Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have?

After getting a new equipment rack, I needed to change the wall decor.  I found a good spot to hang a guitar on the wall.  

This guitar was signed by the original members of Collective Soul in 1995.  It's been verified by the band.  I had posted a photo as a comment on their Facebook page. Both Ed and Dean Roland liked the post. I thought that was pretty cool. 

I found the guitar at a Guitar Center in Las Vegas.  It's a decent Mexican Telecaster.  It's not something that they sold to the public.  Probably given as a prize, etc. 

I don't have much else.  A Triumph album signed by Rik Emmett. 

I bet some of you people have some cool signed items and stories to go with it.  I would be interested in hearing about it if you care to share.

- The 7" 45 RPM single of "Caroline No". Though the song was included on The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds album, Capitol Records released the song as a single credited to Brian Wilson. I took the single with me to the album release event for Brian’s debut solo album, held at Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. I handed Brian the single to sign, and he gazed at it for quite awhile before doing so.

- A concert poster for Rockpile at The Hollywood Palladium. Signed by Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, and Billy Bremner. Why not drummer Terry Williams? I don’t know, that’s how I got it (a present from my gal. I think she found it in Amoeba Music).

- The front cover of Way Out West by Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives. Signed by all four.

I was cleaning up my emails and noticed this thread.  I have Mick Taylor's Stranger in This Town CD with the booklet photo of him signed; a yellow paper promoting Spirit's mailing list, signed by Randy California in 1993, and a vintage Telecaster autographed by Robert Cray.  I also have New Age musician Iasos' first LP, Interdimensional Music (1975), autographed by him.  For those who don't know, Iasos was a brilliantly talented and far out composer/musician who played many instruments and incorporated Debussyian harmonies into his compositions.

Very cool to hear about the signed collectables & stories behind them...
 I have 1 & only 1..
 In early 1992 I was fresh back from 2 years in the Sand Box after SadMan Insane(Saddam Hussein) tried to expand his real estate holdings in the Middle East.
 I was stationed at Ft.Eustis,Virginia & won a radio contest that included 2 tickets & Back Stage passes to the Van Halen "F.U.C.K."concert in Roanoke,Va. & a Not For Sale,Radio Station Demo CD of the opening band Baby Animals self titled release from late 1991,appropriately called Baby Animals..
 The guys from VH were so F’ed up during the concert I remember David Lee Roth nearly falling off the stage,man they absolutely sucked that night and I didn’t even bother with the meet & greet of them after the show but OMG,Suze DeMarchi & Baby Animals were absolutely amazing!.The entire band was friendly & accommodating,DeMarchi was literally the girl next door you fall in love with at first sight.. They all signed the One of a Kind Paper Jewel Case for the CD on the inner flap..I still have the tickets,passes & that CD packed away in storage..Come to think of it I should check & see if it’s worth anything nowdays..
