The music of AC/DC has been certified gold and multiple platinum around the world — and sold over 200,000,000 albums! Recently Vincent, a collector from Belgium, contacted me about his RIAA and In-House awards with questions on insurance value. He sent me pictures and was happy to share them with other collectors. So without further ado, and with thanks to Vincent, take a look. (If you have any questions, feel free to contact Vincent directly.)
