Music memorabilia has always been popular, and although we associate it primarily with today’s rock and pop musicians, the practice of collecting items for musicians and groups dates back many hundred years. In fact, in Japan, before mass printing was used on a wide scale, it was common to have artists actually create posters of popular figures. Now, it’s a lot easier to collect and afford music memorabilia and it is more popular than ever. Let’s take a look at some of the best kinds of collectibles that are available right now.
Rock, Pop
By far, this is the most popular form of music memorabilia. You can find items from your favorite artists and bands very easily and there are many different types of items that you can collect. The most popular forms are t-shirts, posters, signed photographs as well as special collectibles that can usually only be found at concerts. While many of these items are more novelty items than actual collectibles, if they do carry an original autograph, they will be worth more money. The star that signs it will also determine just how much a piece of memorabilia may be worth.
Country
It may not be as universally loved as rock or pop, but country music is quickly growing in popularity. As a result the music memorabilia for country artists is also becoming more valuable. Once again, the most popular forms are tshirts and posters, but you can also find a few unique items on sale every once in awhile. Signed cowboy hats are very popular, and many stars are putting out their own lines of clothing, boots and hats, as well as special collector’s editions pick-up trucks.
Opera
When you think of the opera, one of the last things that springs to mind is memorabilia, but you may be surprised to learn that there is a very dedicated, albeit small, group of people that do collect opera memorabilia. This market trends towards signed programs or pictures. Many of these items are only available at high-end auctions.
Musicals
In the past fifty years, Broadway musicals have become a very important part of American culture, and you can find many different types of music memorabilia for this genre. Since props are so integral to performances, at the end of a run, many will be signed by the cast and auctioned off. Lobby cards, posters, programs and special autographed pictures of the stars are also very popular.
Jazz
Even though the jazz movement is small, the fans are die-hard and there are many great unique forms of music memorabilia connected with this movement. For example, B.B. King released a collectible, signed guitar that sold very well. Most of these items are directly related to the music and posters are generally not as common, unless they are signed.
If you’re trying to find music memorabilia, the best places to look are at music stores, second hand shops and of course, online auctions. Flea markets and garage sales are another great place to find unique items that may even be rare.
