I have no idea what became of that collection. After the guy won it, he was being inundated with requests to sell or break up the collection. Even then it was worth $1m - in as much as the sum of it's parts.

It's not only the sound. There's something about a 60+ year old Mike Love bouncing around the stage singing "Be True to Your School" that just doesn't cut it anymore.
