I collected these items most deliberately with an eye on condition.

Just for fun, here are my personal tickets from the Area2 Tour:

I was at the recording of Last Call with Carson Daly during this run as well.

The magic number for a successful offer is $777!

How do you guys like the look of this one at Propstore's current auction?   A collector friend has his eye on it.  Seems nice to me but I'm not a total expert.  Garry King over there approved it for them.

"Peters/Ford"? They have some off stuff there. Not a fan of the start of the "B" and where, and it interacts with the vertical. The Chertavian Cork Street Gallery Program was discussed earlier and is at least stylistically atypical for those programs according to someone who was there. It is also for sale and has been for ages at "Peterers" self- confirming website.

Here are some  Ford "Bowie" signatures.

 It's maddening for sure with this Bowie stuff and allegations that are made.  We don't know what the provenance of the Propstore piece is from the description besides Garry having examined and passed it.  I do value his opinion work.

People don't refund in excess of $50,000 for "allegations". The proof is in the photo of Ford/"Peters" and who it was sent to and what was done with it. That is all covered in threads. Multiple times.

Anyone else have a thought about the Propstore piece above that I can pass on?

One thing to bear in mind when looking at Cork Street examples is the large number of items Bowie signed in connection with that event.

There was a shop across the street from the gallery that sold the programmes and posters.  I remember going through a huge pile of posters and picking out the best example of his signature I could find.  Never before and never again would I have such a choice of Bowie autographs in front of me.  And there were some really weird, atypical examples in there that I passed on.  Clearly legit, just atypical.

I spent about three days down there in total, and came home with at least four individual signed items: the programme, the poster, an invitation card for the private preview (signed IP for me), and a piece of artwork that I bought from the gallery.

There were, of course, unsigned editions of the programme and the invitation card, possibly the poster as well (it was a long time ago), which became a temptation later on for fakers.

That's interesting background on this, Stepeanut.   Thanks for sharing that.

Certainly points to the fact that it can be a potential challenge to separate the good from those that are not.

I have just been refunded for that 1980 SP and am keeping this collection so the Heathen CD has been pulled.
