Paul McCartney’s concert tickets go for around $300 a pop but his autograph could cost you around $3000.
McCartney’s signature is one of the most in-demand autographs for autograph buyers.
Four musicians are currently on the list of the top ten autographs from living musicians compiled by Paul Fraser of Paul Fraser Collectibles for the site News-Antique.com and based on the PFC40 Autograph Index.
Fidel Castro is the most expensive at $5,732 followed by a tie between McCartney and Prince William at $3,275. Paul’s autograph value has grown by an average of over 20% per year since 2000.
Just under at $3,200 is Bob Dylan whose public aloofness makes his signature a tough one to find.
At number 9 is Ringo Starr which you can get on the auction market for around $1,750. His autograph has been growing at the same pace as his fellow Beatle, McCartney.
Finally, Madonna is tenth on the list with a signature worth $1,630. Madge’s number is growing like the Fab Four’s, up only 7.8% annually since 2000.
All are dwarfed, naturally, by the autographs of those that have passed. James Dean’s is the most valuable individual in entertainment at $25,000 but a piece with the signatures of all four Beatles is the overall biggest at $44,500.
Other living figures in the top ten are Tiger Woods, Queen Elizabeth II, Muhammad Ali and J.K. Rowling.
