Sometimes you may see it claimed that autographed memorabilia is one of the biggest wastes of money out there, but is this true? A man named Chris Pummer once equated autographed memorabilia to premium coffee as well as cigarettes as the biggest possible wastes of money, but is this true about autographed memorabilia, especially when it comes to autographed sports memorabilia?

The truth is, the only time autographed memorabilia is NOT worth the investment is when you buy the wrong thing, or buy something that is fake. Investing in fake autographed memorabilia is obviously a waste of money. If you are investing in real autographed memorabilia, however, then there is no reason why you wouldn’t be making a sound investment, especially if you are investing in something that is going to go up in value over time. For example, some players have such a great demand for their signed sports memorabilia, that no matter how often they autograph things, the value of these items is going to go up. Take Pete Rose for example, who visits Las Vegas and autographs sports memorabilia on a consistent basis. When he finally becomes unable to sign, or if he should happen to pass away, then any authentic autographed memorabilia of his is going to double or triple in its value nearly instantly.

Shopping for sports autographed memorabilia is really about choosing the right player. Barry Bonds is not the right player. Willie Mays may be the right player. Doing your research is absolutely vitally important. Willie Mays is the greatest baseball player on the planet, and no one is more collectible than he is. If you are serious about collectible autographed memorabilia, then you absolutely need to be willing to shop around and get a feel for what types of autographed memorabilia are out there, what they’re worth, and perhaps most importantly, how they are going to change in value with time.

You need to be willing to educate yourself on all aspects of authentic autographed memorabilia. You need to find players that are good enough for you to invest in soundly. You also need to study the values of items that are based on not only what they are currently going for but also what they could go for in the future. If you do these three things then you will have a much better chance of seeing excellent returns in your future, perhaps even bigger returns than what a stock market portfolio could potentially afford you. Why should you waste your time investing in stocks, where the risk is high and the returns are incapable of being calculated, when you can spend your time collecting valuable sports player autographed memorabilia, something that you enjoy doing that could potentially earn you some serious money?

Memorabilia -> Rock, Pop -> Guitar and Guitar Picks

When you think of guitar picks, do you think of those tiny rounded triangles of plastic that probably cost about a penny to manufacture? Guitarists used to file down materials like wood, bone, stone, amber, ivory and even metal or shell to get the size, thickness and shape they wanted. D’Andrea Picks created the first plastic picks in 1922 out of a piece of celluloid with a tortoise-shell look that looked very close to the real tortoiseshell in the picks commonly used in Greenwich Village at the time.

The most popular shape for guitar picks was the shape first used in those original picks created by D’Andrea picks. D’Andrea was also the first company to create custom picks for certain guitarists. One of the first guitarists to make pick imprinting popular was Nick Lucas, back in the 1930s. One of the most popular and recognized custom guitar picks today are those that bear the logo of Fender Guitars.

Throwing guitar picks into the audience has become a popular thing for musical artists to do at concerts, much like crooners of old would throw their scarves, or the towel that was around their neck to mop their sweat. Any item touched by a celebrity has value in the eyes of a fan, especially one that was worn around their neck or held in their hand. So even a plain guitar pick tossed out by a favorite artists becomes a priceless collector’s items to an enthusiastic fan.

But many artists used personalized guitar picks, which make them even more fun. The band’s name, their logo, or the guitarists name might be on the pick. Artists also autograph picks, or put their faces on them in some cases. These, when thrown out into a crowd or signed at an official gathering and sold, make the items even more special.

One of the first big acts to throw custom guitar picks into the audience was the rock band Cheap Trick. Rick Nielsen, the brightly-colored, ball-cap-wearing guitarist would throw hundreds of custom picks into the audience during a concert. Now, most acts have started throwing their personalized picks into the audience.

Collectors love guitar picks for several reasons. They’re small and easy to display, there’s a huge variety of colors and styles available, and they’re inexpensive and fairly easy to acquire. If you can’t make that concert in the hopes of catching a personalized pick that your favorite act throws in to the audience, then check the band’s or the artist’s website. Many sell their personalized picks online. And if they don’t, you can look in any online auction site like eBay and probably find dozens of them available.

If you’re looking for an autograph from one of your favorite musical artists, guitar picks are easy to carry for them to sign. Though they’re small, autographed guitar picks are quickly becoming a favorite among musical collectors. If you’re not lucky enough to meet your favorite for a signature, autographed guitar picks are popular items on eBay and through autograph dealers.

