We now have a Musician-Direct Autograph Sales Forum where you can post individual discussions of new offerings. It's a big change—and a big improvement. We closed this discussion after 8 years but it will always be available to read. 

The new system has been in place for 2 months now and it's working well.

This video shows you how easy the new forum is to use.

You can follow the forum and be notified of new signings exclusively! And you can enter a musician's name in the forum's search box and find any discussions about them.

Be sure to click the Follow link at the bottom of the list of discussions.

Try it...I think you'll like it.

It can be nice when one stumbles upon a musician's shop (via their website), to see that they are selling their autographs. I figured this could grow as a wee database for listing those musicians who partake in this.

I recently recieved a couple press photos signed in ballpoint from John Mayall's website (http://www.johnmayall.com/merch.html). I am also aware that you can purchase signed CDs from Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits(http://peternoone.com/store/). John 5 ( formerly Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie guitarist) sells various items signed, with an option to dedicate.

 

So, does anyone else know of this being done by other musicians?

Sorry if posts rub people the wrong way. I will post here or maybe will only message my friends here.

Hey Ian, that isn't at all what I'm saying.  Like Mike, I wish there was a function that you could not receive notifications for responses to responses.  It used to be that there was very little conversation on this thread and you'd just be notified when someone found something (often very time limited) new to buy.  Now there are a lot more emails that come through that are more conversation.  I watch my emails from this thread constantly as it's a great resource for catching limited releases.. unfortunately, all the emails from this thread trigger email notifications which can make it more difficult to pay attention to.. especially when at work.  So, as I said in my other post, i was thinking maybe it would be a good idea to have another thread that is for discussion regarding issues with the signed items that we get notfications here for.. that way, we can still discuss but not get constant notifications of new posts if we don't want them. It's just a suggestion open for discussion.. 

I think it's nice to be able to discuss what is being bought, especially when there are issues with autopens and secretarials. I just quickly read the email and delete it if it's irrelevant to me. A feature would be nice if you could opt to only receive top level comment notifications and not when someone replies to someone else's comment but I think that functionality is likely beyond the ability of this platform.

My sentiments exactly

I get that some posts snowball, and maybe spinoff threads wouldn't be a bad idea. Steve Cyrkin suggested a separate thread for The Twenty One Pilots question I brought up, but I concluded I didn't want anything that could possibly attract attention beyond this forum (i.e. that fanbase in general). 

I do think that basic feedback on the items is of interest, including authenticity concerns (which are admittedly somewhat rare in regards to artists/label pre-orders), feedback on quality and photos of the items received, is both interesting and helpful.

Part of the problem is that the forum's design isn't entirely conducive to long, complex threads. And they email responses can make it especially confusing as to what is being referenced, at least until the link is clicked. 

I dont use email notifications. I visit the site when I have time and quickly scan the newest items back to my last visit. Never takes more than a minute or two and I dont get flooded with emails.

If too many emails is a problem just unsubscribe from email notifications?  This board works just fine IMHO.

I do the same thing. I turned off notifications a long time ago.

This is the closest thing we have to an internet-wide notification system for all signed musician items. It would be great if we could all depend on email notifications for the availability of new items. There should be a separate thread for related discussion.

Thanks for this! Been waiting on a snow patrol signed record!  My email receipt indicates signed copy so I presume I'm all set! 

Mike
