Unless you find a fan, you’ll never recoup it.
There are all sorts of famous homes in CA and elsewhere that don’t draw that.
The stuff is largely meaningless.
I know someone who is a Beatles fan that bought a song John Lennon had written in his own hand. It went for some goofy price outbidding Michael Jackson. On his way home, he got a call from a representative of Michael Jackson offering substantially more. He declined. It ended up in this guy’s closet somewhere. I don’t get the point.
One of Rossington’s guitars or something like that, yeah, it makes sense. Other stuff, nah.
I’m not saying I’d buy it.
I don’t even know if Rossington’s writers royalties are meaningful. He co-wrote one biggie, Sweet Home Alabama. Aside from Give Me Back My Bullets and What’s Your Name (and maybe Simple Man), the rest are largely deep cuts.

All you need is one fan with a lotta dough. And Skynyrd wasn’t some band with a few hits.
$12MM? I doubt it. $8MM? Definitely.
