#3 - A Telephone Booth

...an oak telephone booth to be precise. Measuring 84 inches high, this colossal piece of antiquated technology sold for $12,160. Exactly what Tom did with the phone booth is anyone's guess, but I can imagine some people may have some pretty good stories to tell about it. It's unclear whether or not there are still coins in it from its days in service as a payphone.

#2 - VIP & Backstage Passes

Fetching a whopping $17,920 were a collection of VIP, backstage passes, and other passes. Each one appears to be complete with original lanyard. Some of these are from the Heartbreakers historical performances, such as the '99 Fillmore shows. There is also a pass from the "Concert For George," the late Beatle Mr. Harrison. With a total of 20 passes, the bidder paid $896 per pass. Not too shabby!

#1 - Tom Petty's personal desk

If you've ever wanted to sit where Tom sat, think where Tom thought, and write where Tom wrote, then this was the opportunity of a lifetime. The lucky bidder paid $40,960 to get a piece of Tom Petty's workstation. The desk has various carvings and pen marks, made by the artist himself. With unique markings like that, it's a unique piece of rock & roll history!
