Is there a reserve on it?

Best of luck!

Very interesting stories about the circumstances in which the signatures were obtained. Best of luck for the sale of this unique item!

Any chance of posting your Ugly Things #29 Nico article for us?

hi Phil,

nice story. Do your "2 known signed copies" include my one? Original mono, big black sticker, signed by all 5 band members (but sadly not Andy himself).

Or does the "big black sticker" mean that it doesn't qualify as an "original issue"? It took me 7 years to get them all. Nico in 1986, Lou John and Moe in 1989 and Sterling in 1993.

Cooincidentally I just posted a scan of it to the "Let's Talk About Lou Reed" Facebook page....

No Andy autograph? I would never admit to owning that piece of crap!!
