Autographed Tour Card: Hand-Signed by Bill Ward (Black Sabbath)
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of heavy metal, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and modern music history: an original 2017 promotional tour card for Day of Errors, hand-signed and dated in black felt-tip marker by legendary Black Sabbath co-founder and drummer Bill Ward.
As the original powerhouse drummer for Black Sabbath alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler, Bill Ward helped forge the sonic foundations of heavy metal music. His thunderous, jazz-influenced drumming powered genre-defining 1970s landmark albums including Black Sabbath, Paranoid, and Master of Reality. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Ward remains widely regarded as one of the most influential drummers in rock history.
In 2016, Ward formed the heavy rock trio Day of Errors alongside guitarist/vocalist Joe Amodea and bassist/vocalist Nick Diltz. Promoting their December 2017 West Coast tour alongside special guests Witch Mountain, this official promotional card features dates spanning Eugene, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Ventura, and San Diego.
Positioned cleanly along the white lower margin beneath the tour itinerary banner, Bill Ward has rendered a bold signature in black marker ("BW"), adding the hand-penned date inscription "6/2/18". The autographed item comes fully verified with an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA) card from AutographCOA (ACOA) Authentication (Cert. Code: SD63302). Preserved in fine condition with sharp corners, clean white card stock, and crisp printing, this signed tour card serves as an essential centerpiece for Black Sabbath archivists, heavy metal collectors, and rock drum history enthusiasts.
