right. But the problem is that nobody is able to tell if there's a market for item that have basically a symbolic value. A Stones T-Shirt is maybe $40 (already overprized) but if it was worn by Jagger it might fetch $500… Beside that – who's gonna remember Bill Wyman (outside the Stones community)? He's surely not Elvis nor Jagger nor Richards.
Beside that there's another problem with rare and especially unique items: Nobody is really able to tell what their worth until they are sold. And some of them are sold only once in 50 years…

Is this an ongoing auction? Is there a link I can use to access it? I have looked through most of this thread but I do not see anything other than Juliens and that appears to not be happening until sept 11.
thanks!

It's ongoing in terms of being able to bid now or put things on watchlists etc., once you register.
The auction itself will take place in Beverly Hills (and online) on the 11th 12th and 13th. Arguing with myself about whether to drive down..
Not making a very strong argument for it right now, so nope

Watch out for their charges too ie the buyers premium fee at 25 percent ,the on line service fee 3 percent,taxes,retrieval costs etc.All plus the hammer price.
Some amazing artefacts here.The Aladdins cave has been opened for sure.
Staging the auction in Beverley Hills is a sure sign they are chasing the big bucks.
Several years ago I dealt with Stephen Wyman and bought bucket loads of stuff at reasonable prices.
Far better if the sale was through the Wyman web site or an auction in London.
I am sure the rest of the Stones are watching closely to see how much they can make further on down the line.
And by the way anyone who tries to diminish the importance of Bill in the history of the Stones is clearly deluded.The Watts/Wyman combo was unmatchable.Glad to have seen that live many many times.

Have a feeling most items in this sale will exceed auction estimates..
This poster from Northampton '65 already has more than doubled the high estimate of $700 with a current bid of $1500(US)
Very cool poster though..

What is this about? Why would Wyman sell Stones memorabilia ? those should be for keeps.
