SteveAJones Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 10 minutes ago, Lightning said: What would that guitar case be worth to a collector today if you had to put a price on it It's difficult to put a price on it as there are few if any authentic guitar cases from guitarists of similar stature/popularity sold in previous auctions to compare it against. However, given the case's provenance is affirmed by Page himself and that aesthetically it bears "Led Zeppelin" on it I would start the hypothetical bidding at $10,000 USD but anticipate it to hypothetically go for perhaps as much as $100,000 USD -- most likely to a wealthy rock star. In fact, I figure Page himself may have gone that high if he had to just to get it back. It's NOT a guitar of course, so I can't see it having gone for more than that.

Johnnycanasoda Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I would gladly dole out at least $25 grand for that case, if it were at an auction.... for charity..... after borrowing the money from the leprechaun that lives down my road, under the bridge.... shhhhh. Lol. Honestly I have no idea, but I am curious to know what something like that would be worth to a collector. Maybe someone who's an expert will read this posting. What a fantastic story. Great job Jeff. Kudos to you sir. As for the member jousting names, "chump", at him, that's uncalled for, rude, childish and possibly correlated with your own subconscious mind, displacing the true inner feelings you have about yourself and casting them onto what appears to everyone else, a fantastic guy! Keep negativity and insults to yourself and those of your own ilk. There's no room for that here on this forum in any capacity. Spew the negativity somewhere else on some other site for negative immature people. If you have nothing positive to say, don't say anything. Simple. I'm Johnnycanasoda, this is my first post. Great to be amongst you fine people sharing the love of Zeppelin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APL Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hi, It must be known that the guitar case is in the photograph inside the Led Zep IV Remaster CD? I just saw it, but is that common knowledge? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I thought I had replied to this story already but I guess I hit the wrong button. Just want to add my hosannahs along with everyone else's. Jeff Curtis, you are a great man. I believe in karma and you have earned yourself heaps and heaps of karma with your humble generosity.
