In the world of collecting, movie and music memorabilia are among the most exciting areas to invest in, and six-figure sums for rarities are not uncommon

OWNING a piece of a major movie rubs off some of its magic and the sums of money changing hands for the choicest items of memorabilia reflect this. James Bond is a huge attraction with mementoes capturing the glamour of the cars, girls and gadgets. However, plenty of other names – Elvis, The Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, Star Wars and Doctor Who – make big money. Value is influenced by the nostalgia we hold for a star or a production and each generation has its own heroes and cults.
