Hi Joe, I cannot give an opinion on music items since I know next to nothing about them unless they were a classic actor too. I can give what my opinion is on ugly vs price. In my personal collecting I will take a ugly and 100% genuine over a beautiful but iffy. In a case where both are good but the ugly one is half the price I have usually opted for the more expensive nicer one. For investments if a particular performer goes way up in popularity you might make more off a cheap and ugly. I think for long term quality usually holds its own and there will usually be a market.
