Welcome to my online sale. There are 3 pages. The first page is SRV, second page is music memorabilia, and third page is Hollywood, Sports, Automotive, Antiques and other items. You are on page 1. There is a link to the next page at the bottom.

Click on the camera to see each item. The photos are low resolution but should be a sufficient guide. Most of the posters were shrink-wrapped on acid-free board at the time I took the photos, and they show a lot of glare and reflection, so in most cases the posters are much more attractive than shown in these small photos. Poster sizes are approximate.

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN
 
The Really Cool Stuff

SIGNED record from Stevie's personal collection of blues records - This is a 1977 vinyl LP which came out shortly after Freddie died. As was Stevie's custom, he wrote his name, "S.R. Vaughan" on the top right corner of the record jacket to mark it as his record. In those days, Stevie moved quite frequently, and records were swapped and borrowed routinely, so there was no question Stevie wanted to mark this with his name. This may be the very record from which Stevie learned "Hideaway" and other Freddie classic songs. King Record lable, but they didn't know how to spell the great man's name - "Freddie" on the cover, "Freddy" on the lable. The cover got some water damamge on the lower part, and the paper split about half way across (the cover is not torn, just the paper on the cover split when it dried). Looks its age and well enjoyed. Stevie's signature is extremely distinct, high contrast - beautiful. Frame this up with your favorite photo of Stevie and an engraved badge saying "From the personal collection of Stevie Ray Vaughan." I got this from a friend of mine who has had it for many years, and cannot now remember where he found it. He shops a lot of estate and garage sales, record fairs etc. I guarantee the signature is genuine, and it is written just like several other records I have in my collection which belonged to Stevie. Awesome. $1250
  In Step Band/VIP-ONLY Tour Jacket. Impossibly rare. The highest quality tour jacket of all the jackets made for the band/crew. This beautiful black wool and red leather coat is exceptionally rare and was never available to the public. Each band and major crew member had a jacket with their name embroidered on the front above the In Step logo (this one belonged to crew member Danny), and the back is embroidered with the large "SRV and Double Trouble" logo. You could put a pin or two over Danny's name and no one would even know it's there, and the jacket would still be in original condition. My experience with these letterman-style jackets is that they run larger than the size tag indicates. I am six feet tall and 175 pounds, and this jacket fits almost like it was tailored for me. There is plenty of length in the body and sleeves for me; it is comfortable but a little snug around the middle which is where all my weight seems to be going as I get older! The jacket is used, but the leather is in excellent condition and has been well taken care of. The fabric collar and cuffs are the only places with slight fuzziness from being used. I have only seen three or maybe four of these jackets on the market. Stevie's jacket now belongs to friends of mine and has been exhibited at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Museum in Cleveland. Janna's jacket is in my SRV Museum Collection. There might have been one other on the market, but that's about it. All the band/VIP-only jackets are rare, but many think this one is the best looking. $1500
1984 Couldn't Stand the Weather Tour Jacket - One of only four or five on the market in the past 20 years, to my knowledge, and I have two of them (the other stays in the museum collection). Embroidered front and back, this is the first SRV tour jacket to feature embroidery and was only the second tour jacket ever made for the band. The first was a satin jacket with a printed design. This was crew member Dan's jacket, his name embroidered on the front. Again, if you want to hide his name without damaging the jacket, put a small pin over his name. $995
1987 Live Alive Tour Jacket - The most elaborately embroidered of all the tour jackets (and the only "hoodie"), with a large image of Stevie wearing the Native American headdress on the back. This is nice warm jacket with a liner, zip front plus snaps and a hood that can be left inside or pulled out. Size M, but I think they run large.  One dark spot on one elbow, cuffs and bottom elastic a little bit "fuzzy" which could be rememdied easily.  $750
The ULTIMATE SRV Guitar Collection - This is my personal collection of replicas of Stevie's most famous guitars.

