Since the old music sheets were produced by the millions and so many people kept them, they are relatively inexpensive to purchase.

Because these old song sheets are so plentiful you can be rather picky about what you want to add to your collection. Make sure what you purchase is in very good condition with no tearing or staining. Collecting tips for old sheet music are pretty simple to follow, but most of all just collect items that really appeal to you and your personality.
