NEW YORK (AP) — A large piece of stage backdrop signed by
the Beatles during their first live U.S. concert 50 years ago has failed
to sell at a New York City auction.
Heritage Auctions spokesman
Noah Fleisher said Saturday that the Dallas-based company will now try
to privately broker the $800,000, 4-foot-by-2-foot plastic wall section
the Fab Four autographed on Feb. 9, 1964.
Other memorabilia items
from the Beatles’ historic appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" were
bought by a high-end collector who asked not to be named.
Those
included a signed "Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band" original fan
club poster for $59,375 and a "Beatles Meet the Beatles!" signed stereo
LP for $56,250.
Autographs from the Beatles, Ed Sullivan and Brian Epstein from the 1964 performance sold for $125,000.
