The collection of thousands of newly discovered documents includes what seems to be the band's first royalty check, for $990, dozens of signed contracts, and handwritten and copied scores to "Good Vibrations", "California Girls" and many other hits from their heyday in the 1960s. Investors hope to bring in millions.