1. The Fender Custom Shop "Number One."  Luthier John Cruz confirmed for me that this is #12 of only 100 Custom Shop guitars. According to a dealer at the Dallas Guitar Show in 2009, the asking price on these is now $50,000-55,000 if you can find one. Custom Shop guitars like this are investment grade. Flight case, case candy and original box.

2. The Fender Custom Shop "Lenny." Only 185 of these guitars were released for the U.S. market in 2007 by the famous Custom Shop. Stevie's "Lenny" sold for $623,000. Flight case, case candy and original box. These Custom Shop guitars originally sold for $17,000.

3. Charley's Guitar Shop "Lipstick Special." Number 1 of only 23 made by Charley's Guitar Shop and Rene Martinez in January 2003. That's right - this is #1, the very first one. Other owners include Carlos Santana, John Mayer and other celebrities. Irridescent blue/white "flip-flop" paint, Charley's logo, hula girl on back, immitation snakeskin case. Certificate signed by Rene Martinez, Stevie's guitar tech. Best tone of any guitar I own. 

4. Jim Hamilton "Hamiltone" a.ka. "Main." The most beautiful guitar I have ever owned. Sweet tone. This is  number 01, made in 2004 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Stevie receiving his from Jim Hamilton in April 1984. There are photos of this guitar being made in Jim's studio elsewhere on this website. Signed on the back of the headstock by Jim Hamilton. This is NOT one of the asian knockoffs being sold by someone other than Jim Hamilton under the Hamiltone name. This is the real deal made by the same man who made Stevie's guitar.

PURCHASE OPTIONS:
Number One and Lenny: $65,000
Charley and Lenny: $25,000
Hamiltone and Lenny: $25,000
All four guitars: $80,000

GUITAR PICKS

 

There are 17 different custom picks with Stevie's name printed on the pick. Easily the most common pick Stevie used was a plain ol' Fender medium. The only guitar picks I can confidently say were actually used by Stevie Ray Vaughan to make some of the most amazing music in history are those I have obtained directly from his roadies or his former fiance. 

Picks showing wear from use by Stevie:
- Fender medium, red (top row, middle). He used these throughout his career, but particularly in the early    years. USED. $995
- Fender medium, red. Similar to above. USED. $SOLD
- Fender medium, light blue. USED. $SOLD

Custom picks (no wear apparent): 
- Yellow "Stevie Ray" - his second pick with his name on it. ca. 1983. $SOLD
- Purple Delrin "Stevie Ray Vaughan". $SOLD
- White "Stevie Ray Vaughan" on two lines. $SOLD
- Red "Stevie Ray Vaughan" on two lines in gold letters $SOLD
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $SOLD 
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $650
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in gold letters. $650
- Multicolor "Stevie Ray Vaughan" in highly contrasting white letters. $800

Other SRV picks 
One of Stevie's roadies recently discovered some guitar picks left over from touring with Stevie. These picks all date to the period 1983-1985 and are unused. They are from two of Stevie's favorite guitar shops - Ray Hennig's Heart of Texas Music in Austin, and Charley's Guitar Shop in Dallas. I think they are really cool because of where they are from and I added some of these to my Stevie pick collection because they are just as much from Stevie's pick supply as those with his name on them. Not as expensive, but just as genuine. Because they do not have Stevie's name on them, we are offering them for ONLY $100 each, or a set of seven for $650
- Vintage "H.O.T. Music" pick from Ray Hennig's Heart of Texas Music in Austin, Texas! Ray's store is where Stevie got Number One in 1974, and where he would stop before shows to get picks, strings, etc. Available in red, white, blue, tortoise and black. State your top two color choices, and if we run out of your top choices we'll send you one of the others.
- Vintage Charley's Guitar Shop pick from Dallas, Texas. Charley Wirz was, of course, the man Stevie dedicated "Life Without You" to. Charley started the Dallas Guitar Show in 1978, and it continues on today. Stevie obtained several guitars from Charley, including the famous white guitar on the cover of Couldn't Stand the Weather. Picks available in yellow and white glow-in-the-dark. State your preference, but if we run out of glow-in-the-dark we'll send you a yellow one.

