Further to our "Johnny Rotten sells butter" blog here, on November 24 nostalgic (and well-heeled) punkers will be able to buy their very own piece of punk and new wave history at Christie's first-ever auction devoted to memorabilia from these genre. According to an AP post, the various items -- from Ramones concert posters to a flier for a 1976 show featuring the Clash, the Sex Pistols and the Buzzcoks -- are expected to sell in the range of $300 to $6,000 per lot.
Punk still can't compete with the mainstream however; classic rock collectibles in the same auction are expected to bring much more, highlighted by the portable organ played by John Lennon at Shea Stadium in 1965, anticipated to go for up to $200,000.
