IRON MAIDEN: Autographed 1980 Christmas Card Sells For More Than $800 - Dec. 15, 2012
According to Ultimate Classic Rock, a vintage 1980 Christmas card was signed by all five members of IRON MAIDEN — vocalist Paul Di’Anno, bassist Steve Harris, guitarists Adrian Smith and Dave Murray, and drummer Clive Burr — was sold last month for $837.50 on eBay. The four-inch-by-six-inch artwork depicts the bands' mascot, Eddie, with a blood-stained guitar and portrays Santa Claus slain at his feet. The inside of the card, which was issued as a holiday promo prior to singer Bruce Dickinson's coming into the picture, reads: "A Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Oh-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo."

Di'Anno recorded two classic albums with IRON MAIDEN before being fired and replaced by Bruce Dickinson. He went on to front a number of other bands, including KILLERS and BATTLEZONE, and released several solo records.

Burr joined IRON MAIDEN at the very end of December 1979 and played on the first three albums — "Iron Maiden", "Killers" and "Number Of The Beast" — and toured extensively with the band over this groundbreaking period before leaving in early 1983. For the past decade, he has been battling multiple sclerosis — a disease of unknown cause. The disorder is causing him intermittent numbness and can affect his balance.

$800 for vintage sigs that could be cut into one hell of a display piece? Priceless for the true Maiden fan.

Di'Anno is on it so you know it's definately worth it. One of the best metal vocalists of all time, in those years.

I love Maiden as much as the next guy, but they are just other human beings. I'd take that $800 and buy groceries for my kids, not some dumb fucking card.

Dickinson and Mcbrain could not have done better on those first 2 albums. and I actually think Burr overall was better than Mcbrain(!!!!) maybe, although could he come up with the legendary tear inducing beauty, that was the drums on Where Eagles Dare?....
OK OK maybe Burr not better than McBrain....
thoughts anyone?
p.s. Janick Gers, SHITTER THAN SHIT.

just a recollection,
how fucking good was Dianno on Strange World?! Fucking gorgeous vox! what a song no?
And howsabout Burr`s groovetastic drumming on Another Life.
Denis Stratton`s PHAT guitar sound was also kickass!
So amazing those 1st 2 albums!
how they could release DoD, Xfactor, VXI, FotD afterwards, Dio only knows.....
and lets be honest, Final Frontier was balls as well :) apart from ADrian Smith on the last track. :)
Your mum

Not fat at all because I feed them quality food like organic fruit and vegetables, which costs a little more than the steady diet of MacDonald's cheeseburgers your kids are likely fed on. Idiot.
