Autographed Music Memorabilia Allows You to Own a Piece of History

In November 2010, the Dave Matthews Band played the last stop on their U.S. tour in Charlottesville, Virginia, the city that gave them their start. It was the kind of moment that collectors of autographed music memorabilia dream about. Within hours, the concert posters from that tour date were selling on eBay for 10 times their original selling price of $40 each. The reason? Methane Studios, who often does the concert posters for the band, had goofed up and added a third T to the name of the city. The Charlottesville Dave Matthews Band concert posters made music history, and a handful of happy autographed music memorabilia collectors scored a lovely find.

Finds like the Dave Matthews posters aren't unheard of in the field of music collectibles, but they're rare, and when they happen they tend to make a splash. Music fans have been collecting autographs, photographs and signed concert memorabilia of their favorite bands for as long as there have been popular artists.

Signed photos are especially popular, but autographs aren't required to make turn a rare photo of a musical artist into a collectors' item. Dave Matthews fans who missed out on the pricey extra-T concert poster, for example, could console themselves with a Dave Matthews Band photo or other Dave Matthews photos, with or without signatures. If you buy from a reputable dealer, the photos will come with a certificate of authenticity to prove that the autographs - or sometimes, the photographs themselves - are genuine.

Often, concert photos of the most popular musical artists are framed with other pieces of their musical history. Elvis photos, for example, may be framed along with a piece of a garment he wore in concert or include tickets from one of his shows, with or without signatures. Other autographed music memorabilia might include signed concert photos, autographed guitar picks and even autographed guitars.

Of course, music didn't stop with Elvis, and music collectibles have kept pace with the newest stars and artists. If you're decorating a club or teen hangout, you'll find Jonas Brothers concert posters and Justin Bieber signed guitars and concert pics to hang on the walls. From pictures of Kid Rock to photo montages of rock legends Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones, you're bound to find something that will suit any décor, from the club to your living room.

Decorating with autographed music memorabilia allows you to bring star quality into your living room or home theater, but they offer so much more. Aside from decorating your walls with style, autographed music memorabilia are often excellent investments that will increase in value over the years. Those framed and signed pictures of Kid Rock that you buy for your best friend's first apartment could become the cornerstone of a valuable collection of autographed music memorabilia in the future.

While some dealers specialize in autographed collectibles in one genre or type of music or performance, there are many dealers of autographed music memorabilia who have a broad range of knowledge across all types of performance and music memorabilia. Make a point of purchasing any autographed music memorabilia from a reputable dealer so that you can be sure that you're purchasing genuine autographs and photos.
