Tips & Guidelines For Buying Sports Memorabilia
Buying sports
memorabilia can be a great hobby for collectors or just
a great gift to buy for a friend, loved one or even yourself.
Here are some tips & guidelines on what you should look for when
you buy sports memorabilia and sports collectibles.
* A certified signature of a professional athlete identifies a
piece of sports memorabilia. The signature can appear on a ball,
jersey, card, photo, helmet, bat, glove or other sports related
equipment.
* It must come with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) issued
by a well-known, reliable and credible company in the sports
memorabilia industry.
* Whether in person, on the Internet or in a catalog, you should
be able to see an image of the item before making a purchase.
* Make sure that you are getting an actual "Hand Signed" or
"Autographed" item; not just some reprint or copy of the
signature.
* Signed replicas and authentic sports items sold without
signatures or COA are classified as "collectibles"
* Check for a hologram or serial number to come with the item
* Most reputable companies have a company representative witness
the actual signing
Value of
Sports Memorabilia
Sports memorabilia will most likely retain or increase in value
base on several factors.
* The popularity and talent of the athlete
* The quantity of a particular item that is made available in
the open market
* If the player becomes deceased after you have purchased the
item or if the player is already deceased
* Players who inducted into the Hall of Fame or who have
participated in events such as World Series, Super Bowl or
Stanley Cup
* The condition that you keep your item once you purchase it.
Always try to keep signed items away from direct sunlight by
using cases with UV Protection when available.
