3. About Ranker Magazine and
Valuable Items

Ranker magazine, a United Kingdom
publication, identifies a signed photo of
Beatles musician Paul McCartney as the third
most valuable item of its kind on the market.
Other Beatles items far exceed the signed
photo in value, however: a single record
signed by the Beatles sold for £9,000 (nearly
$15,000) at a 2011 auction, and an album
page signed by Paul McCartney sold for
more than £6,200 (more than $10,000).
Signed photos and other items from
entertainers such as Madonna, Bob Dylan,
and Mohammed Ali sell in excess of $1,000.

4. Conclusion

However, while entertainers’ autographs
sell quite successfully, the signatures of
scientists and world leaders are also
highly valued by the autograph industry.
One of Albert Einstein’s signed letters
sold for nearly £7,000 (more than
$11,000), while a signed check from the
reclusive Neil Armstrong brought in more
than $27,000. The autographs of Queen
Elizabeth II, John F. Kennedy, and the
crew of the Apollo XI also rank among
the most valuable collectors’ items in the
world today.
