The value of any item connected to a musician or musicians depends on who it is and what the item is. Letters, autographs, personal items, can be of interest depending on how unique the items are. Sheet music, especially if it is an original publication from the era prior to the recording revolution is highly sought. Obscure or peculiar objects, while they may generate curiosity, have limited value, unless they cross fields of interest. If this is the case, multiple collectors will be seeking to acquire the item(s).

The value of posters is an interesting phenomenon. Mass produced posters that saturated the market at any given time carry less appeal because of their abundance. However, original posters designed by artists of note are always in demand. That being said, simple prints on cheap stock that were distributed and posted to promote a musician or band, especially if they are from early in their history, have risen significantly in value. The condition of the posters is critical to maintaining their value.
