Joey Ramone Auction: Late Singer's Records, Passport on the Block

Perhaps one of the biggest purchases will be the singer's record collection, which encompasses 97 pieces of vinyl, including titles from Led Zeppelin, the Who, KISS, Bob Dylan, Elton John and T.Rex.
Other memorabilia up for grabs are items from Ramone's wardrobe, his passport, and handwritten lyrics.
Certainly one of the most unique pieces is the punk icon's Rolodex, which Billboard reports is "'full of record companies, musicians, and agents,' and includes business cards from Rock 'n' Roll High School producer Allan Arkush, Epitaph Records, EMI Records, Footlight Records, Geffen Records, plus the artist's personal Addicted to Noise card."
Fans wanting to get in on the action will have to save their pennies. The auction, which is open from Feb. 14 to Feb. 21, requires a minimum bid of $500.