AUTOGRAPHS
See also the signed album at the top of this page.
Autograph - Couldn't Stand the Weather album cover signed by all three band members while on tour in New Zealand. Big, bold signatures! Album cover has some light creases from handling but will frame beautifully.  $1500
Autographs - Wonderful set of signatures by the whole band: Stevie, Chris, Tommy and Reese. Signed in Cincinnati on June 24, 1990, just two months before Stevie passed. White paper signed clearly and legibly by all four band members in ball-point pens. Excellent for framing with anything - poster, photo, album cover, etc. Sets with all four band members are getting more difficult to find. $1250
Autograph - Guitar World magazine cover from 1985, signed contemporaneously in blue pen "S R Vaughan c/s." See the FAQ page for explanation of "c/s." Signed nicely on the white area of the cover.  $950
  Autograph. Soul To Soul-era Stevie Ray Vaughan autograph on a 3.5" x 5.5" record store postcard, with photo of Stevie at the event. Stevie and the band, plus the T-Birds, attended the in-store appearance at Sam's Jams in Ferndale, Michigan, probably in February 1986. Signed "S.R.Vaughan c/s" in heavy black marker. See the FAQ for the explanation of "c/s". Rare to have a candid photo from the signing event. $750
Autograph - Texas Flood cassette J-card signed on the back "Monica, All the Love! S.R. Vaughan c/s." See the FAQ page for explanation of Stevie's "c/s" signature. This signature dates to 1985-1986. Creative framer could matt over Monica's name and you'll have a great piece. $750
Autograph - Soul to Soul cassette J-card signed on the back "Wayne, Stevie Ray Vaughan c/s." See the FAQ page for explanation of Stevie's "c/s" signature. Nice bold red pen signature. $750
Autograph - Interesting "To Steve" from Stevie Ray Vaughan. Pencil signature on the back of a message pad sheet. Obtained in '88 or '89 at President's health club in Dallas. (I have Stevie's membership form in my collection, so the story has merit.)  $750
Autograph - Paper signed "To Bobby. Best of All of Life! Stevie Ray Vaughan." Very cool inscription. $750
Autograph - 4x6 card signed "Stevie Ray Vaughan c/s". Frame with anything! $650
POSTERS
  1980s collection of 15 Continental Club monthly calendar posters, all with at least one SRV gig. Really interesting artwork in addition to being an historical record of the Austin music scene at the time Stevie was hitting his stride from March 1980 until October 1982. As near a complete collection of these posters as you are likely to find, and all are near mint. Acquired from the former owner of the club years ago. The posters are pictured in the book on various pages. They are priced in sets of three posters (your choice) or the whole set of 15.

