Original KISS Road Crew to Auction Personal Treasures

November 9, 2005

Backstage Auctions will be presenting the 2005 "KISS My Auction" event which will feature hundreds of items from the private collections of more than a dozen original KISS crew and company members from the glorious days of the 1970s.

"KISS remains one of the top collectible bands today and with a large array of items in the market, serious collectors are searching the market for those unique, one-of-a-kind pieces," explains Kelli van Gool, co-founder of Backstage Auctions. The consignors in the "KISS My Auction" are individuals who were part of the KISS family in one capacity or another from 1973 through the early 1980s. Backstage Auctions is extremely honored to represent these individuals who are now willing to open their personal KISS treasure vault and share their personal and historic mementos with the ever growing KISS Army.

Among the more notable pieces will be the original artwork for "Rock and Roll Over", Gene Simmons' fire breathing sword and a pair of boots, a vintage Paul Stanley Gibson Marauder guitar and a stage worn Peter Criss belt. Also featured in the auction are record awards, vintage shirts and jackets, tour documents, press kits, rare vinyl, picks 'n sticks, party invitations, Christmas cards, rare photos, promotional items, toys and so much more.

"It will be an early KISSmas this year," says Jacques van Gool, co founder of Backstage Auctions and long time KISS collector. "I thought I had seen it all, but even I have been in awe over the rich history behind these authentic pieces."

The "KISS My Auction" preview will go live Sunday, November 27 and the auction will open for bidding on Sunday, December 4.
