The purpose of this site is to:

• Continue to build my prized collection of music artifacts and provide me with a vocation that I can grow old with.

• Provide a community for music collectors that is more open, transparent, honest, dazzling, interactive and fun than any forum that’s come before it.  To present the smartest writing and approach to music collectibles anywhere in the world.  To get collectors out of their closets and in touch with each other and promote good will and fair dealings, and minimize secrecy.  And to exercise the radical concept of putting integrity before money.

Special thanks to Andrew Hawley for allowing me to photograph many of the posters seen on this site, from 1996 to the present day.

A lifetime of debt and gratitude to legendary boxing-style poster collector Hank Thompson of Raleigh, NC (1949-2005), who always put people and their feelings first, and as a result wound up with America’s best poster collection in the 1990s.

And of course, Pete Howard wishes to thank his wife and three children for allowing him to pursue his dream and do what he loves for a living – THIS!
