Up for autographed copy of Mirror Traffic by Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks! The record was autographed in person by Stephen Malkmus at his October 12 2011 show of his tour in Vancouver B.C. This is a pretty cool and rare collectors item because Stephen Malkmus signed his full name and most commonly he only signs as "Stephen". Definitely a must have for any Malkmus and Pavement collector.
The item's in great condition and essentially just sat on a shelf all these years, but upon observation, I noticed one side of 1 vinyl has some issues. Firstly, it features 2 labels stuck atop of one another so it's kind of raised with some bubbling and there's a slight tear on the edge. I'm guessing someone initially applied the wrong sticker label. Secondly there's 2 pretty significant scratches on the same side. I've never even played the vinyls, so this must have been something that occurred in the factory (the worker at Matador records must have been stoned) or perhaps along the travels of the tour at some point. I document the 2 scratches in the photographs. The record also still comes with the free high quality digital download key as I never claimed it.
With all that said, it's one of the rarer Stephen Malkmus records on the market and I've never seen another signed one come on the market so this is an incredibly rare collectors item.
Best of luck to the bidders.