$120 for any 3

$600 for all 15

1981 Club Poster - Before Stevie and Double Trouble started touring the world in 1983 they were on the Texas club circuit. A couple of Austin clubs had very artistic monthly calendars and the Continental Club calendars by Gary Olliver are among the harder to find. This one is from December 1981 and lists "Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble" on the 21st. The calendar is a microcosm of the Austin music scene almost thirty years ago and includes W.C. Clark, Leroi Brothers, The Cobras, Angela Strehli Band, The Skunks, Van Wilks and others. 11x17 and in mint condition! It is pictured in my book on page 148 (bottom right). Posters showing SRV concerts before mid-1983 are very difficult to find. $45
1982 Club Poster - Before Stevie and Double Trouble started touring the world in 1983 they were on the Texas club circuit. A couple of Austin clubs had very artistic monthly calendars and the Continental Club calendars by Gary Olliver are among the harder to find. This one is from January 1982 and lists "Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble" on the 18th. The calendar is a microcosm of the Austin music scene almost thirty years ago and includes W.C. Clark, Leroi Brothers, The Cobras, Angela Strehli Band, Lewis and the Legends, Tex Thomas and His Danglin' Wranglers and others. 11x17 and in excellent condition! It is pictured in my book on page 149. Posters showing SRV concerts before mid-1983 are very difficult to find. $45
1982 concert poster for Austin Blues Festival at Auditorium Shores (now the site of the SRV Memorial). 22x28 cardboard boxing style! Very rare. A who's who of the Austin blues scene in 1982, including Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. I acquired this poster directly from the producer of the concert. Pictured in the book p.156. $175
1984 concert poster, Stevie opening for Huey Lewis and The News. 17x22 on heavy stock. Pictured in book p.222 $65
1986 concert poster 14x23, staple holes, crease. Opening band The Outlaws. Pictured in the book p.296 $100
1987 Texas Flood type promo poster - This poster is huge, approximately 48 x 36 !! It is almost identical to the first SRV promo poster for Texas Flood except that when they reprinted this poster in 1987 to use for tour promotion they added "AND DOUBLE TROUBLE" at the top of the poster, probably at Stevie's insistence that the band be acknowledged on the poster. It is in very good condition with minor edge wear and a 1/2" wrinkle mark repeating down the middle every few inches from having been slightly creased while rolled.

$200

1987 Back to the Beach movie poster. 27x41. Stevie's only Hollywood movie appearance, and he is pictured almost top center of the poster. Minor edge wrinkle. Pictured in the book p.302 $75
1987 concert poster for Austin Aqua Festival at Auditorium Shores in Austin (now the site of the SRV Memorial). 17x23, tape on corners, some wrinkles. Also lists Dwight Yoakum, Los Lobos, Randy Travis, Santana. PIctured in book p.308 $125
1988 Austin R&B Benefit Concert featuring SRV, T-Birds, Bonnie Raitt, Ruth Brown. Rare signed and numbered 111/500 by the artist Julie Speed. Large 25x39, drymounted on heavy posterboard, and has gotten a bit wavy from moisture over the years, but still looks great in a frame. Will have to ship it flat & unframed, or you can pick it up and I'll include the frame. Inexpensive way to get a poster worth $250-300 if it weren't mounted. Pictured in the book p.323. $85
1988 Oak Cliff Reunion poster, 11x17. Stevie made a surprise appearance and played at this show in his home town. Pictured in the book p.321 $50
1989 Printer's Proof - In Step Color Separations - A set of nine (9) color separations on heavy stock for the In Step CD longbox and cassette artwork, including the printer's cover sheet. Impossibly rare and in my collection since 1993. There are two all-colors prints, one each of black ink, red ink, yellow ink, blue ink - I can't remember them all because they have been in storage for 17 years. Each sheet is approximately 34" x 22". I have one of the all-color sheets matted and framed, but it is too large to ship framed. If you live close you can pick it up framed, otherwise it will ship unframed. This is the ONLY set I have ever seen. $850
1989 concert poster for the Presidential Inuagural party. Very hard to find - I've only seen two in 20 years. 18x24. Names of the performers are listed on the poster. Acquired from one of Stevie's roadies. Pictured in the book p. 328 $100
1990 Alpine Valley photo by noted photographer Robert Knight. 20x30 framed photo of Stevie, Jimmie, Eric Clapton and Robert Cray back stage at Stevie's very last concert, just hours before he died. The best estimate is that only 100 of these were made for select Fender dealers back in 1992. They have sold for up to $1500 in the rare instances that they come on the market. Knight's work sells for big dollars these days, owing in part to the movie about him and to the fact he does great work, of course. Please excuse the glare in the photo. SOLD
1990 Alpine Valley photo by noted photographer Robert Knight. Stevie and Jimmie back stage at Stevie's very last concert, just hours before he died. 11x14, rare, signed artist proof. Robert usually does about 10 artist proofs of his limited edition photos, and similar items are priced at $750. Please note that the sample image here is a low resolution scan. The photo is crystal clear and sharp. $450
1991 memorial poster; the first to be authorized by the Estate of SRV. 22x35. Still rolled in the original packaging and never opened! Similar poster in the book p. 382 and pictured here. $75
1991 memorial poster; the first to be authorized by the Estate of SRV. 22x35. Laminated for easy display without a frame. Pictured in the book p.382 $75
1992 Fender Guitars special limited edition lithograph. This is the autographed high-quality lithograph, not the smaller mass-produced poster on thin paper. Signed by famous rock photographer Robert Knight and the poster artist. 20x27. Numbered 6 of only 25 artist proofs! Pictured in the book p. 385. $175
1994-1995 SRV Run For Recovery - TWO posters, one for each of the memorial Run For Recovery benefiting the Ethel Daniels Foundation in Dallas. 11x17 and 13x17. Will include race application forms. Races were in 1994 and 1995. $10

