There are different Entertainment/Memorabilia sources in the world because everyone has a different opinion on what is entertaining and what piece of memorabilia would constitute such a memorable event that it would be significant enough to earn a place in history. The Entertainment/Memorabilia item is generally associated with a person, place or thing.



The different Entertainment/Memorabilia sources are generated by catastrophic events such as the attack on the World Trade Center. These are solemn events that nobody wants to profit from but public generosity still reached out to support the family ties of the people who were killed on that fateful day in all locations of the United States where the tragedy hit hardest. Every part of the World Trade Center is treasured because lives are connected to those pieces.

While some memorabilia is connected to the death of an individual, other items that are just as memorable are associated to the accomplishments of the individual while they were alive. The different Entertainment/Memorabilia sources could come from personal items because these items connected with the person in a very personal way. The value placed on these items changes over time, but generally spikes around a birthday or an anniversary.

The movie industry has generated a considerable amount of memories over the years. Some of these memories created Entertainment/Memorabilia items from the large buildings used in the movie sets such as The Empire State Building. A historical building is tied with historical significance that is real and associated with a fantasy. A King Kong poster is valued by collectors more than a post card of the building dated at the same time.

Some of the different Entertainment/Memorabilia sources come from the props used in movies. The planes and guns used in war movies have both Entertainment and Memorabilia value attached to them. All of these items are now considered museum pieces and people pay to visit them and recall past experiences with family and friends. Gun collector's display the tools of death and mayhem on their walls.

Some people would place amusement parks in both categories. They have different Entertainment/Memorabilia sources because so many people from so many walks of life have visited them. Some people chose to spend their honeymoons at an amusement park. The honeymoon experience will stay memorable and offer historical value on a personal level.

The amusement park would not fit into a museum so the world compensates and places greater significance on the creator and the characters that he created. Disney Entertainment/Memorabilia is very collectible and nobody ever thought a friendly mouse and a duck named Donald would ever bring such interest or cause people to pay such high prices to spend the day with them.
