My husband was given a CD, still in its original plastic wrapper, that is autographed on the plastic by the musician. He was about to open it when he noticed. Is there any value in this; should he never listen to it? Should he slit it open carefully to preserve the autograph?
The CD is "The Annoying Music Show's The Annoying music Show CD" (really!) by Jim Nayder. Whatchoo think?

Who the heck is Jim Nayder, anyway?
I don't think he's anyone TOO famous - so I wouldn't worry about it!
Most of my autographed CDs - were autographed on the front insert - which is how it SHOULD be done anyway. It's almost as if ol' Jim-bo doesn't want you to listen to his CD to have signed the shrink-wrap!

this can have some value to a collector, but unfortunately, all you have is a signed piece of wrapper. Most collectors like to see the signature right on the cd jacket (not on the case).

Its basically junk in the aspect of having some value for resale, but from the aspect of personal value it may have some owrth since you met the fool.......so open it and enjoy

I have sold many CD's that had sig's on either the shrinkwrap or the case for much more than the face value of the CD, so they absolutely DO have value, just not as much as if the sig was on the jacket.
Jacket sigs are worth more than shrinkwrap sigs in most cases.
The only time this does not hold true is when either the album is worth a significant amount more sealed than opened.
