Ringo Starr and his wife Barbara Bach are auctioning off more than 800 personal items in an upcoming auction.
Pieces in the auction include the Ludwig drum kit Ringo used on many of the Beatles' albums (and which Paul McCartney used on his first solo record) and the very first stamped copy of the Beatles' White Album. When the record was first issued, each copy was individually stamped, like an art print. It turns out Ringo had #1 in his personal collection.
