What We Buy
We Acquire
Music History
Pop Icons acquires rare and significant music memorabilia directly from private sellers worldwide. If you have something connected to an iconic artist or a landmark moment in music history, we want to hear from you.
Instruments
Guitars, basses, keyboards, drum kits, and other instruments owned, played, or gifted by legendary musicians. Instruments with strong provenance — played on a major album, used on a world tour, or directly connected to a pivotal moment in an artist’s career — are of particular interest. Artists we actively seek include Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Prince, and many others.
Stage Costumes & Clothing
Clothing, footwear, and accessories worn by artists in performance, on tour, in music videos, or at iconic public appearances. Costumes from landmark concerts or tours are among the most sought-after items in the memorabilia world.
Handwritten Lyrics & Manuscripts
Original handwritten lyrics, poems, letters, and manuscripts in an artist’s own hand. Lyrics for well-known songs — especially those showing edits, crossed-out lines, or personal annotations — represent irreplaceable pieces of musical history.
Personal Effects
Items with a direct personal connection to iconic artists: jewellery, diaries, notebooks, annotated books, personal correspondence, and objects from their homes or studios. These pieces bring collectors closest to the human stories behind the music.
Signed & Authenticated Memorabilia
Signed albums, photographs, programmes, and other items with strong provenance or authentication. We work with leading authentication services and can advise on the process if required.
Tour & Production Artefacts
Original concert posters, tour programmes, backstage passes, set lists, tour itineraries, production notes, and other ephemera from significant tours or events in music history.
