul McCartney‘s childhood home sold for $77 hundred Wait...let's think like the guys on Pawn Stars. No proof in writing or photographs of Paul standing near the door were presented during the auction. Would you have out bid the 77 hundred? But!!!!! The official word is....according to the Scotsman, the McCartneys moved into the Liverpool home in 1955 and moved out in 1964, when it was sold to a woman “who acted as an unofficial ambassador for Beatles fans who came from around the world to visit the house.” She refurbished the house in the ’70s, replacing the door and selling it to a singer named Glen South, who turned around and sold it — but then bought it back and kept it behind his sofa for years. Reports haven’t identified the door’s new owner, referring to the winner simply as a “phone bidder.” But the auction house is understandably pleased with the purchase price, which matches its high estimate. “It came down to three people bidding against each other,” an auctioneer was quoted as saying. “We’re very happy with the result.”
