That is a lot of money. It's a nice collection, but I wouldn't have expected it to go for that much. I've seen those Different Class era fan club newsletters go for a pound or two in the past. The concert tickets and some of the leaflets are rarer, but aren't something I'd want to pay a lot for.
By the way, the earlier fan club newsletters (up to 96) are copied on the wiki, if anyone just wants to read them.

I think the rarest thing here looks like a Razzmatazz flyer..?
Yes, I think the Razzmatazz flyer probably is the rarest thing there.
The fanclub newsletters do appear occasionally on eBay, so it is worthwhile to keep checking. Not surprisingly the earlier ones written by Mark Webber are harder to find.
It doesn't look like a fan selling. It's obviously a pro & leads me to believe they could possibly (not saying they are) bidding on their own items to push the price up.
How many copies of Pulp People do we own between us, and is it worth trying to build a complete scan database?
I used to have two (woo!) but I have no idea where they are. Mind you, I'm more bitter about the small "Party Hard" pin (pink text on black, naturally) that went missing off my jacket after leaving it in the school cloakroom. I've also managed to lose an autographed (Jarvis) guitar tab for Mis Shapes... luckily I have since recouped this in the form of Further Complications and an edition of Mother, Brother, Lover. Anyway, I'm prattling, and you stopped reading ages ago, didn't you?
Just about everything I kept was stowed away neatly in my parent's attic. Well that's what I thought until a couple of years ago when I went to collect it and nothing was there - I got blank faces & the response that they'd had a clear out :(
