By: Weiss Auctions The online auction, packed with approximately 500 rare and unusual items, will start promptly at 10 am Eastern time. And, as tantalizing as the abovementioned items are, none are expected to generate as much interest as three early items pertaining to Elvis Presley – including one of three original master recordings from The King's first-ever recording session in 1954 for Sun Records. The original "Los Angeles Consolidated Booking Form Jail Custody Record" with Charles Manson's thumbprints, created when Manson was first booked for robbery and homicide in the horrific Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969, will be offered. Manson was already being held on car theft charges when detectives were dispatched to arrest him following his murder indictment. The full Psittacosaurus dinosaur skeleton, about 18 inches tall and 24 inches long, has been professionally repaired and restored. It appears to be missing a few pieces but is still a rare, amazing piece (est. $15,000-$25,000) Additional prehistoric goodies include a fossilized Camarasaurus (Jurassic Period) tail vertebrae bone; a fossilized Triceratops horn; a fossilized baby Woolly Mammoth upper jaw, with two teeth; and an unhatched Oviraptor species egg, 75-100 million years old, Cretaceous in age from Mongolia, 178mm long, with no restoration, the eggshell 98 percent intact (est. $3,000-$4,000) The Beatles lot is a telegram of congratulations sent to the consignor, informing her she'd won a ticket to see the Beatles at their Steel Pier (Philadelphia) Internet bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com.
