This came from the collection of a 45 yr + second generation collector along with his wife from Cleveland, Ohio with lifetime of collecting and a stellar reputation and who also inherited a large collection of old and rare signatures :)
The tragedy inspired singer Don McLean to write his 1971 hit "American Pie", immortalizing February 3 as "The Day the Music Died". Valens's remains were buried at San Fernando Mission Cemetery in Mission Hills, Los Angeles, California.
Shipping is 28 to US/Canada (signed delivery) and I will ship worldwide and cost depends on location.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE NOTE:
I
HAVE 1000+ items not listed, including many old, rare, and hard to get
items from early 1900s horror to musical acts from the 50's on.. Please contact me with the artist/entertainer you are looking for and i'll send pics if you are interested..
I
am a honest, serious collector and would never knowingly sell someone
something i feel is not authentic, PERIOD! I do extensive reviews of
anything i buy and have a close friend who is the authenticator for
Disney if i need an opinion... I buy from dependable other collectors
whom I research first and develop relationships with, or get things
myself...
Cheers to all. and Happy Collecting! Tony :)
