Autographed Memorabilia at Backstage Auctions Hits Center Stage

Rare Signed Memorabilia from Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Band Highlights the 2012 Rock 'n Pop Auction

No matter what you collect - or who you collect - an autographed item is and always will be a crowning piece in every collection. Not only are the days of 'easy access' long gone, but with more demand than supply, getting your hands on an authentic signature isn't all that easy anymore - especially if you're looking for anything in the A-Level rankings.

"Sure, autographs are readily available, you can find them 24/7 on a host of websites these days, but the question always is 'How do I know I'm getting the real deal'?" says Jacques van Gool, owner of Backstage Auction. "We have always been extremely careful in accepting signed items, which is why we - from day one when we started our business - decided to only accept consignments from musicians or those professionally active in the music industry. That way we have a much, much higher authenticity threshold and can offer, in addition to an autographed item, a peace of mind, which is equally if not more important".

Leading the pack in this auction is a fully signed 'Houses Of The Holy' album by all four Led Zeppelin band members, which is only one of a handful known to be in existence. Collectors of rock memorabilia will know that authentic Led Zeppelin autographs are among the hardest to find and an item like this deserves to be called 'Houses Of The Holy Grail'.

No less impressive is a fully 'Music From The Big Pink' album from 1970, signed by all five members of The Band. Very few pieces that contain all five original 'John Hancock's' are known to be in circulation, and with only two surviving members of this legendary Woodstock outfit, this piece is certain to get a lot of attention.

Collectors will have little trouble to rally behind a cool Rolling Stones signed song book, that also contains signatures from back-up singers Lisa Fisher and Blondie Chaplin

or a variety of autographed Pink Floyd memorabilia, which includes a nice selection of anything from a CD, hard cover book, to even a set of highly unique proof prints, which were all signed by David Gilmour.

In all, there are roughly 50 autographed pieces, which can be easily found under the section of "Artist Signed Items".  Each and any of them deserving of a new, appreciative home - and hopefully some wall space! After all, where can you find this many wonderful items at a great price and the knowledge that what you get is 'The Real McCoy'. So fans of Queen, Genesis, Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Elvis Costello, Blondie, Ramones, Joe Cocker, INXS, Jethro Tull, The Kinks, KoRn, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne and on and on - be sure not to pass up on this opportunity. Our crew members pick is this awesome ZZ Top signed drum head - those boys from Texas ROCK!
