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.
