Anybody got a bit of cash lying around?

I'll have to resort to checking the couch cushions for that kind of scratch!

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.

Let me know when we get to No. 0000009!!!

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.
