SgtPepper

Hello everyone, nice weather for the time of year, but I digress.
I was recently watching a rather tacky auction program on the TV in the Uk and was rather taken aback by the prices someone got for Beatles stuff which I also have in my collection.
1. Beatles Singles Collection 1962-78
This includes all the original singles plus Yesterday/I Should Have Known Better and Back In the USSR/Twist and Shout released as singles in 1976 in the Uk plus SgtPepper/With a Little Help from my Friends/A Day in the Life issued in 1978 as a single in the UK.
It comes in a black box with gold writing and was released by World Records from Richmond in Surrey in the late 70's.
Someone paid £50 for it and reckons it would get a lot more at a specialist auction.
2. The Beatles Box (express from Liverpool)
This is an 8 box set of the best of the Beatles and has some rare versions of tracks on it. It has full colour inner sleeves with indepth descriptions of the tracks and a running Beatles story. The box itself is designed to look like a box and has The Beatles Box express from Liverpool written on it. The one on the program was the cassette version and fetched over £100, mine is the vinyl version and was purchased just two weeks before the murder of John.
This was also released by the same World Records Limited from Richmond in Surrey.
3. The Beatles Collection.
This collection comes in a dark blue box with the title in gold writing and the Beatles autographs also printed in gold. It has the original 12 LP's in vinyl plus a Rarities LP which I believe was issued separately in the Uk sometime in the late 70's. I don't know the original issue date, but I do know I bought it in early 1981. Again said to be worth well over a £100 but would vary greatly depending on the auction.
4. The Beatles EP Collection
Issued in the Uk in 1981 and includes all the original EP's plus an extra one called The Beatles and has the following tracks, The Inner Light/Baby You're a Rich Man/She's a Woman/This Boy.
I don't think I would really want to part with them, but I would interested to know their true potential worth.
