Signed album The Nolans - Portrait. Value?

Golledge001 · 10-27-2012, 12:35 PM

Hi,
I am new to this forum but may be around for a while. I recently bought a job lot of records and within it was a signed record - Portrait by The Nolans. I is in great condition and has been signed as follows: "To Trevor, with love, The Nolans xx xxx". It has the signatures of each of the girls by their pictures and seems to be genuine.
I have no idea of a value and would like to ask this site what their opinions are just so that I don't get 99p for a record worth a tenner or of course ripped off on a greater scale. Anyway, let me know what you think, I am looking to sell it. Thanks!

If this is in the wrong place on the forum, I would appreciate a redirection.

If you can find somewhere to sell it with a high proportion of Nolan Sisters fans you might get £20 for it, maybe even £30 if he's called Trevor.
As that's probably unlikely I can't see you getting a more than a tenner for it. Unless it's a really big name artist that's still in demand today, having something autographed doesn't really mean a great deal.

As a matter of fact, as I learned from watching "Pawn Stars", something that's autographed loses its intrinsic extra value if it's autographed TO someone. After all, unless your name is also Trevor, why would you want to own a record (or other item) dedicated to someone else?

Also, the Nolans were stars but hardly superstars and few people care about them now, so it's not like you have an original Beatles or Led Zep autograph.

I wouldn't go running down the Maserati showrooms just yet...

Sorry, I can`t help you with prices at all, Golledge, but if you find a Syd Barrett album dedicated to Lisnaholic, let me know first, ok ?

how about USD1.50?

cos the Nolans weren't that big a deal

maybe a signed ABBA record would fetch a high sum

especially in Australia.........

It's only going to be worth the price of the used album. Unless you can find someone named Trevor, who is obsessed with the band, you probably won't get more than a couple of pounds for it.
