How many of you Beatle collectors out there have what they call "Investment Grade" or "High End" Beatles memorabilia??? Beatle Jim
[Posted by Willie on 2/24/10 4:37 PM] Hi Jim, I have a few what I call investment grade, items I would say one is the lithigrpah lyrics-Lennon and 3rd state butcher sleeve a few more.

[Posted by Willie on 2/24/10 8:09 PM] Hi Jim, I have signed sheet music Paul McCartney-Mull of Kintyre, sealed uk copy of Wonder Wall, the ENSCO-Statues perfect condition, All 4-Applause dolls perfect condition, promo45's & picture sleeves.
[Posted by namralos on 2/26/10 7:05 AM] "High end" items usually have a value of $1000 or more. I have a number of sealed albums, for example. Yet although they are clearly "high grade" copies, they're mostly from the 1970's and 1980's and are not considered "investment" items. Sometimes, the term "blue chip" is borrowed from stocks to apply to other collectibles. These would include Near Mint or better copies of albums like... Introducing the Beatles, stereo ad-back; Meet the Beatles, stereo no-publisher credit; etc.. This category also includes serious rarities (Livingston butcher covers; "the Record that Started Beatlemania" sleeve; WMCA picture sleeve; etc. -- particularly the best-condition copies known to exist. Sealed original 1960's Beatles albums are always desirable, and they are usually lumped in with "investment grade" records, but given the propensity for re-sealing, caution in the market has kept some of the prices down. Slight discolorations, bumped corners, wrinkles, and the like all take away from the "near perfect" status of a high-grade record. Frank Daniels
[Posted by Willie on 2/26/10 8:30 AM] I had a record what I would consider it was a mint copy of Introducing The Beatles-ad back I had it for years I sold it about 5yrs ago. I was in need of money now I wish I would have kept it.
[Posted by fab432 on 2/26/10 9:48 AM] Here are a couple of what I would consider investment grade Beatle collectible items. 1) Grundig TK 20 reel to reel tape recorder used by the Quarrymen to record their practice sessions at Paul's house in Liverpool and later on at the Cavern. 2)Candlestick Park poster 3)Candlestick Park poster put out by Capitol Records to help drum up sales. This one was obtained from a former Capitol Records employee. 4)Beatles 1961 Riverboat Shuffle Cruise poster 5) Apple Crate with all dividers     View Attached Image
