| Rob Kuhn of Wayback Records with Ringo |
Rob Kuhn of Des Moines has been collecting Beatles
memorabilia for 38 years. Last month, a relative of Beatles drummer
Ringo was in Kuhn’s store, Wayback Records, and sent pictures to
Ringo of several items. “Ringo wanted a certain piece I had that he
didn’t have and hadn’t seen in many, many years,” Kuhn said.
Rather than sell the item to Ringo, Kuhn asked if he could
give it to him in person, in exchange for a photo and complimentary
tickets to a show. Ringo agreed and the two met backstage at Starr’s
show on Saturday night in Omaha.
The item, now in Ringo Starr’s Beatles memorabilia
collection, sells for $400 to $500 online. It’s a Revell Model of Ringo
from 1964.
Kuhn also met Paul backstage at a concert in Omaha back in 2005.
