A close friend of mine actually bought that album at auction several years ago as an anonymous bidder. His name will remain anonymous here as well. It was in the 1.1M USD range.
It's a very scary, chilling, and sad thing to lay eyes upon. The album has been cut in half along the spine, and has NYPD fingerprint dusting along with numbers circling several of the fingerprints. It is also accompanied by the paperwork from the NYPD as it was to be used as evidence in the event that Chapman plead not guilty.

There was a copy of Roy Orbisons will for sale on e bay a while ago.
There's got to be a limit.
