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.

@immatthewj thats quite a lot, actually

@sls883 , when I first started typing my reply to your thread,I was thinking ". . . well, no guitars . . ." (which is REAL cool!) and all I could think of was the CDs I had Lucinda and The Cowboy Junkies sign, but after that then I remembered the picture that Lucinda signed for me, and then I remembered some posters and a few more CDs. . . . After I did an edit to add those last couple or three things I was thinking that I actually had more than I thought of to begin with, but I forgot to edit out that first sentence that I prefaced my reply with. Anyway, you brought back some great memories for me with your thread--thanks!

Oh, and on edit I’ll add a tee-shirt that Ms. Williams signed the back of after a show in Cleveland! (But I might have trouble finding that one.) And now that I think of it, a post card that Kasey Chambers signed!

Cool ! I just got back to my room from a Collective Soul concert at the Venetian. So I literally watched them 30 minutes ago. The first time I saw them was in 1995 at the Rainbow Ballroom in Fresno. Although it’s not an expensive guitar,  I just mingled with dozens of people that would cherish it. Also consider that they promote love and spiritual living.I’m sure someone would be eager to purchase it if you decide to let it go. Cheers , Mike.

@buellrider97 That's awesome. I need to go see them again.  It's been a number of years since I've seen them.   On a side note, their music video called Home is really good if you haven't seen it.

I know that a Mexican Telecaster isn't real expensive. They were bringing around $250 at the time. Probably around $600 now. It's just not a less expensive Squire, or some unrecognized brand.  My son is a guitar player and he got me interested in collecting guitars, so I have quite a few.  I stumbled upon the CS guitar by accident.
