Country Music Memorabilia Entertainment Memorabilia
Country music has a solid fan base in the US and a long history. It is a hotbed of memorabilia collecting because the fans are so dedicated. Essentially, country music can be divided into three eras. Early country, starting from the first 1927 recordings of the Carter Family up until the death of Hank Williams Sr. in 1953, a middle period, which ran until the 1980s, then New Country, going from around 1984 to the present day. It will shock no one that the early period that commands the highest prices. The early period had truly iconic figures who shaped the music, like Hank Sr, Jimmie Rogers, Bill Monroe and Tex Ritter. Not much has survived, and what has usually ends up in museums.
Discount & Bargain
A good way to start a country music collection is publicity photos that were (and still are) sent out with promotional records. They’re relatively cheap and fairly easily available. Sometimes they’re even signed. Signed LPs or CDs can still be obtained without breaking the bank, especially those released after the golden age of country music.
Clothing or instruments can be found, but prices can be high, especially for stage outfits, and competition between collectors is intense. Gold and platinum records come up for sale from time to time, but they’re rare. It seems like every major country figure has his or her own museum these days! Obviously, that restricts the amount of memorabilia on the market, and as a general rule means it’s of lesser quality.
