January 11th, 2012 — Beatles Memorabilia, Memorabilia, Music Memorabilia, Rock and Pop
Out of all of the rock groups that rose to prominence in the 1960’s, none took the world by storm quite like The Beatles and since then, Beatles memorabilia has been a hot commodity. There are fans that have built up incredible collections throughout the years and when something does come up for auction, the reaction is usually incredible. If you are just getting into collecting Beatles memorabilia, there are quite a few different things that you can collect.
First, there are the limited edition LP’s, or the rare ones that still have all of their original covers and artwork. These are a rare piece of Beatles memorabilia that are still affordable for most collectors. If you do find an LP, it’s best to keep it safe and not to play it, since it can reduce the overall value. Look for an LP that is not scratched if at possible, and ideally, it would have never been used. The cover should be easy to read and in very good shape as well. If you can find this kind of Beatles memorabilia, you’re really in for a treat.
Next up, you can find Beatles memorabilia in the form of rare recording, both audio and video. These are a lot of fun to collect and many people have found that their private selection of audio tapes or even old videos are worth quite a bit of money. From pieces that were actually filmed by fans to old studio copies that are worth a mint, this is a great type of Beatles memorabilia that is very popular.
The 1960’s also brought in the advent of merchandising and Beatles memorabilia is no stranger to this. You can find literally thousands of different types of merchandising collectibles, from lunch boxes, to maps, posters, thermoses and everything else under the sun. These are generally worth less money that the usual audios or LP’s, but every once in awhile you can come across a great find. Look for merchandising collectibles that are either still in their original packaging, or those that are in very good shape.
Last but not least, autographs and photos are probably the most popular and valuable type of Beatles memorabilia. If you are just interested in getting an autograph for your own personal collection, they are not that hard to maintain and some may not be that expensive. However, for the true collector, it can take years to find the right Beatles memorabilia and autographs, especially if you are trying to build up a collection of all four, or even one that may include the legendary “fifth Beatle.”
The Beatles touched the hearts and minds of many generations and there are few groups that could lay claim to such a worldwide phenomenon. Whether you were a fan back then, or you’ve become a fan now, collecting Beatles memorabilia is a great way to express that appreciation of a group that changed the face of the music industry as we knew it.

October 26th, 2011 — concert memorabilia, Memorabilia, rock and roll
One of the types of collections that is gaining in popularity right now is collecting concert memorabilia. This is because every band seems to be going on tour these days, and in their wake they are all leaving plenty of autographed concert memorabilia for collectors to snap up, stuff into creative display cases and fawn over for the foreseeable future. Many people are beginning to wonder how they can get started in the world of collecting concert memorabilia, not only when it comes to modern day memorabilia, but also autographs and rare pieces of rock and roll music memorabilia from the past as well. Here are some considerations that you need to be willing to make when it comes to concert memorabilia collecting.
- * First and foremost, you need to understand how supply and demand works. Autographed concert memorabilia is definitely a great collectible, but it is limited by supply and demand. You need to make sure that you are collecting the pieces of autographed concert memorabilia that are demanded by fans, in other words. The best way for you to collect autographed pieces of concert memorabilia is to get them yourself when a particular music artist appears because this way you can verify their authenticity.
If you have pieces of concert memorabilia that are numbered with a certificate of authenticity, then you should be looking for the lower numbers. Typically when the COA number is lower, the item is going to be more valuable. In other words, if you have two pieces of signed concert memorabilia, and they have numbers 1 of 100 and 50 of 100, the 1 of 100 piece of concert memorabilia is going to be the more valuable piece of concert memorabilia for you to keep in your collection. The other piece of memorabilia will also be worthwhile, but it will not be as valuable.
- * If you are purchasing a limited edition piece of autographed concert memorabilia, then be aware that this piece should be accompanied by documentation that declares its authenticity as well as what number in the series it is. If the piece itself does not have a number on it, then the certificate of authenticity will, because this is how they keep track of how many of a certain piece of concert memorabilia were made, and who owns which ones.
- * Another consideration that you need to make is the correlation between age and beauty when it comes to purchasing and collecting concert memorabilia. Older is generally going to be more valuable, but if the item is no longer good quality, then it may have lost some of its value. The fastest way for you to protect and preserve your concert memorabilia is to frame it or collect it in display cases here it can be kept free from dust and other damage.
