Early 2000s (Released February 2001). Dating clue: The group debuted their hit 'Around the World (La La La La La)' in late 2000.
Material
Standard polycarbonate compact disc housed in a polystyrene jewel case with paper insert and back inlay.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The jewel case shows visible surface scratching and scuffs. The signatures are on the front insert and appear bold with no significant fading. Disc condition is unknown but likely matching the outer case wear.
Demand Level
Niche. High appeal to collectors of Eurodance, 2000s memorabilia, and pop music enthusiasts, but a small overall buyer pool.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$25.00 - $65.00. (The CD alone is worth $3-8; the value is entirely in the four group signatures).
Estimated Retail Value
$14.99 - $17.99 (Original 2001 MSRP)
Comparable Sales
Unsigned copies sell for $5-$10. Similar signed Eurodance group CDs (vengaboys, Aqua) sell in the $40-$80 range depending on the rarity of a full-band signature set.
Description
Authentic signed copy of ATC's debut studio album 'Planet Pop'. Features the international hit 'Around the World (La La La La La)'. The front cover insert has been hand-signed in black marker by all four original members: Joseph 'Joey' Murray, Sarah Egglestone, Livio Salvi, and Tracey Elizabeth Packham. Standard US/European jewel case release.
Key Features
Hand-signed by the complete original lineup; Y2K Eurodance nostalgia appeal; features a top 10 Billboard hit; autograph scarcity for this specific group in the US market.
Authenticity Indicators
Signature styles match known examples from 2001-era promotional tours; marker 'overlap' and pressure points indicate natural hand-signing rather than a print. Confidence Level: Medium-High.
Flaws to Note
Heavy scuffing and micro-scratches on the plastic jewel case (can be replaced with a fresh case); slight edge wear on the paper insert; no Certificate of Authenticity (COA) included.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary venue for signed media. Discogs is an alternative, though they have stricter rules regarding signed items being listed under standard entries.
Selling Tips
Replace the damaged jewel case with a brand new, high-quality clear one to make the item look 'Like New.' Take a clear, glare-free close-up of the signatures. Use keywords: 'ATC Signed', 'Eurodance', 'Around the World', 'Autographed CD', 'Y2K Nostalgia'.
