To equally appreciate the tons of handwritten lyrics and sketches I have included them in the Sotheby's HQ (best quality available) pictures folder which you can download here! And when the unreleased lots get published later I'll update those in too.

Highlights! There are too many tbh but I'll pick some personal favorites...

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

[tattooedzombigirl]

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

[reallyndacarter]

I would enjoy some good luck from the potato.

[colleendoran]

I need some luck right now, so all hail the Lucky Potato. Do your magic, Potato. I respect you so much I am capitalizing the "P" in Potato.

More Sotheby's stuff that interests me

I really like looking into handwritten notes!

Early tracklist for "A day at the Races" with some different titles. Source.

"Deacies Toon" (will be You and I) cracks me up how this is just another spelling of his nickname, they were as confused as we are about its spelling 🤣

GONE SHOPPING

Including fragmentary draft lyrics (fragment commencing "(Don't) Just hit on me honey", 1 page), also containing pairings of words presumably for use in a song (including "Sex - Disgrace" and "Pressure - Career"), also domestic notes in various hands including engagements ("Gone Shopping") and lists of friends (probably invitees to a party), 40 pages, plus blanks, in a WH Smith spiral bound notebook (130 x 220mm), mid-1980s

Happy birthday, Roger Taylor 🤘🥁

[chaotic-quokka]

Sometimes you just need a pair of drumsticks and two blue eyes to get lost in music, and what music!

Happy birthday to the lion-drummer who makes Queen even more worth to be listened to over and over again🤍

And here's my 2nd artwork for Queen's birthdays, all dedicated to our favourite blonde drummer and some of his most iconic outfits! Do you recognise them all? What's your favourite? 🥰✨️

I also wanted to put his legendary timpani solo in this little tribute, I love that performance to bits 🙏🏻💖
