Memorabilia Historian

Memorabilia -> Music Memorabilia -> Rock, Pop-> Bon Jovi

One of the biggest rock bands of the 1980’s is still popular today and as such, many people are still trying to find their posters. Whether you are a new fan of the group, or you remember a certain poster that you had of them back in the 1980’s or 1990’s, it’s a lot of fun to see if you can track down a Bon Jovi poster for your own private collection. These may not be incredibly valuable when it comes to actual price, but when it comes to emotional value, they are very valuable indeed to many collectors.

Before you purchase a Bon Jovi poster, here are a few things to think about.

1. What is the overall condition of the poster?

In order to make sure that you will be getting the best value for your money, you’ll need to make sure that the Bon Jovi poster is in good condition. Try to find one that does not have rips or tears, or any tape marks on it. If the poster is used, that may be pretty hard, but you can come across some every once in awhile. Ideally, the poster should not be used, but those can be nearly impossible to find.

2. Is the Bon Jovi poster autographed?

In order to get a poster that is really valuable, it’s a good idea to see if you can find one that has been autographed. These can be worth thousands, depending on the condition of the poster and when it was signed. If you’re serious about collecting this type of memorabilia, it’s best to hold off and wait for that autographed copy. You may end up paying a little more for it initially, but it will be worth more over time, especially if you keep it in good condition.

3. Is the poster original?

This has become quite a problem lately, thanks to the wide availability of wide format printers and graphic artists. In order to make sure you are getting an authentic Bon Jovi poster, you may need to research the seller and ask to see a copy of the back of the poster before you buy it. If the price seems to be a bit low, or if the seller has several copies of the same poster for sale, chances are it is a reproduction and although you may find it valuable personally, it’s overall value will be nil.

4. When was the poster made?

The newer Bon Jovi posters aren’t worth as much as the ones that were produced when the band first made it big. In order to make sure you are getting a great deal, look for older posters from the 1980’s. They are not the easiest to find, but you will be able to score a great deal if you do come across one.

Start shopping for your Bon Jovi poster and see if you can’t uncover a rare deal – or even a signed copy for your collection.
