Strider Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Popped into Amoeba Music in Hollywood last night and noticed they had a "Led Zeppelin" original vinyl hanging on the wall, signed by all four members: Robert, Jimmy, John and John Paul. The price is $2,400…which works out to $600 a signature. Wonder how long it will be there before someone snaps it up? If you are interested, I am sure you can call up the shop or check out their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dude on Pawn Stars had an original vinyl Zep I with three signatures on the back and Jimmy's on the front and an expert appraised that at around 10-12k. The appraiser said if all four were together it would have been worth even more for display purposes. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything stated by the expert brought in to authenticate and appraise this item is absolutely correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder1978 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I would always be leery of autographed albums of 70's bands that are signed in Sharpie. Sharpies were not that prevalent in the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best it was originally signed by Page and Bonham in the '70s, by Plant and Jones many years later. Having four signatures from different eras in different inks may explain the relatively low price. Even so, I'd pass on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which probably explains why nobody has snapped it up in the week it has been hanging up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Upon further research, SHARPIES were invented in 1964. Black was the only colour until more colours were introduced in 1979. I held the album in my hand today and got a good look at the autographs. It looks like Jimmy and Bonham were the first to sign the album, as their signatures appear older and slightly faded. Robert's came next, and John Paul's looks like the most recent signature. Amoeba bought it from a young guy in his 30s last March...they paid him $500. The guy had bought it from some other place years ago and the certificate of authenticity came with the album when he bought it but no knowledge of how and when each signature was acquired.

Thanks for checking into this. Just a reminder, a COA is meaningless if it's not from a reputable appraiser and this would be worth a lot more than $2400 if legit.

If I'm a betting man, someone bought it for someone else as a gift. Most knowledgeable fans wouldn't touch it. Condolences whatever the case may be.
