*****YEAR IN REVIEW 2023: WHAT WERE YOUR TOP GETS? MISSES?*****

Wanted to start by thanking our founder  Steve Cyrkin, Admin for this wonderful site!

I'm up to 65 Friends here, and so appreciate  everybody's contributions in this community to help build our collections in this Autograph hobby we all so love.

As 2023 comes to a close, it's time again for:

*****YEAR IN REVIEW 2023: WHAT WERE YOUR TOP GETS? MISSES?*****

If you all will kindly allow me to go first here's

*****MY TOP GETS: (In no apparent order)

Rod Stewart

Rob Halford (Judas Priest)

The Struts

Geddy Lee (Rush)

Duff McKagen (Guns N Roses)

Def Leppard

Iggy Pop

Shania Twain

Adam Lambert

*****MY MISSES:

None this year, our awesome community shared some incredible finds and I got all the ones that interested me!

Now, I am still looking for a BRIAN MAY. London Stereoscopic has a book for 50 pounds, plus 30 pounds Shipping to Canada...that's almost $140 CAD and I could still get hit with Duty. Hoping Brian will do a solo album in 2024 and pick up a signed Cd for way less than $140!

So...now it's your turn.... 2023: WHAT WERE YOUR TOP GETS? MISSES?

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year...See you in 2024 !!!

Very nice list. Always great to see another Buckethead fan 

+1000. Good to see another fan too. Been watching him live since '94, with Bill Laswell and Praxis, Les Claypool, Bernie Worrell, Brain from Primus, GnR, and of course solo. Absolutely unreal guitarist. And he was raised by chickens... 

Screwed up the Buffalo Springfield list, meant to put Crosby in with CSN&Y. My bad. 

My best of the year -- the entire cast of the movie THE HOLDOVERS (one of the best of the year).

  1. My best without a doubt Kate Bush !! Still cant believe a managed to score one !!@Meant the world to me !! Misses prob James Hetfield ! Certainly Green day and Barbra but more so due to being in the UK so really thats out of my hands ! This site is really a blessing to me as a collector and I am so grateful for anyone that gives the hints etc, thumbs you name it . THANKYOU XXXX

Wow guys!!! I just got up this morning and have spent the last hour perusing my way through all of your GETS lists so far. (Kinda feel like Santa Claus must checking through long lists lol).

Anyway, we collectively absolutely Killed & Crushed this year!

Way to go Autograph Live, and especially our little  community here in Musician-Direct Autograph Sales.

Our comradery, sharing, and mutual support of one another's quest to build our Autograph collections so impresses & never ceases to amaze me!

Not autograph related, but on a visit in Liverpool I bought a piece of glass from a stained glass window removed from the church hall at  St. Peter's, Woolton's Parish Church in Liverpool - where John first met a younger kid named Paul McCartney. 

How are folks getting Bill Ward? His paintings?

This is the one I got. Expensive but it's a nice item overall. Bought just in case no other options pop up in the future. I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't already have Ozzy, Iommi, and Butler. I had to make sure I had at least 1 complete set. After Jeff Beck died suddenly while I was trying to find a good option for him, I learned it's not always wise to wait on these classic guys if there is already an option out there.
