Music Autographs: Demand And Prices On The Rise

The demand for quality, legitimate music autographs has risen rapidly over the last few years. As a result, prices on the better autographs have also increased dramatically.

This year, in addition to buying many vinyl and memorabilia collections, Rockaway has been especially focused on acquiring music autograph collections.

As of this writing, 9/19/25, we've just put out an amazing array of autographs, including many signed guitars. View our inventory

Our  standards for buying autographs are extremely strict. If there is even the slightest doubt about authenticity or provenance, we will reject it. And that's not always the easiest conclusion to arrive at. Even the most respected autograph experts don’t always agree with each other, so sometimes we require two or three outside experts to agree on the authenticity before we will buy it. We offer a lifetime guarantee on every autograph, so we want to be sure we get it right.

It is particularly true at this time that quality autographs sell fast. Many sell the same day we list them!

A word to the wise, though. Many autographs for sale on the open market are forgeries. As their demand and value has increased, so, unfortunately, has the number of fakes, so beware and only buy from trusted and reliable sources.

If you have an autograph collection you are thinking about selling, please contact one of our experts. If it is a high quality, valuable collection, you may be pleasantly surprised at how much we'll pay!
