Not much into the memorabilia, either, BUT:

I have several buttons from shows (the standard ones like the square Union Jack 
Farewell one and the round farewell one with the classic old pic of the four 
guys in arms on-stage) plus a bunch that were made by a local company 
(read:"garage") in Eugene, Oregon in the early 80's, like a mod target with the 
original logo on it and one of just a mid-70's Pete's face in a Warhol-ish two 
color style.

My prizes though, are a couple of posters:  one is a promo for Empty Glass: a 
long, exaggerated full-length drawing of PT; the other is an original 
movie-house poster of The Kids Are Alright.

Both are kept in a safe place until funds can be secured to properly frame them 
and then I'll charge money for fiends like Who-listers to salivate nearby...  :)


OK,
