He isn't signing....
So he's stamping a book? Interesting. Haven't seen that before. I've seen them not sign and only agree to photos or whatnot, but never a stamp thing.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

Yeah, weird, huh?
He's trying to force people to buy from his website. The thing is, he's been a good signer for years, so if you really wanted one you can get it.
He's really being sort of a tool, here- just smile and sign and if people make some money, so be it. It's not like he'll be here in twenty years.
He won't sign musical instruments or Zeppelin stuff anymore either.
So he won't sign any Zeppelin vinyl anywhere?
Gotta agree, stamping the book is the lamest thing I've ever heard of. I've seen some pre-sign their books or limit the number the copies they sign but never stamping! I did find out that he is doing another event that week though and that there could be an opportunity there but I'm sure it's going to be you know what show with collectors/dealers/fans, but I might be able to make that one if I can bear it out. I'm thinking if I bring his book I'd have a better chance of that getting signed.
Got this last night. There was a pretty big crowd there and you never know what will happen in those instances, but I'm happy nonetheless.
From what I hear from the "in person" crowd, he doesn't sign Zeppelin stuff anymore. Robert Plant doesn't either.

Maybe this will help...

Sweet!
He had a pretty large turnout I thought compared to a lot of people I've tried. He's interesting because he appeals to the people that like classic rock that are older but also the people born in the 70s and 80s too. Very diverse group.
I've heard of people stamping things before, but never for in-person "stampings". That's nuts.
Does anyone know why Page/Plant won't sign LZ stuff? That seems confusing to me. There's got to be good money to be made there, right?
They hate that people chase them around to sign things that are just getting sold. If having all three of the living members signatures on a Zeppelin album makes it worth a few grand, people will chase them for that. I know a few collectors who don't bother with them anymore because of the change in habits.
Some think Page does it to make his signature more scarce so you'll buy his signed art.
Plant can be a generous signer, just not the Zeppelin stuff.
Page has been quoted as saying, "Yeah, I'm sort of done with that."

He's just cool and cool sells.
If they don't want the resellers out there, then don't sign in public. But to just not sign it at all seems dumb from a business side of things. Set up something with the other guys, you all get the money and the fans can get what they want (assuming they can actually afford it). If the reseller has to pay $XYZA price to get it from the guys the resell value isn't going to be there.
Of course money may not be much of a concern for those guys....
Jimmy Page gets what, $1500 per art print? He has 250 of them for sale...why not do that with the whole band?
