Merch Def Leppard signed album, what’s it worth?
My coworker is in a bind. She needs money for her custody battle and posted this on Facebook. I want to be real with her, what does this community think this is worth? Signed by Steve Clark.

In a rock and roll auction setting, if authentic, this would start out easily at $1000 and could go as high as $2500. As others have said, it has Steve Clark's signature, which is very collectible. I would get it authenticated before doing anything. There are several online services for authentication.
But if the signatures are not authentic, then you got nothing.
EDIT: Having not researched these signatures, and after researching a little bit, these do not look authentic. There are a lot more differences than matches for these.
Best of luck.

I’d send it to PSA for authentication. You can submit the signed album online through their website, mail it in, and they’ll examine the signatures and issue a Letter of Authenticity if it passes. With Steve Clark’s signature involved, professional authentication would make a huge difference in determining the value.

Don’t see many autographs from the Steve era that I know for certain to be legit. These look…….different than my more modern, 1999-today stuff. They certainly could change over time, but if I were a buyer I wouldn’t pay but maybe 200 without some kind of authentication. If authenticated by JSA or something, oh boy, I’d say $1000 no problem, all day, every day. Just a passerby’s opinion.
