Crikey back in the day this was a $600-800 record,
signed twice it seems a steal although i note the value has dropped of late
I think probably because people finally figured out that picture discs are grimmicky crap in terms of vinyl quality (signatures aside of course - that part made the item worth having obviously).

At least we can nerd out over the fact that the signature is period correct

Signatures not given to you in person are the most eryrollingly boring shit I've ever seen.
I asked for an album to be signed once, and I'll NEVER do it again. I felt like a complete jackass asking for it. So I don't care about signatures. However, I think of a signed piece of memorabilia that wasn't personally attained as a collector's investment/showcase, not a seriously treasured personal item.

If I didn't get the signatures in person I'd always wonder if they were genuine. Even if they look 100% accurate there would always be that doubt in the back of my mind

$1000?!? That's insane. I mean, it is a great album, but it's not $1000 great
No album is worth $1,000 - the same way no concert poster is worth $1,000. I just assume the people who spend money like this make 200k plus a year.
Some people consider it an investment... These kinds of things are just about the worst investments I've ever heard of though. I wonder if it's occurred to those collectors that at some point Pearl Jam merch is going to plummet in value, and not just appreciate indefinitely? Like once all us middle aged kids are dead?
