The Beatles became a worldwide phenomenon in the 1960s and small souvenir items from the early days of their era have been resold for thousands of dollars. This poster is an example. A poster from the Beatles' 1966 Shea Stadium concert broke a world record when it sold for $135,700 at Heritage Auctions' entertainment auction.
The entire auction netted US$ 1.68 million, and the poster achieved a world record for the most expensive poster ever sold at a public auction. The poster's sale more than doubled pre-auction estimates. Heritage Auctions described the poster as one of the hobby’s “Holy Grails.”
