Other non Queen stuff up for sale include, John Entwistle's fur coat, a Pan Am air ticket signed by all 4 Beatles, a personal letter written by George Harrison to a fan saing that he couldnt get her a back stage pass because the police wouldnt let him, a flying V guitar belonging to Marc Bolan (expected to fetch up to £50,000!)

Now wheres that winning lottery ticket I had......

My only issue is, how much in American dollars would this be?

I'd really like it if the crown came with it.

$7997 - $11996

The current exchange rate is $1.99941 for each pound.

It looks like a fake

look at the robe for sale and the one he is wearing. They are VERY different.

^ Yeah thats right. Christies sell fakes as well....... my arse.

The ANATO signatures are genuine. The guys from these big auction houses are experienced.

I assume the robe is genuine too. An amazing piece of memorabilia.

If I were rich I'd pick that up in a second!

The robes look different, I think bacause of picture clarity. The one of freddie was taken during the Magic tour in '86. And the robe has recently gone on sale right? I think they're genuine.

Who would take the effort to fake such a thing?

Anyway, it doesn't fit me, I'm more the jeans type.

My friend went there yesterday and he was told the robe was not for sale.

[edit] Vern from QOL has proved it's a cheap fake - no wonder it's not for sale anymore.

Seems like I have overestimated the abilities of the so-called "experts" in Christie's...
