These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 20 to 50-year-old award purported to be in 100% perfect condition, it might be too good to be true. After all, an antique should have "good' wear. If not, you might want to question the piece. As to where they came from, they could have been displayed in record label offices, recording studios, artist manager's offices, radio stations, private collector's homes and yes, of course, possibly the artist's or songwriter's home. Typically, we don't know all the places they may have been over the years other than what we've stated in the description. Finally, a word on photos: Our photos are zoomable so you can get a very good look. Do let us know if you want photos of any other details on our pieces and we'll be happy to provide. *CRIA sales data source: musiccanada.com CRIA Gold album award In Good to VG conditio First presentation award from 1981 Presented to artist management company Award measures approx. 16.25" x 20" Great collectors item for any Blondie fa FREE insured shipping to U.S. and Canada US$30 shipping to Canada (Canadian residents please email us at support@musicgoldmine.com to purchase with this shipping price) Other international shipping available
