Ringo Starr‘s personal copy of the Beatles‘ The White Album, numbered No.0000001, sold for a world record $790,000 Starr’s White Album carried a pre-auction estimate of $40,000 to $60,000, a number that was easily shattered during bidding.

So number 2 should fetch similar I guess.

What a shame that a crease goes right through the serial number. :(

I've read there might be multiples of low numbers so eg executives would have their own copies.
Or because the embossed number doesn't look quite perfect it might have been a quality control reject that eventually was sold.

I'm pretty sure I've heard one of the Beatles in-crowd confessed his no 9 has lots of plays and the cover was a bit shabby too.
