Syd Barrett discussion

I started this thread to gather information on Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett signatures to hopefully determine just how rare or common he is to collect.

As well as hopefully determine current market values.

I see I forgot to post the photo's from Rob's book here.

Another excellent example of authentic Barrett handwriting and is from his personal book collection that went to Cheffins auction

So here it is for your viewing pleasure and notice it's double signed

Shawn, I think I have another holy grail for you...

The 5 piece Floyd played 5 concerts. The 4. was organized by FC Lewes, they get a signed poster by the whole band:

Absolutely incredible piece !!!!!

The Holy Grail really does exist ha haa

Thanks so much for posting this Andreas. This is a perfect addition here.

I can't make out what's going on in Syd's sig at the bottom of the "Y"

Is Gilmour on this? I don't see him. Maybe I need another coffee haha

Great post Andreas

I wonder if that signed poster will be displayed. Probably behind bullet proof glass and an armed guard haha

Hopefully someone can be there and let us know how it was.

time for a new installment

here (currently on ebay) is yet another Roger Barrett personal book from Cheffins lot #725

BUT... this is the most atypical form I have seen

This is also the same seller that has sold a few books and is the seller I bought mine from.

One of the biggest problems with this Cheffins auction is that their LOA only pertains to the lot # and not each specific book. Cheffins really screwed up on this auction and I know several people share this sentiment.

This item did not sell for the opening bid of 625GBP

Maybe a bit too atypical but at least the asking price is within reason

I'd like to know how many signed books this seller has remaining. I know at least 5 have been put up for sale or sold over the years and of the 23 books in this lot, only about 10-12 were signed I was told.

Since this threads inception, not one new Barrett signature has surfaced that I'm aware of. It still remains true that Syd signed items are very rare no matter what year it is from.
