Hi Jesus,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Tank released the song "Close," featuring Mowett, on October 28, 2002, as part of his second studio album, "One Man." While the album itself achieved moderate success, peaking at number 20 on the US Billboard 200 and number 4 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart,
"Close" was not released as a single and did not chart independently.
The market for original recordings hinges on several factors, including the prominence of the artist, the popularity of the songs on the recording, if multiple copies were made and if the recording is in working/playable condition. Without more information, this would have a fair-market value of $200-300 and would bring the most money if sold in an auction of contemporary music.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
