Wealth consolidation

When consolidating wealth you need to purchase autographs of the famous people of yesteryear; like Frank Sinatra, Ginger Rogers, Winston Churchill, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Marylin Monroe to name a few. These options don't offer much in increased returns above the general trend, but they do give you the safer long-term option, it is very unlikely that these will lose their value and are reasonably liquid as they can be sold quite easily. In simple laymans terms... buy dead famous people's autographs.    

Growth

When investing in autographs for growth in value you need to focus on the icons of these times. These are fickle choices and the celebrity world is a shark pit ready to malign the greatest to thier knees. Thus this is a far more risky area of the market. If these people are below 50 you could wait 30+ years for your return. However, if you have patience or are buying for your children or grandchildren then some names to consider for your collection are: Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Bono, David Beckham, Maradonna, Tiger Woods, though the choices are endless and the risk is obvious. However it can be incredibly rewarding.  These are usually much cheaper to purchase, but are less liquid when you wish to sell them.

Moderate risk investments

My personal area of investment lies with the older statesmen and women of our times. People like: BB King, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Morgan Freeman, Clint Eastwood, Ringo Starr. These are of a moderate price and moderate liquidity.
