About 10 years ago in my party days I got Lars Ulrich ( Metallica) 's autograph on a piece of lines paper ( It was crumpled though) and David Lee Roth on a ciggarette cover. Just wondering if they would be worth anything at all?

The person who put the rude comment should be reported but I won't .I was not a groupie . I just knew alot of musicians and hung around alot of places that musicians were. D L Roth actually played in a small but famous bar that I used to go to.

Unless you have a photo that also documnets that you got the actual persons signature, there's no way to prove that Lars or David Lee signed it. Since you are the only one who knows it's real, then it should be priceless to you!

Unless you have photo/video proof they aren't worth anything, except to people that don't have a clue how often they are faked. I'm not saying that yours is fake... but they are fakes more often than not. Also being that they are still alive, would lessen the value, being that they aren't popular now also hurts, the fact that they did sign millions of autographs and are still signing them(if they can find anyone that wants one) hurts really bad.
Things that make autographs woth money? Rarity, a celeb that almost never signed them, and is dead, and is VERY popular.
For instance... Billy Corgan (I hate this punk I am just using him as an example) said that he would never sign anyones guitar (like fans guitars)because he didn't want it just sold for profit and have some people ripped off with fakes (if he never signed any... people would know that they were all fakes). Now say that he used only one guitar his entire career and then he signed it and gave it to his budding guitar player son before leaving on his first world tour after reuniting the stupid pumpkins and people were actually waiting in awe for the concert and the album was about to be released and all the venue dates were sold out and scalped tickets were going for $2000 for bleeders (i know this is hard to imagine but try), and he died on the plane trip back home after finishing the tour on his way to see his son again. That autograph would be worth money.
On the other hand my friend bought some signature series Ibanez guitar brand new the day the music shop had the guitarist that it was named after in for signing autographs. A crap load of people got autographs and my friend bought the guitar new from the store on the spot, had it signed and returned it to the case, never played. 5 years later, the band and guitarist were long forgotten and my bud called around shops to see if it was worth anything... they all told him the same thing... if he could clean the autograph off (written in marker) it would be worth more money and no one was interested in buying it with the autograph on it. That was how many guitars he had signed.
Sorry but your two fall into this category. But hey you have a remineder of your days of being a heavy metal $lut and getting back stage access to two hot music groups(of the day) just for blowing the roadies.

e-bay has about 4,000 autographs listed for sale. There is an autographed photo of Lars that is $2.
The Roth one might be worth something though, browse through e-bay ans see if you find anything comparable.

Not to me. About 20 years ago a buddy gave me a Tommy Lee autograph on a matchbook cover and about a week later he asked for it back. I gave it back because there are millions of celebrity autographs floating around so they must be a dime a dozen.

I would announce those on ebay, and wait till you star receiving proposals, you can open a bidding regularly and they start offering you sell as high or as low as you wish...
Very difficult to estimate the value of that but you can also just get a good idea...

There are many people that would love to buy them. Save them, you never know what the value will be when those guys pass. Keep them in a sealed ziplock bag away from light.

To you they should be worth alot, but if someone were to want to buy them, you wouldn't get very much money at all, because you have no proof that it was really them that signed it.

My guess- no. not worth much. For starters, both artists are still alive....
