Music & Film Memorabilia
Always a popular department due to its eye into cultural and societal history, memorabilia is a field of collecting that continues to grow every year. Whether it is music memorabilia from from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie and other greats, or film posters, lobby cards, and collectables from the cult classics such as James Bond, Star Wars, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, or even the classic Hammer Horror films or iconic musicals - there is always a collector for great memorabilia - and Wessex Auctions love to sell it!
Memorabilia items that are popular at auction include music and film posters, autographs, instruments, movie props & scripts, items previously owned by performers, concert programmes & tickets, badges, t-shirts, handbills, flyers and more. Over the years we have been privileged to look after many large collections including the closing down of cinemas and theatres, personal collections of performers as well as single items from the private collector. We have previously sold Jimi Hendrix’s lucky silver dollar which he carried in his pocket for many years, a piece of card signed by John Lennon while filming A Hard Days Night and a collection of over 1000 original UK Quad film posters from a local cinema.
We hold six memorabilia auctions each year and are accepting entries Monday to Friday 9am-5pm with no appointment necessary. We love to see new items and collections and our specialist valuers are always available to offer free no obligation advice either at our auction house, via email or by arranging a home visit appointment. We can travel across Europe so you are never too far away.
As well as being open for room bidders, commission bidders and telephone bidders, all of our auctions have online bidding facilities via two auction platforms, which when combined with our extensive database of worldwide memorabilia collectors ensure that your items are offered for sale to the widest possible market creating every opportunity to obtain the best possible price.
