Hey guido.... I found out, through my personal grape vine...LMAO They did not sign it! The gold album.
Kenny stated that there is to much fraud out there, and he wasnt going to sign something that was not authentic~
So it could then be sold out on e-bay again, as a un- original, judas priest band item.
SO there is your answer..LMAO I had to know too .. I couldnt remeber .. I guess I was star struck, by the mans blue eyes..
I have only bought a few things on e-bay, Raider tickets ect.. and yes I agree with you 100% you have to really research these things out.
Hugs my friend,
MG~

I'd be curious to know if they signed that gold album as well. I would disagree with your 99% stat of fakes on eBay, though. I certainly haven't found this to be the case. One certainly has to do the research, though. I have their autographs on multiple items and even bought a couple off eBay. Not for the autographs, necessarily, but for the item. I have absolutely NO doubt that the autographs are real. Then again, I am not the "casual" Priest fan by any stretch of the imagination. I have their autographs on many an item and could care less about PSA authentication. I ask a lot of questions and it is really easy to distinguish the bullshitters from roadies.
This being said, I own two gold albums of theirs as well. First came from a charity organization that is beautiful and has every mark of authenticity. Second I knew was a fake (Breaking the Law!...had to have it). Quality is night and day different. However, a while back I saw the one I HAD no doubts of being authentic being offered on eBay. All the actual ones had serial numbers in hologram seals, after all. As the picture posted didn't have the serial, I asked. Damned if that bastard didn't give me my exact serial # back but, "accidentally", left off the final digit! Well, I offered the final digit might be the same as mine to get no response at all. Typical.
My original post came after looking at the current GUITARS that are being offered on eBay. What lowlife bastards. Offer "positive proof" of a signing but to just turn and sell it. Hell, the pictures don't match even the PLACE they are pictured as signing irrespective of the fact that the autographs were either really sloppy or complete fakes. My money would be on completely sloppy as that would be how I'd handle anyone I perceived to be an autograph hound. It would certainly catch a careless fan, though. LOOKS close. Sadly, no cigar.
A great Two for Tuesday to you too!

Someone brought a gold/platnum record to one of the meet and greet's for the band to sign.. Ken was in shock.. he told me because only a few were made.. I think it was from British steel, anywase..LMAO The band just kinda looked at each other, because they knew all of them were accounted for.. they asked the guy where he bought it.. and guess what he said... e-bay..lol This stuff really annoys the band, because Kenny knew it was a fake.. I cant remeber if he said they signed it or not.. That whole night was a dream to me.. anywase..
What annoyed them the most is the fact that people are selling false merchandise, and selling out the band..
Becareful what you buy on e-bay.. Cause 99% of the time its fake..
He also told me that they has trouble getting into canada on the british colombia side..LMAO another story,,,,,,
Hugs to you...
Have a great tuesday!

Ok, I understand when a true fan had something signed and is in a financial crunch or just feels that it is time to let a signed item go. However, the bastards that seem to make a pretty good living out of having people (PRIEST!) sign things just to sell it for profit should be relegated to Dante's fourth circle of Hell, IMO. Squandered possessions. Ruins things for the rest of us. No wonder I couldn't get my tuba signed at the meet and greet...
