This award measures approximately 44” x 23”. It’s huge! Almost 4 feet long. Its a beautiful award and will be pricy for me to ship. It will be well packed.
This is an authentic record award, not a fake, a copy, merchandise manufactured to be sold to fans or a homemade framed album made to look like a real award. This is the real thing, a part of music history. In very good condition for its age few a few nicks here and there, as pictured.
