Who would have ever guessed that an English-Irish pop boy band based in London would become the worlds hottest musical commodity? Not me. As every one now knows, One Direction is a fabricated group, glued together during the competition stage of the hit UK show The X-Factor. The boys came in as soloists and left as a band. Its a great story of being in the right place at the right time with just enough talent to make it work. The rest, of course, is history.
10 million albums, 19 million singles, and an endless string of sold out concerts have placed One Direction squarely into the frontal lobes of teen age girls and young-at-heart women across this planet. You would think that autographed One Direction memorabilia would flood the market but surprisingly, this hasn't been the case. The combination of constant worldwide touring and English recording sessions has limited access to the band and their signatures to those of us here in the US. However, once in a while we do come across a couple of items that we find interesting. Today's little gift from 1D are a couple of 8x10 photos signed by Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson.