Sports Memorabilia -> Fan Apparel & Souvenirs -> Baseball-MLB

Baseball fan love everything about the game—the atmosphere, the rules, the players, the equipment, and especially the collectible memorabilia like baseball jerseys, the older, the better. Major League Baseball produces tons of memorabilia like bats, balls, caps, cards, logos, banners, and almost any kind of souvenir and collectible item you can think of. This merchandise is available in a variety of places. Some brick and mortar stores specialize in sports memorabilia—even furniture bearing team logos, like a Cardinals couch. Online stores offer a wide variety of products, too, and of course, online auctions are a great place to find anything you’re looking for, including sports memorabilia.

If you’re looking for collectible baseball jerseys, auctions are a great place to look. Often, teams and other organizations will offer old jerseys for auction to raise money for charity. Often these items are signed, or have special significance. This isn’t a discount way to buy the items, but at least the money spent goes for a good cause. Stores that specialize in sports merchandise carry just about every kind of jersey and every other item you could want, too.

If you can purchase memorabilia like baseball jerseys and take it to an autograph signing (or purchase it there, as things like that are typically offered for sale specifically so you can have them signed) then you have a one-of-a-kind piece of sports memorabilia made even more special if the athlete uses your name. The ones bearing only a signature will fetch a much higher price should you decide to sell the item at auction—if your buyers can be convinced the signature is real, that is.

When purchasing baseball jerseys online or just about anywhere, the first thing you want to do is make sure the tag is intact. It’s a common trick among those who try to sell “official” merchandise to cut the tag out so you can’t verify the manufacturer. Chances are fairly high that if the tag’s gone, the item isn’t genuine. These days, with a good printer and software almost anyone can produce sports t-shirts, jerseys, baseball caps, and virtually anything that mimics the look of official merchandise. Look for the MLB tag on the item to ensure that you’re getting a genuine baseball jersey.

When it comes to buying autographed baseball jerseys, there are a number of things you can do to ensure the item is genuine. While it’s always best to get the autograph yourself so there’s no doubt, if you do want to purchase one, ask if any pictures were taken at the signing. All autograph dealers don’t do this, but some very reputable ones will show a picture of he celebrity or athlete signing the item.

Look at the athlete’s autograph from other sources. Make sure the autograph you’re looking at is genuine, and compare the photos carefully. Remember, though, a talented forger can do wonders, so you at least understand the risk when purchasing autographed baseball jerseys from dealers and other sources.

Memorabilia -> Music Memorabilia -> Rock, Pop

Music memorabilia has always been popular, and although we associate it primarily with today’s rock and pop musicians, the practice of collecting items for musicians and groups dates back many hundred years. In fact, in Japan, before mass printing was used on a wide scale, it was common to have artists actually create posters of popular figures. Now, it’s a lot easier to collect and afford music memorabilia and it is more popular than ever. Let’s take a look at some of the best kinds of collectibles that are available right now.

Rock, Pop

By far, this is the most popular form of music memorabilia. You can find items from your favorite artists and bands very easily and there are many different types of items that you can collect. The most popular forms are t-shirts, posters, signed photographs as well as special collectibles that can usually only be found at concerts. While many of these items are more novelty items than actual collectibles, if they do carry an original autograph, they will be worth more money. The star that signs it will also determine just how much a piece of memorabilia may be worth.

Country

It may not be as universally loved as rock or pop, but country music is quickly growing in popularity. As a result the music memorabilia for country artists is also becoming more valuable. Once again, the most popular forms are tshirts and posters, but you can also find a few unique items on sale every once in awhile. Signed cowboy hats are very popular, and many stars are putting out their own lines of clothing, boots and hats, as well as special collector’s editions pick-up trucks.

Opera

When you think of the opera, one of the last things that springs to mind is memorabilia, but you may be surprised to learn that there is a very dedicated, albeit small, group of people that do collect opera memorabilia. This market trends towards signed programs or pictures. Many of these items are only available at high-end auctions.

Musicals

In the past fifty years, Broadway musicals have become a very important part of American culture, and you can find many different types of music memorabilia for this genre. Since props are so integral to performances, at the end of a run, many will be signed by the cast and auctioned off. Lobby cards, posters, programs and special autographed pictures of the stars are also very popular.

