If you met your favourite artists say at a weekender like cleethorpes/Prestatyn in the past and you wanted their signature. Would you rather have it on the sleeve or the label?

We all know about Frank Wilson and Kenny.

But if the artist just signed their name on the label would it increase or decrease the value ?,

Sleeve every time , writing on record labels , vinyl vandalism & shouldn't be encouraged, & definitely not dedicated to the current owner , be it sleeve or label ..

If a record is in near mint condition and then someone/anyone writes on the label, it has now been defaced! That makes it of less value to me.

There is plenty of paper for autographs, no need to deface records.

Asked Madeline Bell , a close neighbour of mine to autograph a handful of her UK collectables , I applied the golden rule of, " please write on the sleeves,, and no Lovey Dovey bits. She returned them a few weeks later At 80 plus she is still performing all over Europe,. all signed in Large font with a Gold marker " Best Wishes Johnny ,Love Madeline B"! I Thanked her Sheepishly ,, having worked with eveyone from Led Zeppelin to Mc Cartney and Elton she is still one Fiesty lady. Vandalism , no , i think she has increased the value of these " cheapies !
