... sold for rather a lot of money!

<http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7500041.stm>

Sold for £52,000 in 1994 - that's a fair profit.

What's strange about this is that history records (citings if folk what them) that there were
two skins painted. One was rejected, and is owned by Paul (& appears in exhibitions
occasionally).

George Martin has written that the other, 'normal' one was on the wall in John's Dakota
apartment when he last visited John.

So, given that it's unlikely that Yoko sold it in 1994, where did this arguably third one come
from. (By the way Peter Blake has no doubts that this one is authentic).

I never recall Geo Martin coming to John's Apartment.
