I'ven seen hundreds of people calling this "the greatest piece ever." I guess that's why it's priced at $40,000.

Agreed. What's that have to do with Roger Waters? The guy is annoying, and harasses celebs, we get it.

I didn't bring up Ford or GTV, Paul did. I just responded.

You can ask Paul what it has to do with Waters. Paul probably wasn't aware of the topical strictness of threads on AML. I wasn't either. So sorry.

I don't care for some of GTV's tactics, but getting Ford to sign Hans Solo frozen in carbonite? My hat's off to him!

Would a signature really make a prop worth more money?
Stupid in my opinion.

Yeah. And the press coverage helps, too.

As I suspected and mentioned earlier Roger watches eBay and doesn't like dealers. Photo from his Facebook below.

I agree with you Paul, but in this case that is such a poor quality copy the signature may well help.

The stars seem to consider Gio a nuisance but they still do sign for him. I equate what these guys do, with how hamburgers are made/produced.You like them, but don't really want to see what goes on with the "meat" behind the scenes! Latest Iv'e read is that Roger has stopped signing again (stiffed Boston).

After My wife & I were part of the lucky few that Roger Waters did sign for at Nassau Colisium, we took a trip to Boston to see if we could get another couple of LPs signed for my collection.

As all ready mentioned, RW did NOT sign either day in Boston.  That was the last set of dates scheduled in the USA on the tour.  His tweet about Ebayers staying away was posted right about the exact time he drove right past the short line of 20 people waiting for him by the venue on the 2nd day in Boston.

I just wish Roger Waters would have the facts a bit though before posting a nonsense tweet about the Ebayers.   The listing he posted has been up on Ebay and relisted at least once, without it selling.   He posts a listing with a asking price of 600 dollars, but in today's market his autograph is not selling anywhere near that right now.   Maybe in a year, after the tour ends and he is not signing so much, prices may get to that level again.  But I can list one of the LPs I got signed at Nassau for 150,000 dollars, that doesnt mean that is what they sell for.

And to post a Ebay listing that has been up for months (after relistings) on the last US tour date as a reason to stop signing, that is kind of messed up.   I realize Roger Waters does not owe us any autographs, and what he did on this tour with signing, was amazing for nowadays, but really???  It took him till the last US Tour stop to realize some stuff he signed was going on Ebay?   Of course not, he knew it all along.  Definitely unfair to Boston that he didnt sign 1 of the days atleast, as both days the lines were not very long.   First day was longer with maybe 40-50 people, and day 2 only maybe 20 on line waiting.

And as far as Ebay "dealers", they serve a important service.   The autographs they sell are going to the hands/ collections of Roger's fans.  Many people have jobs that make it not possible to be waiting by the venue for 2 to 4 hours for RW to show up, and possibly sign a autograph.  Many fans live in a City/ area where the tour doesnt make a stop without driving for hours.    Many collectors with the money to spend find it much easier to just spend some cash, and add the autograph into their collection.  RW and all the other anti-ebay celebrities all claim they don't like the ebayers selling their autographs, but those autographs are going to their fans.  I have bought many autographs over my 30 plus years of collecting, as sometimes it is just much easier to buy a authentic autograph, then dealing with the time to get it in person.

I'm not going to get into the behavior of some of the large known dealers.  That is a different thread all together.  But being on line both days in Boston, the lines were not very long, and there were not a lot of homeless looking people on the lines.  There is a certain stereotypical look in my opinion for a Pink Floyd fan, and the Boston lines especially on day 2 with only 20 of us, did not seem like the paid helpers that were online in so many of the other cities on the tour where Roger did sign for.