1996 Tribute to SRV promo. Rarest of the promos for this awesome memorial show. 24x36. Pictured in the book p.395 $75

1999 rare lightbox promo poster. Printed on plastic so that light will show through. Framed with plexi on the back so that you could hang this in a window to get the lightbox effect. 26x26. Pictured in the book p.399 $100 framed
1999 record store CD and poster bin. Large 58 x 13 cardboard promo bin for the remastered catalog. Very rare. The front bin held posters, and the top four bins held CDs. (Items shown in the bin not included). Comes with the guitar cutout on the front. Very good condition, some minor wear on corners. Pictured in the book p.399.  (It folds down to 48x36x2)  Pick up in Dallas area. I can ship it, but it won't be cheap.  $75

OTHER
Pins -  1990s cloisonne (metal and enamel) pin made by the Estate of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Gold and white guitar with "Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble." These are the nicest SRV pins ever made. They were originally made in small quantity at the time Couldn't Stand the Weather was released in 1984. The Estate of SRV made another relatively small quantity around 1994. I recently bought out what I believe to be the last horde of these 15-year-old pins. One sold on eBay recently for $71, and the originals from 1984 (if you can find one) sell for up to $100. These pins are identical except for the texture on the back of the pin. It has a locking clasp on the back like jewelry, not one of those detachable round clasps you squeeze. This is not a cheap pin-back button but a high quality cloisonne pin. They are 1.5" long. 

$35

Cars - last set. These are limited edition cars made in 2000. These were licensed by the Estate of Stevie Ray Vaughan.Only 2500 were made of each of the big (1:24 scale) cars, 10,000 each of the small (1:64 scale) cars, except the '57 Chevy (20,000) and the Chevelle (unknown quantity). There are seven different cars. Click below to see closeup photos of six of them (the seventh is a small version of the big Chevy. The little blue & white car ('67 Chevelle SS) is very hard to find because it was a factory error and was never supposed to be released.

SPECIAL COLLECTION - RESEARCH ARCHIVE - HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS + INTERVIEWS, ETC.
My personal collection of SRV magazines, newspaper articles and clippings. I collected these items from all over the world for 20 years. This is almost certainly the most complete SRV research library in the world, used to create the newlsetters, website and books I have published. The standard-size magazines and clippings are organized into approximately 16 large notebooks, plus there are several boxes of newspapers and oversized magazines. For the items with Stevie on the cover, these are the actual magazines pictured in the books I have done. Please note that it is probably going to be late 2011 before I will be ready to transfer this collection to you, as I am still using them for another project. There are approximately 335 magazines dating from 1974 to the present, including approximately 20 that came with CDs, and approximately 140 have Stevie on the cover! There are also approximately 40 newspapers, including 10 reporting Stevie's death and funeral. If that isn't enough, there are also three 2-inch notebooks of clippings and photocopies of articles from around the world.  $3750