Jazz

Even though the jazz movement is small, the fans are die-hard and there are many great unique forms of music memorabilia connected with this movement. For example, B.B. King released a collectible, signed guitar that sold very well. Most of these items are directly related to the music and posters are generally not as common, unless they are signed.

If you’re trying to find music memorabilia, the best places to look are at music stores, second hand shops and of course, online auctions. Flea markets and garage sales are another great place to find unique items that may even be rare.

Sports Memorabilia -> Autographs – Original -> Golf – PGA

While the sport of golf may not be quite as popular as football or baseball, it still has its share of rabid fans and when you’ve got a fan base like that, you’re guaranteed that there will be a demand for golf memorabilia. Throughout the past few years, as greats like Tiger Woods have risen to prominence, there has been a resurgence in popularity of golf memorabilia and many collectors are desperate to get their hands on some.

If you’re looking for golf memorabilia, but you’re not quite sure what you should be collecting, here’s a quick guide to get you started.

Autographed Golf Balls

One of the best types of golf memorabilia are autographed golf balls and good ones can be hard to come by. Fans will usually sit at tournaments and hope that they can get their favorite player to come by and give them an autograph. For those that can’t make it in person, there are many shops that sell licensed merchandise and you can usually find a few of these in stock. However, the rarest will be typically found at auction, or online if a private collector decides to sell theirs.

Pin Flags

This is a very unique kind of golf memorabilia and one that is highly sought after. Typically, you can find autographed pin flags after a major tournament. The winner will usually sign the flag for the eighteenth green. However, in some cases, especially at charity events, you may even find flags signed by everyone that took part in the tournament. This is a fun collectible and one that is great to display in your home.

Signed Photographs

These are another popular form of golf memorabilia. Fans of the sport will typically go in person to get autographed photos, or special commemorative editions are sometimes released. Once again, the best place to find these photos is at auction or at a special golf memorabilia store. In many cases, you can also buy a photograph, and send it to the agent of your favorite player in order to have it autographed. This method is hit or miss, but many have reported success with it.

Bobbleheads

Like most sports, you can find bobbleheads golf memorabilia. While these may not be as valuable as other types of memorabilia, they are fun to collect. Most of the top players in the PGA will have their own bobblehead and occasionally companies will release special collector editions that are a bit more valuable.

Special Golf Clubs

If you’re looking for a unique piece of golf memorabilia, every once in awhile you can find autographed golf clubs. These are usually auctioned off for charity purposes, but every once in awhile they will be released for a special occasion or event. This type of golf memorabilia can be expensive, but for true fans of the game, it’s more than worth the expense.

Now that you know what kind of golf memorabilia to buy, you can start adding to your personal collection.

Rare collectibles are items that are perceived to be hard to find by a collectible, and they may also be antique in nature seeing as many antique collectibles are also rare collectibles. Any item that has a high quality craftsmanship, that is relatively old in nature and that reflects the past well can be considered to be a rare collectible. The concept of rare collectibles is partially objective and partially subjective based on how you look at it. For example, rare collectibles can be perceived to be any collectible that is rare, such as a mint condition baseball trading card with an autograph, of which there are only three in the world. Rare collectibles may also be obscure items that only appeal to certain people, like ancient coins found in Mayan temples.

The common denominator in all rare collectibles is that they are considered to be rare no matter what they are or how old they are. Some rare collectibles are relatively modern, such as autographs from a recently deceased sports star or movie star, while other rare collectibles are virtually ancient in nature and therefore cannot be reproduced or found in good condition. Rare collectibles can be from any time period and can fall into any category of items, the only requirement is that they are rare to come by and considered to be collectible by someone.

There are a wide variety of different items that can be perceived as rare collectibles including:

• Rare antique coins,
• Rare limited edition stamps,
• Rare pottery items from civilizations long extinct,
• Rare antique furniture that managed to maintain a solid condition,
• Rare paper documents that are still legible,
• Rare weapons from wars and old civilizations and cultures,
• Rare cultural items that cannot be reproduced,
• Collectibles autographed by deceased individuals,
• Travel souvenirs that are difficult to come by,
• The list goes on and on.

