If you have an extra $200,000-$300,000 stashed away for the Christmas Season you may want to consider purchasing the original handwritten lyrics for the Beatles ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.” Paul McCartney penned the classic in 1968 for the “Abbey Road” album. Maybe a Fender Stratocaster guitar owned by Jimi Hendrix would bring a loved one some joy, it might only set you back $80,000-$120,000.
