By Heather Coombes


Music can be a universal language. There are many different classes of people who can use music and memorabilia to start conversations and initiate friendships. Music autographs, rock memorabilia, signed guitars autographed by iconic music legends and authentic autographs are a major commodity. Having these items on display can be a great idea and can be a nostalgic conversation piece.

Collections of memorabilia and autographed guitars have increased in popularity and given Collectors the ability to throw parties that can increase their own personal popularity. Sometimes this is all it takes to have a great evening discussing stories of the "first time I learned to drive, I listened to Santana..." Owning a piece like this can provide for a lively discussion.

When speaking in terms of pop culture, having a highly coveted item can mean an increase in an individuals popularity. Purchasing a signed guitar by Pop Icons like Elvis Presley, Jimmy Hendrix and Michael Jackson can demand premium pricing due to the limited availability of the item. The authentication process of these items are guaranteed through a certificate of authentication.

Reputable Memorabilia dealers have offered a letter or certificate of authenticity, in order to ensure the item is genuine. It is very important to work with these type of dealers so that the collection or item purchased retains the value. A serious collector can help the item increase in value by dealing with these companies exclusively.

These coveted pieces can include authentic autographs from popular musicians like Michael Jackson, that have passed away. These are the musicians and bands whose following and fan base has grown even larger since their deaths. Many popular bands like the Beatles, The Grateful Dead, and individual artists like Jimmy Hendrix can be purchased at a higher price due to the popularity.

When a signed guitar is sold, these guitars are normally displayed in a shadow box. These boxes properly present the item for viewers and other fans. Larger collections may contains pieces from current popular musicians to ones that are deceased. Signed albums are great for guests at informal parties to discuss. It is these meetings that initiate a clever conversation regarding an individual and their musical interests.

The interest in a particular Music Autograph can increase if a piece of memorabilia has been signed by an artist who is deceased. Collectors have often used this factor in pricing an item for sale. A highly marketable item can mean the difference of hundreds of dollars in price to thousands.

Premium pieces that command top dollar can always command varied responses and a lot of attention. These pieces can be items like a signed guitar by the late Elvis Presley. Or the flashy white diamond studded outfit that he later became well known for. There are also museums all over the world that feature fun and interesting pieces that have guests visiting to catch a glimpse of history.

Collectors all over the world, may even work together to find the rare Music Autographs from deceased band members, musicians and artists. When these items have been secured they become conversation pieces that many other fans can admire.