There is not one single place where rare collectibles come from, nor a single time period, category of item, or any other detail. Rare collectibles is actually a very broad category of collectibles, and collectors typically fine tune their collection interest by finding a specific type of rare collectible that they would like to collect for themselves. For example, some people collect cultural jewelry that is rare, while other people focus on a certain civilization’s coins. Some people collect rare sports memorabilia while other people prefer rare autographed pieces of memorabilia like concert tickets, theater playbills and movie posters. It does not matter what you decide to collect, as long as you perceive the collection to be valuable and meaningful to you. Just keep in mind that rare collectibles are typically more costly collectibles. This means you may have trouble coming by some of the collectibles that you are interested in, if you are unable to budget for them.

One of the most important aspects of collecting any type of memorabilia is the ability to determine what memorabilia is authentic memorabilia and what is not. This is especially vitally important when it comes to autographed memorabilia in a variety of different arenas such as sports star memorabilia and movie star memorabilia. If you enjoy collecting in a realm where having authentic memorabilia is an important consideration for you to make, then knowing how to identify real authentic memorabilia in comparison to fake memorabilia is vitally important for you.

The FBI has recently reported that as much as 70 percent of all autographed pieces of sports memorabilia are actually inauthentic, or otherwise fake. This is a truly astounding number if you think about it. The best way that you can possibly ensure that your autograph is really and truly authentic is to have the athlete sign the memorabilia for you, in front of you. The next best thing if you cannot have this happen is to have a reputable sports memorabilia company authenticate the autographed memorabilia for you. You need to put a large amount of emphasis on the concept of reputable, because there are also companies out there that are not reputable and should be avoided at all costs as a result.

One example of a reputable sports memorabilia company that you can rely on to provide you with authentication of your memorabilia is Upper Deck. They originally started their memorabilia authentication process in the year 1992 in order to give collectors the confidence that they needed that the memorabilia they were purchasing was going to be the real deal rather than one of the 70 percent of phonies and forgeries out there. There is a five step patented program that Upper Deck employers in order to authenticate the memorabilia that they sell to their customers. First and foremost, every single autograph is witnessed by an Upper Deck representative, or it is not considered to be authentic.

Next, a document is signed by both the athlete and the representative that documents the autograph session. A hologram featuring a serial number is secured to accompany the signed sports memorabilia, and then a certificate of authenticity featuring a similar hologram is assigned to each of the pieces of memorabilia. Finally, each and every piece of authentic sports memorabilia is packaged with a card for registration that allows the owner to register their item with the Upper Deck Company, allowing their registration to be logged in a permanent file along with the document providing the authentication for the memorabilia. Should the item change hands, the new owner will be provided with a complete history of the item from when it was signed until when it was received.

This is one of the best possible ways that you can make sure that your memorabilia is authentic, so if you are looking for memorabilia that you can trust based on its authenticity, you should see what Upper Deck has to offer.

Are you thinking about collecting autographed sport memorabilia? If you are interested in creating a sports collection of some kind, one of the options that is available to you is collecting autographed sport memorabilia. If you want to add autographed collectibles to your own personal collection, what you may like to do is write personal letters to the sports stars that you appreciate the best, asking them if they can send you an autographed piece of sports memorabilia. This is a relatively inexpensive way for you to add autographed souvenirs to your sports collection. The process of collecting autographed sport memorabilia is definitely not difficult, but it takes patience to get responses from sports stars.

What many people do when they are going about collecting autographed sport memorabilia is that they send items that they hope to have signed like vintage photographs, newspapers, magazines and sports cards. Send the item to the sports star with a personalized, hand written note and mail out the parcel in hopes to receive a response. If you really want to receive an autographed response, then you are also going to need to include an SASE which stands for Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope, which is going to allow for the item to be returned to you more efficiently. This shows the sports star how serious you are about receiving a piece of autographed memorabilia for your collection. In advance of mailing out an item, you are going to have to decide what kind of item you really want to have signed, because you are really only going to have one shot at getting the autograph that you seek when you are collecting autographed sport memorabilia.

A really popular item to choose when you are collecting autographed sport memorabilia is sports cards because they are really inexpensive to purchase as well as to mail. You should only need to use a single first class stamp in order to mail an index card or a sports card in a letter, where as newspapers as well as magazines require larger envelopes and more postage. You should make sure to bubble wrap or otherwise protect the memorabilia so that you get back a mint condition autographed piece of sports memorabilia rather than a folded or torn one.

