Surgical Steel Memorabilia Appraisal

Signed Carcass 'Surgical Steel' Framed Commemorative Display

This item is a professionally framed music memorabilia display featuring the 2013 studio album 'Surgical Steel' by the British extreme metal band Carcass. The display is housed in a contemporary rectangular black wooden or composite frame with a deep shadowbox-style profile. Centered within the display are two primary elements: a printed compact disc (CD) on the left and a square art card on the right, both featuring the album's anatomical heart artwork. The art card is distinguished by the presence of four distinct hand-signed autographs in black permanent marker, likely corresponding to band members Bill Steer, Jeff Walker, Daniel Wilding, and Ben Ash (the lineup active during the album's release cycle). The background consists of a black textured matting that provides a high-contrast backdrop for the vibrant red, yellow, and metallic tones of the artwork. The Nuclear Blast Records logo is clearly visible on the CD surface, confirming the label of origin. The condition appears to be excellent, with the frame protecting the signatures from environmental wear or ink fading. The glass or acrylic glazing is clean, and the assembly suggests a high-quality presentation intended for collectors. This piece dates to approximately 2013-2014, coinciding with the album's promotion, and serves as a significant piece of modern death metal history.
