This is clearly because they were Elizabeth Taylor's personal copies. I had some modest ambitions to buy a poster of Bob Dylan that was signed to her with a cute poem by Dylan. But since it sold for $65000, I had to retire.
However a large photo inscribed to Elizabeth Taylor by Michael Jackson sold for $120,000. Why did this happen? Is it because: a) the answer blowin' in the wind b) it's a THRILLER c) Elizabeth is the Queen of the Nile d) all of the above Those are going to be some rich heirs.
