A pocketwatch and ticket from the Titanic, sell for big bucks.

I remember reading in a stamp magazine, that a letter from the World Trade Centers, that was half burned, sold for thousands and thousands. The cancelled stamp date was 9/11. And, the address showed it was going to that building.

Collectors love paying for historic stuff like that, and it was proved once again, when a ticket for the Titanic's miaden voyage, sold for over $65,000.

It belonged to the last American survivor. She as five, and lost her father and three siblings. She passed away at age 99, in 2006.

She also had a pocketwatch that belonged to her father, and stoped at the exact moment the ship sank in April 1912. A Swedish collector paid over $61,000 for that.

And to think...when I was at a record store on the Sunset Strip, I paid $75 for a Doors ticket from the Fillmore. I'm beginning to think that was a steal!
