Let's Talk About... Diamond Dave: Relatively Worthless
Posted by Andrew R Tonry on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 4:39 PM
So apparently the Rolling Stones are only twice as good as Van Halen, at least judging by the value of their autographs. Trolling Craigslist.org I found this telecaster, signed by the Stones for $799 (with gig bag). But if old dudes aren't your thing, you could pick up this $399 piece of garbage, autographed by the middle aged dudes in Van Halen. Either one would be perfect for your den/sports bar/bedroom in your mom's house--hang that bitch next to your faux-Nascar hood or above your collector's bottle of Cabo Wabo!
Certainly the Van Halen guitar would be a lot cooler with Diamond Dave's John Hancock (and without Alex Van Halen's). It'd probably be worth more too.
Wait, no. Scratch that. I just found this index card, signed by the David Lee Roth on eBay for .99 cents--bidding is still open folks!
The only question left I suppose is how much I'd have to pay for one of Dave's spandex jumpsuits (or perhaps those ass-less chaps in the photo above)?
Zippety BOP!
