Measured by memorabilia, Gary Zimet qualifies as Bruce Springsteen's biggest fan. He started big, buying the 1957 Chevy Bel Air The Boss owned early in his career. Less than a decade later, Zimet had compiled a collection that included original hand written lyrics, guitars, clothing and all sorts of other personal belongings of Springsteens. Now, it all must go - except the Chevy. Zimet is putting everything else up on a buyer-takes-all basis, and he is aking $7.5 million. Among the rare artifacts are Bruce's 8th grade report card, his4F deferrment from the draft and the flannel shirt he wore for the cover shot for The River album.
