That’s awesome, and if it’s important to you then the price doesn’t matter because it would be priceless to you. I think it’s amazing!!

I don’t know anyone who would pay $60 for that, but if you like it that’s great. If you got it because you want to flip it, well, good luck with that.

The signatures are printed on there, not hand signed. Still a cool piece.

As long as you feel it was a great value that's all that matters!!

I have something similar from the Blue Angels
Ice_Chemist22@reddit (OP)
Do they offer them every year? Do you have to go to a show to get one?

Mine is from like 1991. I have a personalized signed book too. I'll post pictures of it soon.

The blue angles came up the fence after the airshow and starting signing stuff for everyone. Got their booklet signed with all their signatures

They go to major sponsors, board of directors, and volunteers, mostly.

I thought perhaps that was a photo of the diamond pilots who crashed at Indian Springs in 1982, but it is not.

You bought a cool piece of Americana, but I wouldn't consider it an investment.

I have one of those but it has my name on it and they handed it to me after getting out of Thunderbird #8.
And it’s definitely not an antique 😎
SenselessNumber@reddit
Are they a wet signature or printed? Imo overpaid either way but you overpaid by a lot more if the signatures aren't even wet.

I just threw mine away while cleaning out my parents house.

If it's worth $60 to you, then you did great and you don't need anyone else's approval to enjoy it.

The shop owner must have been THRILLED to get rid of this, especially for 60 bucks ahah
Bugslayer03@reddit
You paid 60 bucks for a couple random pilots signature and an old photo of the thunderbirds.
For being at a random shop, nothing to do with an airshow I wouldve guessed 10 bucks was better.

Well if your name is also Jo Mattie….then yeah…
sharkbite217@reddit
If your name happens to be Mattie Warren also you did awesome!
If not you probably overpaid.
