Who Is Rick Barrett?
The name Rick Barrett is widely considered to be THE expert in the field of Led Zeppelin
memorabilia. Known to thousands all over the globe, my name is recognized and equated
with knowledge of Zeppelin collectibles. Here are a few highlights of my activities in the Led
Zeppelin collecting arena:
Rick has been collecting autographs in-person since 1970; he has met Robert Plant several
times, as well as Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. Here are pictures of (from left):
