John Lennon’s Glasses Expected to Fetch $2 Million

That’s exactly what I’d buy if I had an extra $2 million dollars sitting around, John Lennon’s glasses. But that’s what spectacles belonging to the late rocker are expected to fetch in an online auction.
The prized items went on sale on Thursday on music memorabilia website www.991.com. The last pair of Lennon’s glasses sold in 2002 are insured for $2 million.
The former Beatle gave a pair of gold rimmed glasses to Japanese translator Junishi Yore during the band’s 1966 tour of Japan. The glasses come without the lenses as Yore took them out as a sign of respect when he heard of Lennon’s murder in 1980 – as tradition dictates in Japan.
The glasses come with a note from Yore, which reads, “He (Lennon) gave me this … very nice man. Lenses removed when he die.” The auction closes at the end of the month.
What do you do with a pair of $2 million dollar glasses that have no lenses? And the only thing confirming authenticity is a note from someone who claims they were John Lennon’s? I’d have more confidence buying something out of Paris Hilton’s trashcan.
