| The Doors Morrison Hotel Album Cover signed by Jim | |
 |
AUTOGRAPHED BY JIM MORRISON
The most beautiful Morrison signed piece I've ever seen! Originally from the Butterfield & Butterfield's auction house. This comes complete with full documentation including catalog and all receipts pertaining to it's purchase. Butterfields does not issue Certificates of Authenticity with their items; they feel they are above this, so all documentation is included as it should be so that provenance can be established. We, however, do issue certificates of authenticity and one will be included with purchase. In the Butterfield's October 1997 catalog you can see the array of other Doors items that were listed. Evidentally they had hooked into an incredible source.
As you can tell from the big picture below, this is absolutely beautiful! It's matting and framing is exquisite! The current owner spared no expense making this the showpiece of his Doors room. Cond: M-

| The Official Doors / Morrison Silver Coin Set |

Official Doors / Morrison Silver Coin Set
To many this coin is a myth. It's been rumored to have existed, but not many know the entire story. Danny Sugerman recounted the real story to me years ago: He said idea for the coin was proposed to Ray and Robby at a Doors meeting in 1991 and both loved the idea - they signed the permission papers for the limited edition set to be made (and to get their royalty fee) But for some reason John didn't make it to this particular meeting and didn't know anything about the coins. With the confusion surrounding the horrible Oliver Stoned film coming out, someone screwed up and production on the coins began without John's needed approval. When Densmore found out about the coins and disliked the idea, production immediately was halted and all coins made previous to this were recalled and destroyed. None were supposedly ever sold. But somehow a few slipped out - this is one of a few coins that still exists today.
As you can see from the photo link below, this is a very classy item and much thought went into the embossed suede presentation case, the booklet / sticker enclosures as well as the design of the sealed mint condition coin which bares the likeness of Morrison on one side and the official Doors logo on the other. The unusually rare coin is one troy ounce of .999 fine silver but worth it's weight in gold to the right lucky Doors fan. Cond: M.

Official Doors / Morrison Silver Coin Proof
What a find! Only a handful of these proofs exist thanks to an alert coin press operator / Doors fan who saved a handful of proofs for the above coin, as the production run was getting underway. Yes! These ARE the same coin that was in the original rare sets (as seen above), except these lack an edition number engraved on them. Same troy ounce of .999 fine silver with a spectacular finish, only these leave some additional ounces in your wallet. Click below to see the rare silver proofs plus a couple of pressing oddities as well. Cond: M.

Rick & The Ravens Business Card
This card was given to a drummer in a band that played with Rick and the Ravens in 1964. He held on to it till the day I bought it from him. It has two pinholes in it where he had it tacked on his wall. It is a little yellowed everywhere except where the tack heads were. Everything is very clear and easy to read as you can see from the scan below. This is a very rare item and I have only seen one other that belonged to another one of the Ravens when we interviewed them for our Encyclopedia project. Cond: Exc

Ray Manzarek Senior Year Book - 1956 St. Rita High School
This is Ray's Senior Yearbook from the famous St. Rita High School! Of course it belonged to someone else who went to Ray's school (Not Ray) and has some signatures in it, but it's still in really great shape! Of all Ray's yearbooks, this is the most sought after because of the three Pre-Doors photos of Raymond Daniel Manczarek. Just check these scans out! Isn't Ray suave and deboner?! I've seen more Morrison yearbooks than I have of this one. Don't pass up your chance... Cond: Exc+
