i am selling some bits and pieces of my enormous collectionj, and the items are for serious collectors only, as the quality and rareness of the items is the highest level imaginable!
1) italian accoustic EKO guitar, built between 1969 and 1972, sunburst lacquer, mint / mint supercondition, according to Jim Jenkins the only accoustic guitar on the planet that holds ALL 4 signatures from Queen.The guitar was signed as a present for a cousin or a niece of Freddie after a show.
An absolute wannahave for the real guitarcollector!
It is a priceless piece, and i will concider serious offers above €7500,-
2) the ONLY still complete and together set of ALL 5 the awards for "A Night At The Opera".
USA 1975. Mint / Mint super condition.
presentations to Freddie, Brian, Roger, John and Queen. ALL 5 the awards are different and they are also the very first ever produced so called "custom-awards".
53 x 82 cm each award.
The set is only for sale as a set, and MUST remain together forever! Not to be sold separately.
Again, the value is without measure, but serious offers above €25.000,- are responded to.
As i said, the items are absolutely unique and for the real serious collectors only.
They are museum material really.
3) for the rich and wealthy only , is the last item that may go is :
U.K. 1975 presentation to Freddie Mercury for BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.in mint / mint super condition.
FULLY SIGNED AT THE BACK BY:
Brian May
Roger Taylor
John Deacon (on video!)
Jim Beach
Jim Jenkins (on video!)
Spike Edney
Eric Singer
Frits Spits ( hollands nr 1 top radio DJ for the last 30 years, and he made Queen popular here )
This item , i will not part with for a penny less than €100.000,-
It is the ultimate number 1 top collectors item of the world from Queen.
There is only 1 item like this.
Not like the 200 copies from the blue BoRap single, that is NOT the nr 1 collectors item anymore now!
I think that these 3 items are the true top 3 of Queen-collectors-items on this planet.
If anyone knows of an item that tops any of these 3, i would be very interested to know what that might be...? Logan Place itself? :-)
cheerzzz

Why did you get this item signed by 5 people who had NOTHING to do with Queen (at the time BoRhap was recorded) ? This looks the same to me like getting a Brian May autograph on a 1979 disco-compilation from Turkey....
"This item , i will not part with for a penny less than €100.000,-"
You're planning on building a new house? C'mon - this amount is ridiculous (for people outside of Europa - €1 is approx. $1.25 and 0,6 pound. No matter how rare this is (I don't doubt that it's worth a lot), 100.000 euros is just mad.

I wonder why he didn't ask Peter Freestone or Jim Hutton for autographs on that item.
I could even ask my uncle to put his autograph on it. He saw queen twice

I can sign it too if you want Basje - I saw Brian once, saw B+R in A'dam in 2002 AND I won a signed cd from Brian's site!

Ah cool! me too, i'll trade my autograph for the 5 awards set

"the ONLY still complete and together set of ALL 5 the awards for "A Night At The Opera".

How many other copies have been split up?
At least now we know who Lisa's insurance assessor is....
bas asselbergs · Member since
but then again, if you don't even know the names besides Queen on the borap award, and why they wanted to sign it, then it's so simple to be negative about it ...
these items are just unique...is Vincent van Gogh's sunflowers painting worth $58 million?
or Eric Claptons normal ordinary factory Fender Stratocaster without an autograph $950.000,-?
NO F.....G way !!! but that has been paid for those items too...the same goes for my items.
They are unique on this planet.
And yes, there have been many awardsets been split up, but no set is still complete and together.That is exactly why this set is so rare...they always took their own awards home with them! So can you imagine how difficult it is to get it complete!? And from THIS set, there is only one set like this! And this was the FIRST set of custom-awards ever made for any artist! And having all the autographs on the BoRap's back, it certainly takes away all doubts about wether it's real or not...
And the other people signing it too, were just só proud that they were able to do so....and they had an awful lot to do with Queen and still have...
The price of all items has been suggested by experts all over the globe, from Sotheby's , Bonhams and Christies....
Maybe, just maybe they can only be topped by the original guitar of Brian? But that will NEVER be available for a buyer i think...Jimmy will inherit it later...?
And as far as i know, there are NO more items that i can think of to be more valuable or exclusive like these 3....
No matter what comment i get on my items, every fan would love to have them in his or her collection!! Just jealousy, all these dumb reactions like "my uncle can sign it too...etc"
Seriously interested people are still welcome to have a look at the items and they will be sold for the prices as stated, they're worth every penny of it!!!
If Brian's guitar were to be sold in an auction, it could raise 10 million dollars easily, but is it worth that much? He built it for less than 500 pounds!!!
Like my guitar and the awards, they are unique pieces of rock 'n roll history, and therefor priceless...and very beautiful and valuable too.

[/QUOTE]
it's just an award with the three most important autographs (BM, RT and JD) plus some extra autographs which won't add much value to the item. A full set of aut. normally goes for 400-500 dollars, so why is yours $500 times 200?? The award might have a value of approx 2500 dollars. It goes beyond me why the value should be 100000 euros ánd making it the nr 1 collectors item.
edit: besides that, if you hang the award against a wall you wont see a thing of the autographs ;)

B..b...b...b...bbbbut it MUST be!!!!!
I MUST be seen as the ultimate Queen collector!!

The only thing is that a friend of mine valued it 1500$, while you Ron gave it a 2500$: you too optimistic or my friend wrong? What is the real value of Basje's award, 1500$ or 2500$?[/QUOTE]
well.. I have a NOTW award which was presented to Freddie and that one has a value of $1100... I was really optimistic for Basje's award... but $2500 is indeed a bit too high. I think that $2000 might be a right one, WITHOUT signatures. Add another $500 I think for all the signatures which is quite a lot, so my $2500 wasnt very bad

Looks like Basje may need to change his plans from a huge villa to a week in a nice hotel ;-)
