What do Thomas Edison, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Tupac Shakur have in common?

No, it’s not that they are all dead, because Elvis? Who really knows for sure?

The answer is that rare signed memorabilia from all of them — plus dozens of other famous (and infamous) folk —  is part of a special auction event next week at online auction site Bid4Assets.

Full disclosure: Bid4Assets is a client. Also, unlike previous auctions that I have written about here, this is NOT a charity auction.

But there is some really cool stuff in this auction — worth checking out just for fun. And if you happen to be a collector, you just might find something worth adding to your collection. Here are some of my favorites.

• Thomas Edison Signed Patent for the Incandescent Light Bulb
  This is just cool.
• Babe Ruth Signed Document with exceptional Full Signature
  This is a letter cancelling a spokesman gig. Apparently the way he signed was unusual for him, making this pretty rare.
• Frank Sinatra’s Signed First Driver’s License
• Elvis Presley & Colonel Tom Parker Early Signed Document
  In which Colonel Tom gets a 25% cut
• Gone With The Wind: A Shawl Worn by Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’ Hara
• Muhammad Ali Ring Worn Signed Trunks

And my personal favorite, the

• Tupac Shakur One-of-a-Kind Personal Relic Display
  There are no words. You just have to look at this item.

There are tons more signed items — Beatles, sports figures, presidents, celebrities. The auction also has a lot of jewelry and rare coins, plus real estate in prime recreation areas, including the Southeastern US, Hawaii and the California/Nevada border. 

One day only. Bidding starts at 5pm Tuesday April 11 and ends at 11pm Wednesday April 12.
