We've already reported on the Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin memorabilia with which auction house Philip Weiss is hoping to continue the success of its "busiest year ever" on January 22.

Also going under the hammer from Part 3 of The Lester Glassner Collection is an original set of authenticated Beatles autographs.

These should prove irresistible for Fab Four fans, with Ringo's signature on the back of the photograph that features original drummer Pete Best.

The way they were... The early Beatles with ousted drummer Pete Best

Also included in the set is a promotional poster for John Lennon's Imagine LP, an unusual set of car mascot nodding figurines and a typed and signed letter by Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono.

Bidders can take part in person in Oceanside, NY, by phone and online. Watch this space for more news on Philip Weiss's sale.