It is generally advisable that you not send large items like jerseys, bats and balls in the mail when you are collecting autographed sport memorabilia. These types of items are better off being signed in person when you attend a convention or a game. There is nothing wrong with wanting these types of items when you are collecting autographed sport memorabilia, but they will not travel well through the mail. When you are asking for autographs through the mail, you should be asking for autographs on small pieces of memorabilia like sports cards and ticket stubs.

Most people who are sports enthusiasts, and that collect autographed baseball memorabilia are thrilled when they find the perfect item and it happens to also be autographed by one of their favorite sports stars. This happens to be especially true when the piece of autographed baseball memorabilia is a well preserved bat that has the autograph of the player etched directly into the wood, or written directly on the bat.

This is about more than simply meaning a lot to any collector that has such an item, but the item is typically considered to be priceless because it is hard to replicate these kinds of items. The collector will likely also be aware of the fact that items like these are difficult to preserve, especially when you are talking about vintage baseball bats. In such a regard, the list below is going to detail some of the things that you can do in order to retain your autographed baseball memorabilia in the most preserved state possible.

In order to preserve and to protect your baseball bat, you should lightly spray the area that has been autographed using aerosol hairspray. The hairspray contains lacquer, and this will seal the area without causing any damage to the autograph. However, before you take any chances with spraying your beloved autographed baseball memorabilia, you should try testing that brand of hairspray out on a similar ink type on a separate bat or piece of paper to make sure that the brand you choose is not going to cause any undue harm to your memorabilia.

Once the hairspray has become dry and has sealed the autograph in, you should try only to handle the baseball bat one last time, placing it wherever you plan to store it. The more that you handle a vintage piece of autographed baseball memorabilia, the quicker it is going to deteriorate over time. Every time that you handle the bat you have one more instance of your autographed baseball memorabilia decreasing in value. Unless it is absolutely necessary for you to do so, try to avoid handling this autographed baseball memorabilia at all costs.

Humidity is capable of destroying collectibles. Make sure, then, that you keep your autographed baseball memorabilia away from any opportunities for humidity. Not only could the signature be destroyed when exposed to humidity, but the bat itself could also deteriorate detrimentally because it is made from wood, which can swell and change shape.

It makes sense to want to share your autographed baseball memorabilia with your friends, but make sure that your most valuable memorabilia is stored in protective casing in order to protect it as best as you possibly can. Protecting your autographed baseball memorabilia is vitally important if you want to keep it around for a long time.

One of the keys to sports autographed memorabilia is to know whether or not your sports memorabilia is actually authentic. A lot of people find themselves wondering how they can be able to tell whether or not their sports autographed memorabilia is authentic. The bad news is that it is hard to simply know. Unless you managed to see the actual athlete autograph the item with your very own eyes, then you really cannot ever be 100% certain. However, it is important to know with sports autographed memorabilia that there are certain steps that can be taken to try and make sure that you are purchasing only authentic pieces of sports autographed memorabilia.

First and foremost, determine who actually authenticated the piece in question. Who was the original authenticator? If there is no type of written guarantee associated with the authenticity of the piece of sports autographed memorabilia, then do not buy it under any circumstances.

First and foremost, you are going to want to find sports autographed memorabilia that has been authenticated by a company that is reputable. If the certificate of authenticity comes from a reputable firm such as Tri Star, Upper Deck, Steiner Sports or even Mounted Memories, then you are almost certainly dealing with an autographed piece of memorabilia that is actually authentic. These are companies that have contracts with athletes, and they bring the athletes in to have the items autographed personally.

There is another company to look out for, which is Online COA. This is a third party company handling authentications. They personally witness every single autograph that they give an authentication to. They are there for authenticating more than for buying and selling pieces of sports autographed memorabilia, so you can rely on their authentications since they are not in it for the money but simply want to make sure that your sports autographed memorabilia is legitimate.

Something else to look out for is whether or not there is a money back guarantee for the sports autographed memorabilia that you buy. The company or the dealer that is selling the piece of sports autographed memorabilia to you should be willing to provide you with a money back guarantee should you find that the piece is not actually real.

Next, you should be willing to pay a little more for an authentic autograph when it comes to sports autographed memorabilia. If you find something for really cheap on eBay, then the autograph is probably fraudulent. You are going to find cheap sports autographed memorabilia out there, but there’s no telling if its real or not. Real, authentic autographs are actually worth something and the dealers selling them know it. You need to be aware of this too in order to make sure that you only buy authentic, legitimate sports autographed memorabilia.
