Detailed Item Description: This is a U.K. A&M Records 100,000 sold award that was manufactured in 1994 making it 28 years old. It is presented to Mark Anderson. It is not known what role Anderson played in the creation or promotion of the release.

This award appears to be in completely original condition, i.e. unaltered components including back with manufacturer's sticker from Century Displays, who also make BPI awards. This award is in VG condition, with only a few very minor mars on the plexiglass.

Notes on the condition of all vintage record awards: 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.
