February 10th, 2010 — Celebrity, Celebrity Autographs, Original Autographs, autographs
Right now, collecting rare memorabilia is on the rise, and this particular practice gains even more attention when it comes to collecting rare memorabilia that once belonged to a great singer, actor or actress or some other famous individual that has recently or even not so recently passed away. Why this is so important is because when somebody who is famous passes away, it makes the already rare memorabilia surrounding that person even rarer, since items are now harder to come by and can no longer be produced.
There are a number of different pieces of rare memorabilia that you can collect, such as autographed photographs, autographed pieces of memorabilia, apparel, signed CDs and discs, posters, props and instruments from the stage of a show, signed set lists, props from television shows and movies and so on and so forth. There are really an endless variety of different pieces of rare memorabilia out there – What makes them so rare is whether or not it is easy to find more.
Once a celebrity has passed away, the memorabilia that is signed by them becomes much rarer because no more autographs can be obtained. This is something that you are going to want to consider if you are collecting rare memorabilia. As pieces becoming increasingly rare, they are going to be more expensive and harder to find. If you can get your hands on them as they become rarer, then you will be the one profiting from their worth, rather than being the one struggling to find the pieces of rare memorabilia that you are looking for.
There are a lot of websites on the internet that are offering authentic collections of rare memorabilia pieces from different famous people all throughout the world and the media. It is important when shopping for rare memorabilia that you are cautious of scammers and people that are trying to take your hard earned money. Make sure that any rare memorabilia that you buy is authentic by any possible means before you make the purchase so that you can protect yourself from possibly being ripped off.
There is a large online market for rare memorabilia, just make sure that you are buying legitimate rare memorabilia rather than knock-offs. When you find collectible rare memorabilia online, you should be dealing with authentic dealers that you can trust, or websites where you are protected such as eBay, where if you are ripped off you can get your money back through insurance. It is really important that you protect yourself, because buying a piece of rare memorabilia can be really rewarding, but getting ripped off is anything but.

January 6th, 2010 — Memorabilia, Movie Memorabilia
Movies touch our hearts, inspire our souls and transport us on an incredible journey. It’s no wonder that movie memorabilia has become so incredibly popular throughout the years. You’ll find numerous different types of movie memorabilia that range from simple posters, to theater cards, as well as special set pieces, props, wardrobe and other collectible items from specific productions.
Whenever you are shopping for movie memorabilia, there are a few things to keep in mind. Due to the overwhelming popularity for these kinds of collectibles there is unfortunately a big market for counterfeiters and those that are less than honest. Whether you are collecting movie memorabilia for your own personal enjoyment, or as a serious collector, it pays to have the facts you need on hand to make sure that you are getting an authentic piece of movie history. Here’s what you need to know.
1. Can you trust the seller?
Movie studios will often work with certain sellers on a regular basis when they need to get rid of movie memorabilia. These sellers are usually very trustworthy and have a long history of providing quality collectibles that are authentic and in good condition. If you are really concerned over whether or not you’ll end up with a good piece, it’s probably best to do your shopping with one of these sellers.
However, there are also many small companies or private collectors that have unique pieces or entire collections. They can also have some great authentic movie memorabilia, but you may need to do a little extra legwork to authenticate the pieces. You can find some terrific collectibles through private sales, but you do need to exercise a little caution to make sure that you are getting a good deal.
2. High Ticket items should always be appraised.
It goes without saying that if you are dealing with a high ticket piece of movie memorabilia, it will need to be appraised. This is a smart choice that can save you thousands of dollars. If you are buying your movie memorabilia online, you can actually get an online appraisal in a few hours or days that is generally reliable and will help you determine the actual value of the piece you are looking at.
3. Is the autograph a reprint or is the poster a reprint?
The easy availability of wide format printers, scanners and digital software capable of reproducing old images has meant that there are quite a few reproductions on the movie memorabilia market. If the price for a poster, autographed reprint or something similar is too low, be cautious. Also, you may want to check listings for identical items to see just how many of them are out there. This is a great technique with online auctions that can save you a bundle.
You can easily start collecting movie memorabilia by deciding what type you are interested in, and what movies touched you. From there, you should be able to build up quite a collection of movie memorabilia.
