(not to you), but to some random person who met them, and had them sign it, how much more value do you feel it adds?
Obviously, who the person was makes a difference, anyone had to price something like this before??
:shh: the artist name rhymes with shmarlie shmyrd

Unless it's Charlie Parker, John Lennon or somebody on that level it doesn't add much of anything, and could be a negative. Signed records are not hard to come by
edit: horseleech beat me to it.
He's been :dead: for a minute.
I guess I gotta find a Charlie Byrd fan some where lol
*thanks for the responses, fellas

get paid or better yet get pills
I had to explain to him that the person that they would mean the most to in the whole world was him, and he was getting rid of them.
That is a photograph of Sean Connery autographed by Roger Moore. It costs one hundred and fifty dollars.
How was this possible?
He was "autographing" them before listing.
He was also doing this with guitars.
thats the only autograph that i want..the rest are just ink on paper/plastic/wood etc. not that interesting that someone knows how to write their name.
i have a crate of horrible private press records with almost all of them autographed by the whole band. funny stuff.

agreed, how to devalue a record imo

It's one of my all-time favorites and I won't be selling it. Sentimental value > $'s sometimes.
I really don't see the difference between an autograph and a grocery list if they're of comparable size.
Music and records have little to do with the autograph hobby/business.
Celebrities, sports, movie, tv even astronauts.
But musicians, not so much.
TTM* is a big deal in the collecting world.
Much discussion about if you should have the autograph personalized or not.
Discussions about who was nice about signing and who is an asshole.
I've also noticed on Antiques Road Show that historical autographs are not worth much. "This letter from General George Washington to your greatgreatgrandfather thanking him for putting the troops up for the night and signed 'much love and freedom, George Washington' is worth $200." "This shopping list that your mom had signed by John Wayne when she bumped into him at the airport is worth $2,000."
I have a good customer who is a jazz autograph hound. When ever Ron Carter, or Mose Allison, or Ira Sullivan come to town he comes in and buys all their records and gets them autographed. He also travels to Seattle and San Francisco if someone like Shelia Escovedo or Ben Sidran is playing.
From time to time he asks me what his autographs are worth...
If it is meaningful to you to have someones autograph great, but don't expect the next person to be thrilled.

that said, alot of the private press is signed cus it was sold at shows.
I understand that some collectors are anal-retentive OCD'ers, so I guess it's personal preference about if it helps or detracts.
But Radio Call signs or when an owner writess their name all over the label is dripping with wacksauce
