Authenticity is Everything
Queen Value List
Last price update was March 29 2021:
Prices have pretty much stayed the same for now. My suggestion for those considering selling their pieces is still to wait if interested in a good profit. Especially for when (God forbid) any other member goes up to the big gig in the sky. Value will jack up. For now, current value is updated under "quick guide" below.
**Due to the Coronavirus putting folks out of work, the last few items I've seen sold since the outbreak have been sold undervalue. Up to the point of massive layoffs and furloughs, prices have stayed within the range listed below. Because of this, I believe the dip in value to be temporary. If considering selling a Queen related item, I suggest holding off until the world's economy is back on track. In a year's time I do expect prices to be back as they had been. People don't seem to be buying or selling right now, and this low period is to be expected with the current state of events.**
Fred: Alone and on paper (the most basic of autographs) are currently valued at $900-$1,200 for any that arent from the last year of his life. 1991 is valued higher at around around $1,200-1,500. On albums, posters and photos, take those numbers and add 5 to 700 more to each item. Now the living members: John seems to stay around $75-120 for paper and another 50-75 for albums, posters and photos. Roger: about the same, usually a bit less for the same items. Same goes for brian. They sign daily. Multiple times a day. They arent rare. Now for the whole band: a fully signed paper can range from $2.5 to 3K depending on the quality ect. Fully signed albums, poster and photos are now averaging at about 3.5 to 4.5K USD. Innuendo and Mircale items going for more. 4.5K to 6K depending on the item (taking into account a more realistic figure for those 6 and 7K innunedo posters).
Quick guide:
Freddie Mercury (individually):
- 1970s to 1988 on paper and alone= $900-$1,200 USD.
- Earlier signatures (from his time in college or boarding school) would be double that.
- 1989-1991 on paper= $1,200 to 1,500 USD.
- Posters, albums, and photos= take the average price per year on paper and add another 500-700.
John Deacon (individually): John is retired but does indeed still sign both TTM and in person.
- Paper= $75-120.
- Posters, albums and photos, add another 50-75 USD.
Roger Taylor (individually):
- paper= $30 to 65.
- Posters, photos and albums= $55 to 100
Brian May (individually): same a Roger.
Fully signed items:
- Paper= 2.5K to 3K USD.
- Albums, posters and photos= 3.5K to 4.5K USD.
- Innunedo and Mircale items (being the last pieces Freddie was around to sign while also not attending promo functions or public events)= 4.5K to 6K [taking taking into account a more realistic figure for those 6 and 7K innunedo posters]

Freddie has always been in demand and it looks like he always will be. I doubt it'll stay this extremely frantic, though. There was a time in the 70s and 80s when nobody cared (can you believe it?) about his signed items. After his death, it's something that has always been in demand. Some years more intensely than others.

Good afternoon all and especially Mr Innuendo
i have just read this thread with great interest and in view of the release of the Queen film I thought i would make contact. I am in the Uk
I have had 2 items in my possession for the past 44yrs and always wondered if there is any ˋ particular value to them- I’m not a collector but I thought it may be of interest to collectors out there
They are both full band signatures items. One on a picture sleeve Bohemian Rhapsody single and the other is the same on the killer queen picture sleeve single
I can confirm they are both 100% authentic. I couldn’t attend but my mate went to the queen gig at Preston UK on December 8th 1975. We were 16 and he was Queen mad and somehow got backstage and the record sleeves signed. He came to school the next day very pleased with himself but most of us didn’t really think much about it ! A few weeks later I swapped him a sex Pistols anarchy in the uk on virgin single for them both so that’s why they are in my possession. They’ve been sitting within clear plastic sleeves since then and the records have almost never been played.
Ive had a look around the web but haven’t seen many signatures actually on the ‘famous’ Bohemian Rhapsody photo of them so am wondering if the value of the item may be enhanced in view of this. Any help or advice/opinion on this would be very much appreciated altough I’m not necessarily looking to sell them ……unless there may be a ‘significant’ value to them? Who knows?
I’m not at home currently but if there is any interest I can take photos and send in.
Thanks for reading and best wishes!

Hello, I'd be happy to have a look and tell you if it is indeed genuine. No offense to your friend, but I'm sure you'll understand we've all heard stories like that in the past, so I'd need to check it out for authenticity and quality before telling you what the value is. I love items from that era, so I'm very excited to see it. All the best.

Hi innuendo
no problem ! Thanks. I’ll be home in around 3weeks so will send photos in
Not sure if it devalues things but the killer queen one has the signatures of the support band on it as well - in this case ‘Mr Big ‘
very Kind of you to reply so promptly
Will come back to you but may not be until mid feb
thanks again !

No problem. Yes, if Mr Big signed on the same item (same side) as the band, it would take away from value. I look forward to hearing from you. All the best.

Appreciate that ok. Fortunately it’s on the killer queen sleeve not the bohemian rhapsody.
will come back to you thanks

Hi Innuendo
Following my contact to you in January i have finally come to the uk and have photographed my two autographed singles that I mentioned . I would be very grateful for your opinion on them
I know their provenance but totally understand your reluctance to comment until you have seen them
i did make an error in that the Mr Big signatures are on the back of the Bohemian Rhapsody single cover unfortunately
i am sending you the first one and thank you for your time . The date of signing was Dec 8th 1975 . Your opinion on the authenticity of the first would be much appreciated
Best wishes
simon
