Re: My GNR Collection - WARNING LOTS OF PICS
Coz he was tour manager? lol You make a good point.
I had heard that only the band members and Niven got one.
However, when I showed this pic to someone in the know they were quite surprised. Although they did mention that Doug used to really covet these things, so they wouldn't have put it past him to organise one for himself too after the fact.
I had heard a story where he got most put out when he was informed that Golden Reel Awards only went to those creatively involved with the album. 
The seller also had this Aussie award presented to Goldstein (the one with the Roses) really cool. 
You see a pic of Axls in the Robert John book. Axl is lying on the floor with awards all around him. Again only originally presented to the band and Niven. Somehow Dougie ended up with one too.
Sadly I missed out on buying it, by the time the seller responded that he would ship it overseas someone had bought it. This is also an Aussie award. If the buyer ever reads this - I'm keen to buy it from you!! 
I suppose it's no different to Tower Records or Adam Day or Craig Duswalt (Axl's personal assistant) etc getting awards presented to them also for albums they had no direct hand in writing, recording, or mixing etc. I suppose it's recognition of them working behind the scenes.

Re: My GNR Collection - WARNING LOTS OF PICS
How the hell did you get them?
Oh and Dougy Goldstein with his awards, thats hilarious. No wonder Slash loathes that guy.
I got one through a collector who managed to score about 6 of them. The other one I bought on ebay for a Buy It Now price of $9.99 US. 
I know I couldn't believe it when I saw it either!!
