Footage of a 10-year-old Beyoncé is selling for $3.8M

Naturally...

Ted Owen & Co., an auction house in London, is offering up 12 original Betamax video tapes of a 10-year-old Beyoncé Knowles.

The tapes date back to 1992, featuring unedited footage of the star when she led the hip-hop collective Girls Tyme. You may recall the name from the intro to her Flawless music video that showed a young Beyoncé alongside her Destiny's Child groupmate Kelly Rowland.

The closed auction ends on Jan. 10, 2017. Ideally the footage ends up in the hands of the Knowles family (Beyoncé maintains a temperature-controlled archive with digital copies of all the footage and photos and interviews with her that exist).

Since you likely won't be able to attain the rare, $3.8 million footage, you can preview it here.
