A Doors Mystery - A Fully-Signed Light My Fire German Picture Sleeve

This signed picture sleeve will be offered in the next Gotta Have Rock and Roll auction.

I don’t see an issue with the signatures. However, the problem is the provenance. It’s a German picture sleeve, and in the letter of provenance the original recipient provides a very specific and detailed account of getting it signed on 9/14/68 in Germany.

The confusing part is that the photo on the front of the sleeve was taken on 9/18/68 in Copenhagen. So, obviously the picture sleeve didn’t exist on the date he claims it was signed.

It was released after the Doors returned to the US. As far as I know, they didn’t return to Europe as a group until they played the Isle of Wight Festival in August of 1970.

No doubt. That’s a little over twice what the Jim and John signed Waiting For the Sun LP that they signed at the Isle of Wight Festival sold for less than a year ago.
