Welcome to the colourful world of Music awards. Here you have the opportunity of finding authentic music awards, golden album and other memorabilia of your star.

Whatever search you send us on, rest assured that we will quote only authentic originals.

To give you some idea as to the scope of awards that can be purchased, we would like to give you a brief over view of the various categories.

1.) INHOUSE AWARDS
Most of these items come from fan clubs or where collated by individuals. Generally a combination of golden albums (at times individually gold plated) with maybe an autograph card or the album cover added. Every item is in itself an original, yet set in a luxurious frame they make for a really unique and generally affordable piece of musical history.

The cost of such awards range between € 100,00 and
€ 800,00. It really depends on the artist

If an autograph is included, the value increases accordingly. For example, an Inhouse award with the signature of

Phil Collins is valued at anywhere between € 500,00 and
€ 1.300,00.

Were it the Beatles, the value rises to the range of
€ 1.000,00 to € 2.500,00.

You will appreciate that we need you to be specific in your details as to what it is that you are looking for.
