1974 $1 H96000096B - High # Bookends - Gem
Price: $96
With $1 serial numbers above 96,000,000 no longer being issued by the BEP, bookends such as these are much tougher to find than one would suspect.
BTW, according to Wikipedia, “the song “96 Tears” has been widely-recognized as one of the first garage band hits and has even been given credit for starting the punk rock movement. It is generally accepted that writer Dave Marsh used the term “Punk rock” for the first time in a critical setting when referring to this song.
The song hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. in 1966 and almost simultaneously topped the RPM 100 in Canada and was the band’s only major hit single. Follow-up song “I Need Somebody” peaked at number 22 later that year and no other U.S. top-forty singles followed. It appears on the band’s album 96 Tears.”
Grab this while you can and you’ll not only snag a great note, but also avoid the chances of any second-guessing tears.
