I know you are both right. I just posted it to show you the price that they fetch, remembering an old Simpsons episode, where a young girl asks someone famous (McCartney maybe?) to dedicate -sign her copy "to ebay". (you can see the joke...)
Just wondering how he got all these CDs signed and since he got in to all this trouble, how come he sells them . (OK he might be in need of some cash, but still...)
On the other hand, it is weird but i wish i had the chance to meet the man to get an autograph but fat chance, since i live in Greece. And officially, on tour, he's been here only twice, 1985 and 2008. Would you rather have nothing or something even with the conditions you describe?
A friend of mine, 10 years ago brought me as a Christmas present, an ATP program signed by all members of Television. I have only seen Tom Verlain live, as a member of Patti Smith band, but i think he is great. So even though i was not there i treasure it very much.
