Even if you're not looking for rock music memorabilia that's autographed, you can still find a ton of stuff online. Famous guitar picks obtained at concerts, t-shirts ripped off and thrown into the crowd, and for the true collector, you might even find the water bottle that your favorite artist drank out of at the last show, with their sweat and slobber all over it. Yum, huh?
But seriously, it doesn't matter what kind of rock music memorabilia you want. The internet has created an endless place for the formerly small niche of music collectors to congregate and share items.
Always do your research when buying signed rock music memorabilia and other autographs. See who you are buying from and what they sell, if the price is to good to be true then it mostly likely is and the item is fake. There are plenty of honest dealers out there in the world, and it may take a couple searches to find one. Be patient when buying an item that costs thousands of dollars.
Many people use the anonymity of the internet to run a business and scam people out of money. You should always try to verify the authenticity of the memorabilia before you decide to spend thousands of dollars on that particular piece do your research on the signature and the dealer.
Collecting rock music memorabilia and other fine collectibles is a great way to appreciate your passion for the hobby. Investing in the industry is not cheap especially for those high ticket items.
It can be an expensive hobby, but it's a great one to have. For a true music lover, there's nothing better than holding that guitar that your favorite artist used in a couple of shows and then signed, or hanging that autographed poster on your wall, to remind you of how you met your favorite artist(s).
