As an investment, I would think not.

You might look on eBay for the prices of memorabilia relating to comparable performers from a few decades before - dunno what "comparable" might be, maybe Lonnie Donegan, the Supremes, Jacqueline du Pre, Sandy Denny, Jimmy Savile, well maybe not that one... I suspect a performer has to be in the Buddy Holly league for fame and early death before you'd get your money back on resale.

How about a communication course?

To tell you the truth, Claire, I think it would be better to save your energy and your money for other things.

Do you have all their recordings? How about making posters, etc from their album art?

Memorabilia from gigs you couldn't get to – worth having??

Hiya,

[apologies for text speak in title, couldn't fit it in]

I'm toying w/ idea of collecting it for my fav. band, who I doubt will be touring for much longer. I've had a look on ebay & found loads – inc. mummers play script (love everything mediaeval as well)– but as I wasn't born when
my favs had their heyday, is it a daft idea?

Seems to be quite expensive, & would take a lot of time & effort – converting £££ to $$$ cos it's on ebay.com/ca etc. rather than ebay.co.uk, +ing it all up etc. but I love said band so much I light up when I even think about seeing them ☻
