Help!! Fair price for damaged debut?
NOT THE SELLER!!
I found this self titled booklet for sale for $377 (usd)
It's obviously damaged on the outside as well as having what looks like water damage inside, along with her picture cut out of the "a place in this world" lyric page (which obviously impacts the teardrops page too)
I had resigned myself to never owning anything signed from this era (and many others pre folklore) as I'm just not willing to spend the going price.
This is something I could realistically afford, and could potentially sell some of my records to recoup the loss.
My question is: is it absurd to spend ~$400 on a beat to shit lyric booklet? Just feels like I'II never see anything signed from this era for this "low" of a price again.
Really just looking for opinions from you all. This would be for my personal collection, I’m not interested in reselling for a profit.
Been a fan since ~2008 but didn’t/couldn’t start collecting signatures until folklore, when I had my own money to spend. All of my Taylor signatures came directly from her site so I’ve never paid more than face value, which is quite a ways from $400.
Any insight appreciated!
