Did Buddy Holly tour in England?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He was one of the only American rock musicians to tour England in 1958, and was also on Sunday Night at the Palladium while he was there, so many young people got to see him live, unlike other American performers who didn't tour overseas. He also was one of the biggest influences on The Beatles in sound and name, the name of his band "The Crickets" influencing The Beatles to choose their name. John Lennon was especially a huge fan of Buddy.

How much is Buddy Holly stamp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would say that the value would be extremely high, considering the age of the autograph, the legendary status of Buddy and the fact that he died so young, in or even before his prime...

I guess you could compare that to an Eddie Cochran guitar, a Ritchie Valens guitar, a phone used by The Big Bopper in his shows, etc...

A baseball signed by Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and people like that would have an extrenely high value...but I guess that it couldn't beat a Buddy Holly autograph.

I just couldn't say the exact value because it would depend on the quality of the signature, the paper [or anything else] it was written on, etc...

The most important thing of all would be to make sure it is Buddy who signed the autograph, which could be very hard.

They say that only about 4 % of The Beatles' signatures are real. but consiterining it was is the best condison aboat mmmmm...... 70,000$-100,000$!!!!
