Tips on Sports Memorabiia
Sports Memorabilia collections can be around a sport such as basketball or a person such as Don Collins. Should the collection be for passion or money? That's up to you but if you start with passion and then learn to choose wisely, you can have both. A little bit of history is what everyone wants when they collect sports memorabilia.
When starting out in collecting Sports Memorabilia, it is good to start with your favourite sport. It would be wonderful to collect declared national treasure and FIFA ambassador, Pele. However, we have to start
One area, is autographed sports memorabilia.
The success of the individual will change the value of the item. As well, the ability to prove an item is "game worn" and can be related to a particular famous game will increase the value. Retirement or death can add value to items for popular sportsmen. However, the need to prove authenticity or the devaluation that occurs when the autograph has a personal address such as the recipient's name, make this market fraught with difficulty.
The difficulty in dealing with the large number of fraudulent signatures for sales has led to the need to have a certificate of authenticity and to buy from a reputable dealer.
Value of sports memorabilia is always hard to establish. Mark McGuire's ball may have sold for one million dollars at Sotheby's setting records for sports memorabilia but this won't happen often. Other popular people for sports memorabilia collecting are Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Ted Williams, George Best, John Elway, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan or Edison Arantes do Nascimento. But there are many sports people whose memorabilia can be collected.
Did sports memorabilia start when Babe Ruth started collecting memorabilia. Or did sports memorabilia collecting start even earlier. Surely, a celtic football in the dark ages that was one of the first sports memorabilia.
Olympic memorabilia have long been collected since the early years of last century.
Jersey collecting in the 80s became the sports memorabilia turning point. Whether it is basketball, football or hockey, sports collectors were beginning to grow. There are trading cards, equipment, photographs.
Find the value of an item is hard. Searching for valuations for sports memorabilia can be difficult. Until a item is exchanged at auction with interested buyers, the value of any item of sports memorabilia is in the owner's mind only.
But buying something for a sport you love is a good start.
