It was a Rock n' Roll lovers dream of an auction, a portion of Dick Clark's personal collection was auctioned off by Guernsey's in their December 2006 auction, sold though LiveAuctioneers.com.
Some of the prices include:

• Madonna's black-tasseled, gold sequeined bustier from the Open Your Heart video $11,400.

Dick Clark's personal collection was a walk through Rock and Roll history, I often wondered -- did he ask for autographs from the performers on his show or was it the other way around?
