Ken Farrell, president of Just Kids Nostalgia, a pop-culture collectible business established in 1978, was consigned to sell the collection upon Goresh’s death. Farrell and Goresh were mutual, long-time pop-culture enthusiast friends.
“It’s been a whirlwind two weeks on eBay,” said Farrell. “It’s truly a unique opportunity for Beatles collectors. This sale will last all summer.”
Farrell added, “It was a great honor to be selected by Paul Goresh before he died to sell this amazing collection. We will offer items never seen in the collector’s market. It’s a sale not to be missed.”
