Yes. all of the documents you describe were included in original copies of The Who Live At Leeds album. You're missing the Maximum R&B poster, the copy of the Who's Woodstock contract on yellow paper, and the two 8x10 photos. The documents aren't worthless, but they are copiesm and worth $1-$2 apiece in record collector circles.

Not really laughing at any of you guys......but it's pretty funny overall. I'll bet even The 'orrible 'oo (even with "Moon the Loon" pranking about !) wouldn't guess they would be tricking people so well nearly 40 years later.

The documents are copied so well, many people think they are originals - Especially when they're found by themselves, away from the record. It seems every few years, someone stumbles across these and believes they've found something rare and valuable. I've acrually seen the Woodstock contract on Ebay before (with a sizable opening bid), and the seller claims it's the original contract.

If you buy a copy of The Guess Who's
Artificial Paradise, the inserts are not for real, either ...

Most inserts in collectible vinyl usually are worth between $1 and $3 each (mint condition), There are exceptions to this, but the vast majority are worth about that.

I recently sold for $0.99 on ebay the Sticker from my Kiss Rock and Roll Over album. It wasn't mint, but only one person in the whole world wanted it.

Kris is right. I get these at Antiques Roadshow every other city. Unfortunately I have to tell people that what they have is copies.

You should just go pick up a mint copy of "Live at Leeds" and then magically pull out a duplicate set every time somebody shows up about them!
