Not sold but actually thrown away - the cremedelacreme, at the age of 12 my mother asked if I want the Beatles tapes & me as a foolish 12 year old said no Mum the Beatles are out, now these were 8 track recordings my sister did of them live at the cellar in Hamburg when they were performing there, 2 full nights with the original 8 track recorder they were taped on, two full spools & off to the local tip they went - what a wing nut & what a huge loss to the music world as I don't think recordings of either night exist :oops:

Massive Beatles fan so very intrigued by this Frank.
 
My entire 96 moc set back in 2002.. various cards too.

Well, it would very much depend on where they were playing, when and what, the quality of the recording and whether there were any other recordings of this particular performance. But you could be looking at anywhere from 100,000 to a million at auction. An unheard Beatles recording of any kind is a rare a valuable thing.
 
It was when they were playing the cellar in Hamburg Pete, before they went big & the recording quality was excellent as they let her plug straight into their equipment to record 2 nights, I have done some dumb ass things in my time, but this has to be right at the top of the list by a swiss country mile

HOLY **** TODD! That's a beauty!

The one thing I really regret selling is my mint boxed Mattel Battlestar Galactica Landram which I picked up for pennies back when ebay first kicked in.

Oh no! Sad but awesome nonetheless.
 
A piece I wish I had never got rid of is a boxed 'Droids' Side Gunner I picked up years ago.

A guy on Ebay I found out lived in the next town where I was living. Bought a few bits off of him on the bay and went round to pick them up. While there we had a good natter and he produced this boxed Side Gunner. Now I know a lot of people don't rate the 'Droids' series but I loved this ship. And to say it was minty. The box was perfect, inserts, unused sticker sheet and instructions. It was a beaut. One thing I wish I had kept from the original collection.
