Condition
Good to Very Good. The signatures are legible with good contrast against the dark background, but the poster shows slight handling wear.
Rarity
Common for fans of the genre. The band has been active on the nostalgia/festival circuit and signs frequently.
Overall Assessment
A solid, authentic-looking piece of genre-specific memorabilia. At a $10 purchase price, it is an excellent acquisition for a rock collector.
Authenticity Assessment
Likely authentic (confidence: 85%). These are consistent with standard 'meet-and-greet' or contemporary tour signatures.
Signature Style
Casual, fast-paced scrawls typical of backstage signings. Includes Kristy Majors' distinctive initials and various loops for the other members.
Signature Characteristics
Fast, high-velocity strokes with heavy pressure. No evidence of tracing; natural ink flow and overlapping suggest a genuine group signing session.

Silver and Black paint markers/Permanent markers on glossy cardstock
Item Description
Promotional poster for the album 'Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz' featuring the classic lineup imagery.
Estimated Value
$40 - $75 USD (Note: The $10 price shown in the image is a significant bargain)
Comparison to Known Examples
Consistent with contemporary examples found on recent tour merchandise and official webstore items.
Authentication Tips
Look for the specific 'K' formation in Kristy Majors' signature and the fluid, overlapping loops in Steve 'Sex' Summers' hand.
Certification Recommendation
Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) or JSA (James Spence Authentication)
Red Flags
No significant red flags. The variety in ink colors (silver and black) often indicates a group signing environment.
Provenance Notes
Likely obtained at a club performance or a 'Monsters of Rock' style nostalgia festival.
Historical Context
Pretty Boy Floyd were late-era glam metal icons known for their extreme 'big hair' image and their 1989 debut album.
Market Trends
Stable. The 80s glam metal market has a dedicated cult following that keeps values consistent for 'Sunset Strip' era bands.
Investment Potential
Low to Moderate. Primarily a 'fan piece' rather than a high-yield blue-chip investment.
Similar Autographs
Faster Pussycat, L.A. Guns, Tuff, or Vain
Display & Preservation
Frame with UV-protective glass to prevent the silver ink from fading and the black ink from becoming 'ghosted'.
Interesting Facts
The band was often cited as having the most extreme 'glam' look of the entire Sunset Strip scene, often mistaken for women in their early press photos.
