Bob Dylan the Collector

Did you know that legendary singer and 60s activist Bob Dylan was a collector? Over the years, Bob collected song sheets, records and tour memorabilia. They all sold recently to the George Kaiser Family Foundation and the University of Tulsa for an estimated $15 to $20 million. The collection is estimated to be worth at least $60 million dollars.

The collection includes a manuscript of his 1971 book Tarantula, hundreds of tape reels and a 1978 postcard from Barbra Streisand among a few other miscellaneous items.
