The times they are a-changin' for Bob Dylan's autograph at Sotheby's

Estimated at $200,000-300,000, one of the most important-ever lyric sheets is going up for sale

The times they are a-changin' for Bob Dylan collectibles... sort of.

The man sometimes known as Jack Frost is no stranger to selling thousands at auction, like his jacket, which brought £3,760, earlier this year.

But this item could sell for significantly more.

The Times They Are A-Changin'... estimated at $200,000-300,000

The piece in question is the original hand written lyric sheet to "The Times They Are A-Changin'", due to appear at auction in New York City.

Also bearing the signature "Bob Dylan", the 8 1/2 x 11 inches sheaf of lyrics will go under the hammer next week on December 10. Sotheby's expects it to sell for $200,000-300,000.

The tune originally appeared as the title track of Dylan's 1964 album, and played as the opening song for his concert the night after President John F Kennedy was assassinated.

Dylan's inscribed lyrics to his 1965-released song On The Road Again are for sale on the market priced at £1,950

If the sale is a success, it'll be great news for collectors. Other Bob Dylan lyrics - like his scribbled signature on the printed lyrics for On The Road Again from the seminal 1965 album Bringing it All Back Home - can be bought for just £1,950, and may prove to be great appreciating alternative investment in the future.
