A letter written by George Harrison to former bandmate Stuart Sutcliffe in 1961 brought $48,629 in the recent R & R Auction. The highly personal letter celebrates, among other things, the Beatles first appearance on vinyl (My Bonnie with Tony Sheridan). This was just one of the outstanding sales during the event.  

Red-line copies of the Articles of Impeachment against Bill Clinton, signed by various congressional officials and obtained directly from one of the House managers of the impeachment trial, realized $13,279. Other results included a Washington free frank, $8,741; an Ohio land grant signed by Jefferson and Madison, $5,899; a letter signed by Lincoln for a young collector, $5,362; and a large photo of the signing of the treaty that ended the Spanish-American War, signed by 12, including William McKinley, $4,734.
