What is an original autographed CD?

An original autographed CD is an official musical medium on which the artist has personally placed their signature, directly on the cover or booklet. It differs from printed reproductions by the three-dimensionality and natural irregularity of the marker stroke, an unmistakable sign of a handwritten autograph. When the signature is accompanied by the MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and the Certificate of Authenticity (COA), the collectible and sentimental value of the piece significantly increases, transforming a simple album into a unique and unrepeatable object, linked to a specific moment in the artist's career.
