Music memorabilia is something special. It gives us a place in music history and helps us think about where you sit in terms of the grand scheme of things. When we hold onto something used by Jimmy Page or Elvis Presley, we are holding onto something used by rock royalty. It makes us feel special, it makes us feel a connection to those individuals and it makes us happy to think that in the grand scheme of things, we hold onto something special. We are a keeper of rock history, and that helps to give our lives some sort of meaning.

The question is then raised by those who want to be a part of music history, where do you find music memorabilia? Well, when you want used music memorabilia, you simply have to look in the right places, and often the right place is on the internet.

Online you will find countless sites that cater to the historian in all of us, offering to sell cherished items of rock for rock-bottom prices. Looking at those sites, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the amount of rock memorabilia you can buy, from something mundane like a drumstick used by Keith Moon in 1972 at a concert in New Jersey, to something iconic like the signed sheet music to Yesterday by The Beatles.

Of course, with that comes different prices. Something like the drumstick will cost you about $20 bucks, but the signed sheet music will probably cost you $20,000. It is all relative to the impact it had on music and the impact the person who used it had on music.

If you don't want to buy something online, then you can often find what you are looking for at conventions or collectable stores. This will allow you to get a first hand look at some of the items and be able to find out if it is actually legit. Whenever you buy something like used music memorabilia, you are going to want to see if you can get a certificate of authenticity. Doing this means that you will have something that is actually a piece of rock history, and not something that is being passed off as a piece of rock history. Why spend the money if you aren't going to get what you want?

Rock and Roll is a part of all of our lives, from the Baby Boomers to Generation Y, it shapes us and helps us. For each person, used music memorabilia is going to take on different meanings for all of us. For one person, getting a signed copy of Puff, The Magic Dragon from Peter, Paul and Mary will mean more than getting a signed copy of Sticky Fingers from the Rolling Stones.

If you are looking to get used music memorabilia, then you should start looking online at eBay and other music memorabilia websites around the world. You will be unlikely not to find what you are looking for. Become a part of rock history by getting the piece of rock history you are looking for.
