Music Autographs Forge Friendships

By Emily Dugas


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.

These special items can be bought and sold either online or in person at Rock & Roll memorabilia stores worldwide. The availability of these items can be limited for pieces signed by deceased musicians. Through careful research and a dedicated search, any individual can start a collection to display their own affection for the musician or band.

Friends have been made due to the speed and ease of use that the internet provides. Sharing similar interests has been a key factor in these friendships. Similar interests in items that can become collectibles have produced the same results. People who love the same thing tend to find each other.

Any items that have been signed by musicians or band members who have died can increase the value of the item. In large collections these items can be very expensive depending on the demand and popularity of the artist. For example, any memorabilia that is signed by the late Michael Jackson has been selling for a premium since his death in 2009.

In dealing with companies that sell these items, it is always advised to work with companies that have a solid reputation and have been in business for years. Any of these businesses can and will offer a certificate to ensure that it the item has a real signature.

The importance of working with these businesses can mean that any piece that is purchased will hold the original value. The dealers with the best reputation have been in business for years and can offer a certificate of authenticity. When considering value, the memorabilia can increase in value as well, when the item is properly authenticated.

Signed guitars have been rising in popularity. The attraction of these particular pieces would be in how it is displayed. Guitars that are signed are prominently featured in shadow boxes with a photo or album of the artist. The shadow box is a smart way of promoting an individuals interest in the artist, band or musician.

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.

Rock memorabilia has the ability to influence guests at parties to speak openly about their own musical preferences. It serves as a reminder of fond memories and important life events like that of a first love and someones wedding day. Music autographs can bring up the same feeling of nostalgia and promote a fun conversation throughout the evening. The advantage to owning a music autograph, can start a fun exchange of stories between guests at all formal and informal gatherings.
