    I mean, it is a great album, but it's not $1000 great
    You'd be paying for his autograph more than anything.

    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

    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?

    Not necessarily. Rare / collectible music memorabilia from the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's etc. is still valuable today and those kids that listened to that music could be long gone by now. Investment for sure. Not ALL of it, but a lot of it.

    Not ever close to a lot of it. In fact, almost none of it.

    I disagree, PJ_Soul.

    For the most part, any musical instrument played by any of the greats that are now long gone is certainly more valuable today than it was in the past.
    To the same tune, any original albums, rare pressings, promo's etc. of any of the greats fits in the same statement.  
    These are not the worst investments like you claim. Especially for Pearl Jam: their rare items will continue to grow in value, especially long after we are all dead.  And the more that people open and spin their collectible vinyl, the more valuable the sealed ones will get in the future. The more people stick pin holes in their posters (is that still a thing? lol) the more valuable the mint, untouched ones will get over time.
    Same with CD's, cassettes and clothing.

    Well that's what I meant. MOST of the stuff from past eras isn't worth much of anything. Stuff from the "greats" are few and far between. Hence, almost none of it is worth anything. As for what will happen with PJ merch... I don't have a crystal ball or anything obviously, but I kind of suspect that their stuff might go the way that all the Elvis stuff has. Big depreciation now that all of his rabid fans are dead or dying. And he was most certainly one of the "greats" as well. And remember, availability/rarity is a huge factor. With many of the items still worth something, that is only because there are hardly any of them in existence. The farther along you get in the almanac, the more of everything there is. People didn't know to keep all that shit back in the 40s, but they sure do now. But yeah, I could be wrong... I just would advise people not to count on it. That is one risky investment.

    I believe I picked one up at the 2013 Pop Shop Shop for $300? Before that I've seen them selling so high. 

    It's pretty cool Ed signed both sides of the vinyl.
