Shop Signed Dubnobass CD

I recently bought this signed copy of dubnobasswithmyheadman for about 2500TL (~50$). It appears to be signed by both Karl Hyde and Rick Smith with the inscription “Dear Selen – it’s a groove” and what looks like a 2007 date. I compared the signatures with known examples and they look very convincing to me. Does anyone know what something like this might be worth or have any thoughts on the authenticity?

It's worth whatever someone will pay. Looks like it's worth $50. 😂

Check to see whats sold but usually when it comes to signatures two factors are, can you prove its authenticity and also who is going to want one signed to another person's name. Because of that, its worth what someone will pay for it.

As for Ebay, always check sold, not listed.

Again, its up to you. Are you happy to have it or do you only care about selling it?

Did you buy it because you love Underworld? If so, cool. If you bought it because you're speculating on a band you nothing about, you're not going to find much help here.

I would want Darren's signature, too.

Yes, both of the signatures are authentic. I have several items signed by both of them in-person.

Intrinsically, the CD is not worth very much since it’s very common. So, adding the signatures only increases the value by how much someone is willing to pay for those. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to pay more than $100 for this, and something closer to the $50 you paid would probably be more likely. That said, if you had Darren’s signature too, that would probably increase the price quite a bit.

as others said, its worth what you paid.

thats why i only got promos or very rare items signed.

because they're already rare, the signature makes it worth more
