LONDON (AP) -- A set of Elvis' fingerprints is up for bid.
They're on an application Elvis filed for a concealed gun permit.
Auctioneers in London predict it could sell for as much as
$135,000. A relative of Jimi Hendrix's former press officer found
one of his burned guitars while clearing out his parents' garage.
The guitar was burned during a concert at London's Astoria in 1967.
It's expected to sell for up to $900,000. The Beatles contract is
the first one they signed with their manager Brian Epstein. It's
signed by all four Beatles. George Harrison and Paul McCartney's
fathers also signed it because their sons were underage at the
time. The contract is expected to sell for $450,000.
