Our Market Watch section is an online searchable database and it is smart phone friendly. It was set up as a database for vehicle price data; however we have added other collectibles as well. For example, under “Make” you can search for Paul McCartney for price data related to Paul McCartney collectibles. You can also use the database to see what celebrity ownership of a vehicle does to the value. For example, under “Model” search for Trans Am, click here to view the results. You can also search the Market Watch for famous/well know collections that have sold, for example, here is the data for the Bruce Weiner Microcar Auction. And here is the data for the Lee Roy Hartung collection that sold years ago. We have also included price data from TV shows such as Jay Lenos Garage, American Pickers, and others, simply search under “Make” for Jay Lenos Garage and click on search. The database allows you to compare asking price, book value, actual sale price, etc. You can also view offers versus sale price. Click here to view offers versus sale price. The database includes aircraft, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, collectibles, avionics, engines, car parts, aircraft parts, and more.

Hey Jude |
1996 |
$25,000 |
About a month after John and Cynthia separated in May ‘68, Paul drove his ‘66 Aston Martin (shown below) out to the Lennon home in Weybridge to visit five-year-old Julian and Cynthia.
"I was touched by his obvious concern for our welfare,” said Cynthia.
“I will never forget Paul's gesture of care and concern in coming to see us."
Paul said Cynthia had been part of the Beatles social circle and he found it "a bit much for them suddenly to be personae non gratae and out of my life".
On the drive down, Paul composed “Hey Jules” to comfort Julian and encourage him to pursue his opportunities to find love. He took Julian on a drive through the country that day and sang the new song to him.
“I knew it was not going to be easy for him", said Paul. He changed the name to "Jude" "because I thought that sounded a bit better".
“Paul and I used to hang about quite a bit – more than Dad and I did,” said Julian.
“We had a great friendship going and there seems to be far more pictures of me and Paul playing together at that age than there are pictures of me and my dad."
Julian learned that the song had been written about him 20 years later. In 1996, he paid £25,000 for the recording notes to "Hey Jude" at an auction.
Below is Paul with his ‘67 Martin D-28 guitar and his ‘66 Aston Martin sports car (with Martha in the back seat!) that he drove to see Cynthia and Julian that day. |
