(Cyberspace-AP) -- What is believe to be the last autograph John Lennon gave is now for sale. Lennon drew a picture of himself and Yoko Ono and signed it as he was leaving the Record Plant Studio in New York on December ninth, 1980. The autograph was for Rabiah Seminole, a switchboard operator at the studio. Fifteen minutes later, Lennon was shot outside his New York apartment. It's believed to be the last autograph he signed. The one he signed for his killer, Mark David Chapman, was six hours before he died. Seminole tells the B-B-C she doesn't want to capitalize on Lennon's death, but she knows he was a nature lover and he'd approve of her selling it to benefit her horse sanctuary in Virginia. The autograph is being sold through the web site Moments in Time. Opening bid is 325-thousand dollars.
