Beautiful, Paul! No doubt authentic in my mind. I really think it's a good investment. The accolades for Prince just seem to keep on coming over here. So many many people seem to think he was a musical genius. And definitely an icon. The man was not only a gifted guitarist, but could play 24 instruments from what I understand. He also could play multiple genres of music, like rock as well. He not only wrote his one lyrics, but he also wrote songs for other artists as well. And apparently he was kind-hearted despite not signing many autographs. He said he did not believe that he was worthy of being worshiped. The people that worked for him said that he treated them not as employees but as family.

Thanks, James. Ive heard stories of artist who played their instrument day in day out said they would jam with prince and he would just rip, playing way better than what they ever could and it wasn't an instrument Prince would play often. It will be interesting to see where the market will end up but prince has always been around the 3k mark when he was living, the two lps on rr auctions will be interesting to watch.

So I wonder if his home will be like Graceland, also this lp has Paisley park song on it.

I read on an old thread , that it was 30 odd years ago that prince would sign his name and then he would sign a p around 1988 and in the 90's he would sign with a symbol.

I wasn't sure when PSA issues LOAs over COAs so I checked the site: if the auth fee is under $50 you get a COA. If it's $50 or more you get a LOA. You can upgrade from a COA to a LOA for $10.

Has Prince ever been under $50 there? I doubt it. If it's always been $50+ the COA in the photos of the 8x10 is fraudulent.
