Sample selling prices of Beatles collectibles
1996 / 1997

The following are confirmed sales of mid to higher-end Beatles collectibles from different sources. Keep in mind that the price that one item sells for may not necessarily be what another similar piece might be "worth." Prices may vary widely, as many factors must be considered such as condition, rarity, variation or version, uniqueness, original packaging, desirability and market demand.

As with most collectibles, condition is very important in determining value. In some cases a "near-perfect 99% mint" rarity may sell for a much higher price than a copy that might be even "95% mint." Finest known copies, even if not perfect, will always bring a premium on key product. On the other hand, items in worn, fair or poor condition will always be worth only a small fraction of a comparable "near mint" item, and in some cases may have no value or desirability at all.
