Manny's Auctions off Autographed Pictures

Definitely some cool stuff in here. I'm curious to see what some of them will go for.

The homepage has the info on the auction.

(Apologies if this was posted before. I searched.)

Buying an autograph which I personally didn't get myself is weird to me.

^^^ Kind of agree with you, but I look at it as a piece of Manny's history (and rock history), not just an autograph. Although, I would prefer the ones that are not addressed to Manny's or Henry.

I think the Astrid Kirchherr collection also being auctioned is more significant.

Yeah, I'd be curious about that as well. The last time I was in Manny's was a month or so before it closed and I recall it was still there at that time.

Still hard to believe Manny's is closed and gone.

Doesn't speak well for guitar shops and/or for guitars/gear overall.

Things are changing for sure.

Me too, I would often walk around and just check out the photos.

It's still there, hanging in a case on the wall in the "Sam Ash"

absolutely. especially since it includes the negatives and the rights to that picture for any profits and distribution rights, etc.

this one is important:



But still, the Manny stuff is fun.
