Hello Luke,

No matter how I slice it my answer has to be David Bowie. This started with his untimely and unfortunate death in January. I showed my prized 1976 (the year of The Man Who Fell to Earth) signed index card purchased about 12 years ago for a good price - and it was said by several to be secretarial. One very astute gentleman here, Pete Chuka, suggested keeping it - agreeing that certain loops and the overall "flavor" were promising. I then set out to find other like examples, and after a time and some help from one who knows, I ultimately proved the thing genuine. To top this off, I found the original still for very little, and the equally vintage same size Rip Torn for $1(!) to counteract the stress of this affair. All shown below in scale as I will frame them in the future. $136 all, so a good 2016 story in more ways then one. ;)

Thanks very much Paul. I am very proud of this little set. I have seen three dated 1975 sigs and 1 or 2 from 1976 - I have been told they are extremely rare. And, you know I think very highly of your opinion.

Happy Holidays!!!

Hi again Luke,

I meant to say your acquisitions are equally impressive. A beautiful and early quite clean Taylor and a very nice Ledger which I know you wanted very much. You did very well with selection, quality, contrast, placement and cost with both! :)

Happy Holidays!

Eric

Thanks, Eric!
Love threads like this where you get a chance to see other members fantastic items!!

Unfortunally I have been "forced" to sell many of my autographs this year, but I have still been able to get two new ones that I'm really proud of:

1. My Springsteen signed Born in the USA album with a rare inscription

and

2. My Neil Armstrong display

Please take a look if interested!
Nice stuff, Jan!
Thank you GO1ch!
As usual some great pieces. It's been a super year for me, I've been able to get some corking pieces from the likes of Elvis, The Stones, The Beatles, Led Zep, Hendrix etc, but my absolute favourite piece of this year has to be my holy grail Blues item - a fully signed 1967 American Folk Blues Festival programme. Signed by the likes of Son House, Skip James, Little Walter, Bukka White and Hound Dog Taylor. Though I knew they existed I never thought I'd be able to get one.

The Blues are the roots, the rest are the fruits.

This is my Eric Clapton Behind The Sun tour program from 1985, fully signed by the touring band too. I purchased this from Roger Epperson in the beginning of 2016. I try to limit myself to one BIG purchase a year. 2017 I think will be George Harrison!

A beautiful Clapton Adam, congrats and good luck with the Harrison.
Thanks Nate! High praise coming from you! I love all your Claptons.

There are a couple George pieces I have my eye on, so it will be exciting!
Good luck from me as well, Adam! I hope you get it.
