Pattie Boyd, British fashion model and muse to two rock superstars, George Harrison and Eric Clapton, engaged Christie's to auction love letters from Harrison and Clapton in addition to other memorabilia.
As with all other assets these days, Boyd's bounty went for boom-time prices. Chron.com reports, "Christie's, the world-renowned auction house, said its online sale of The Pattie Boyd Collection sold for around 2.82 million pounds ($3.6 million), or more than seven times the pre-sale high estimate of around 380,000 pounds."
