Detailed Item Description: This is a first presentation RIAA 2x Multi-Platinum album award that would have been manufactured aaround 2017 since the award also celebrates the group's 40th anniversary (Def Leppard was formed in 1977). That would make the award around five years old. It is presented to CSM Management, managers at the time of Def Leppard, Stevie Nicks and Lenny Kravitz.

The award is in Excellent condition with only a few very minor mars on the frame and plexiglass. The award also has its original backing paper with Metro Pro manufacturer sticker.

Notes on the condition of all vintage RIAA awards like this one: Please do not buy this item if you want a brand new piece of memorabilia. 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.
