Judging from the two video clips, here is a partial inventory of Amber and Matt’s collection:
Guitars (most autographed):
Stevie Ray Vaughan “Number One” replica (not signed I assume)
Pete Townsend
Neil Young
Paul McCartney
Cyndi Lauper
Van Halen
Black Sabbath
Paul Simon
Cat Stevens
Alice In Chains (Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell…)

The Runaways
Michael Jackson Bad

Amber also has a collection of framed book covers, including the two versions of her Never Too Late as well as Matt’s forthcoming memoir You Have No F**king Idea: The Naked Truth About My Life. What is very interesting to me, and quite easy to miss, is that there is also a framed book cover for the book that Matt wrote under the name Grey Baker about a boy who had been sexually abused titled Guys Don’t Rat On Guys. (You can read more about that here.) That in itself isn’t that interesting, but the framed book cover is different from the original book cover, and it lists Matt Baier as the author. Could it be that Matt plans to republish the book under his own name?
Here’s a screen grab tweaked a bit in Photoshop to square it up:
