Rare handwritten Oasis lyrics among items for sale at auction

Rare handwritten Oasis lyrics are among a haul of pop culture memorabilia being auctioned off. The lyrics to the band's mega hit Wonderwall, jotted down by Noel Gallagher as a practice guide for use on tour, are expected to fetch upto £2,500.

The lyrics are written in black biro on a sheet of white lined paper, with the song title underlined at the top and comes with a letter of provenance.

A copy of a match programme between Plymouth Argyle and Santos of Brazil football from March 14, 1973, is also part of the lot. Signed by Pele, who some might say is the greatest footballer of all time, it is tipped by auctioneers to fetch upto £500.

Alastair McCrea, from auctioneers Ewbank's, said: "These highlights are just the tip of the iceberg in a sale that promises something for everyone." Also for sale in the same auction is a limited edition replica Golden Gun from the James Bond film The Man With the Golden Gun.

Only 400 were created in 2010 and were signed by both Sir Roger Moore and Sir Christopher Lee. The one going under the hammer is numbered 115 and comes with the 007 engraved bullet and a bonus set of 5 extra golden bullets.

Accompanied by a display case and the original boxes and leaflet, as well as two replica Scaramanga signet rings, it has a pre-sale estimate of £3,000-5,000. A revamped puppet head made for the Gerry Anderson films Captain Scarlet and The Secret Service an the tv series Joe 90 is also up for grabs.

The male character head, with brown hair, moving mouth is approximately 20cm long and comes with an estimate of £3,000-5,000. A large, linen-backed promotional poster for the punk rock album Here's The Sex Pistols in 1977 is expected to fetch between £700-1,000.

A custom-made to do list highlighting all the Harry Potter films, created exclusively for Daniel Radcliffe and hand-signed by the actor in black pen, also features. The inside reads: "I have more memories than if I had lived for a thousand years."

Radcliffe has signed and inscribed it: "And I'll cherish them all... June 2010."

The items go under the hammer at Ewbank's on May 26.
