Just wondering, because of the price of this, is it legit? Also, is it possibly one of the stolen items?

Looks real to me. We've quite a few of these here presented to Townsend Records and our MD etc. Ours are the UK ones of course, but they tend to follow the same official format.

Unfortunately I haven't seen this thread earlier...but I hope none of you bought this award. It is not legit.
1. it has the wrong label. There was no such thing as a red label. The first Bat label was orange. 2. the font on the plaque is not authentic. 3. the frame has not the usual red primer used unter the gold paint. Usually, it always shines through. 4. the sticker on the back of the award says that it was made by the frame shop New York Frame&Picture. Indeed, the real awards were manufactured by a framer named Creative Glassics. Even though there were Bat awards by NY F&P the would have other frames. On the attached link you can see an authentic Bat award. So you can compare the differences. As far as I know Meat doesn't care much about his sales awards (neither does Steinman) but he still owns his RIAA gold award for Bat. I am an award collector and I'd really love to make some contacts here. Maybe some of you share the same hobby. Currently I have two 12xplatinum RIAA awards for Bat and two 4xplatinum for Bat II and I'd like to trade them. http://honormusicawards.com/meat-loa...ues/#more-1477 |

Yes, indeed. I was thinking about writing the comment anyway...
As far as I remember it went for 550 euros. Although it is less than the half of the original price (seller offered me the award for 1300 euros!!! before putting it on ebay) but still a lot of money, even for a real award. Perhaps some people have wrong imaginations about the value of a real industry award. One example: I bought a Canadian platinum award from 1978 for about 60 dollars. Shipping was almost as much as the award itself....=) |

As far as "real value" goes I'm sure I've got stuff cheap as much as I'm sure I've overpaid for other items. Then again I'm a Meat Loaf collector not a music memorabilia collector with an eye on a profit. |
