The Beatles “Flip Your Wig” Board Game and Coloring Book

Certificate No: 36168

In 1964 the famous game company, Milton Bradley, presented the Beatles "Flip Your Wig" board game. Originally the game sold for a whopping $2.98 retail. Game play consists of rolling a die to move your "Beatle" (John, Paul, George, or Ringo) to a new space which may instruct the player to draw one of two different types of cards, steal a card from one or more other players, or lose a card. The game continues until one player wins by collecting the four cards corresponding to the "Beatle" piece that they are playing The game consists of the following: the main game board; one die; Beatles face cards; Beatles instrument cards; Beatles signature cards; hit record cards; and mover pieces - one for each Beatle. The game instructions are printed on the filler tray. Originally, the outer box was not poly-wrapped. The condition of the game itself is in NRMT condition. The box is in EXMT condition with two corner splits and one side nearly split with minor paper loss. Included with this fine game is an original Beatles coloring book that is in Mt. condition both inside and including the covers and spine.

Official Elvis Presley Tour Jacket

Certificate No: 21536

Elvis was one of the first to introduce into the world of rock ‘n’ roll the custom-made “tour jacket.” Offered here is a completely authentic “Elvis In Concert” tour jacket. It was manufactured by Howe Authentic Apparel of Memphis. The large size, blue nylon jacket has a large custom “Elvis In Concert” patch over the left breast. The left sleeve is characterized by a symbolic lightning bolt which is then embellished by the finely-crafted letters, "TCB." The letters were an arcane catch-phrase among Elvis' intimates, and they translated "Taking Care (of) Business." All of the staff hired to work on the tour were issued a jacket, so they could be readily identified. Tour jackets of this kind were very popular with those closest to Elvis - an entourage known as his “Memphis Mafia.”
