Yeah that's what I'm worried about. I really hope they ship. I think I'll cry if my order gets cancelled lol. I'm curious if they'll turn up anywhere else (besides eBay).

Many thanks to the OP.
As a hardcore Dylan collector, this was a no-brainer. Even better, I have family in Canada, so I’m getting my copy shipped there rather than risk ground shipping to the U.K.
On the negative side, placing a simple online order caused a lot of stress this evening. My bank cancelled my credit card payment, and it was too late to speak to anyone in customer service. So, in my panic, I placed a second order. When neither confirmation email came through right away, I ended up calling Indigo customer service. It should be sorted now. One order cancelled, the other approved. I hope.

Yes same here... I tried paying with my debit card twice.... both failed when i clicked order ..., so i then paid via Paypal... then i received a text about 15 minutes later from my bank saying I had Paid them via my bank card even though it was declined twice.... so transferred all my money out of my bank (so they don't try and debit it)
Oh yes shipping surface to the UK (great not) was the only option and no shipping confirmation either.... all a recipe for disaster - hopefully it comes through - at that price surely they won't mess up on these too?

What a stress. Hopefully, it’ll come through for you and everyone else here. I’m quietly confident we’ll be okay.
I’m fortunate to own two Dylan autographs already, including one of his insanely rare signed art books, but I can’t resist wanting another at this price. All sense goes out the window for me when it comes to Bob stuff.

I figured its either now or never for me.. I'm very confident in authenticating stuff myself from the secondary market, but I still usually avoid anything over $50 unless its an absolute must.. My John Belushi, Radner, Murray, Newman, Aykroyd, Morris signed SNL vinyl was purchased for $340.. still amazed how it slipped thru the cracks that cheap. It was tied for most amount spent with a few others I purchased until this Dylan came along. now Dylan is king. If this comes through. I know in 10 years im going to look back at this being one of my best days as a collector

That's an awesome price for that piece. Can't be too many that exist with that many signatures. I think my highest paid was a David Gilmour and Nick Mason signed piece that I probably overpaid for especially when you consider the $100 I spent for the PSA LOA, I cant remember exactly what I have into it but maybe $700 range after all the auction fees, shipping, and LOA. I mainly bought it because it had great provenance and his autograph was going for a decent amount more than I paid at the time. I still like it, but after getting the signed CDs with his wife's book for basically nothing, I definitely wouldn't pay as much for his autograph unless I somehow got a full Pink Floyd signed vinyl or something for a decent price. Other than that probably the Obama books would be 2nd.

We talk a lot about investments on this forum, and this is a great one.
I’ve been a Dylan collector for 35 years. Never dreamed I would own anything signed by him when I started that journey. Had a couple of close misses for an IP meeting, but even then there’s no guarantee he’ll actually sign for you. All the while, I’ve seen prices continue to rise for signed material, despite the proliferation of his art prints in the last 14 years. Dylan is an artist for the ages. When others are long forgotten, anything touched by his hand will continue to be coveted.
I bought my signed copy of Face Value for £500 in May 2021. I considered that a bargain then, as I consider this new book a bargain now. Trust me, you’ve done the right thing in buying a copy.

My credit card did a fraud alert as well but luckily my bank just texts my phone and I can approve it through text so not much of a hassle. But we'll worth going through the hassle for a Dylan autograph at this price.

Yes my bank sent a text to my phone the 2nd attempt - I approved it was me and they still declined the payment!

You did good - smart play on the local shipping to family. This one was a little outside my budget, but I absolutely would have gone in on this if I had the capital handy.

YW! Gutted that I couldn't partake at that price point. But hoping most got into the hands of fans and collectors instead of eBay flippers.

Sometimes my insomnia pays off.
Thank you so much for posting Mikenmar2 - I have been searching for a signed copy of Dylan's new book. This is a keeper and also good value when you consider Neil Young is slugging $500US for his new signed release.
With the 20% off (thanks KDavies12 for the tip) , it brought the price way down and compensated for the drop in our exchange rate to $CA.
Happy birthday to me - this is amazing. I am not usually lucky enough to score the big name items being down under and our time difference, as they are usually sold out by the time I wake up. However, I have managed to buy a Bono from Waterstones and now this so I am broke but happy (and hoping to heck no order gets cancelled)
I love this site! Thanks Everyone.
