ABOUT MUSICGOLDMINE®: MusicGoldmine.com specializes in music memorabilia for music fans and collectors. The items we sell range from all kinds of record awards to autographed items to rare photos, music-related collages, vintage tour apparel and more. Many items are one-of-a-kind pieces of music history.
We're thrilled to have the largest selection at retail in the world of pre-owned record awards. These include genuine Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Gold®, Platinum®, Multi-Platinum™ and Diamond record awards mostly obtained from artists and music industry executives. These record award plaques have been produced under tight controls since 1958 in limited numbers and only for artists and music industry personnel. Their rarity makes them great collectibles. We also carry in-house/label sales awards and international awards, such as CRIA (Canada), BPI (U.K.), ARIA (Australia), (BVMI) Germany and others.
The awards and signed items are always authentic, which is a cornerstone of our business. For this reason every signed/autographed item we sell comes with a third party, top tier authenticator's Certificate or Letter of Authenticity (COA or LOA) with only very rare exceptions. By "third party, top tier" we mean that the COA or LOA we provide with each item is always from an authentication company that is not affiliated with us and which is widely recognized in the marketplace as a reliable authenticator. We only carry items authenticated by the most respected and recognized authenticators in the industry: BAS (Beckett Authentication Services), JSA (James Spence Authentication), PSA/DNA (Professional Sports Authenticator) and REAL (Roger Epperson Authentication Ltd.-- Roger Epperson also consults JSA on music items). Occasionally we provide authentication from individual music authentication specialists such as, for example, Frank Caiazzo or Perry Cox, both well-known experts on Beatles autographs or companies such as Tracks Ltd (UK), a respected European authenticator/dealer specializing in Beatles and other rock/pop artists.
