The market for one-of-a-kind documentable Beatle items continues to sizzle. The double-breasted suit coat Ringo sported in scenes on the set for the movie Help! sold Friday (7/24) for a high bid of $46,500.  The undisclosed owner is a high-power collector in Rhode Island.  The same RR Auction's sale saw other collectors fork over almost $31,000 for an autographed copy of a Jimi Hendrix Eperience album cover, close to $20k for a signed Janis Joplin photo and a figure just shy of $12,000 for the contract Jim Morrison signed for an appearance on American Bandstand.
