<a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OUOvEZJlKMF8DM2uoIe4APKLdas/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OUOvEZJlKMF8DM2uoIe4APKLdas/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><img src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-history/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sports.jpg" alt="sports" title="sports" width="240" height="180" class="left" />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 <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Sports-Collectibles/Autographs-Original">autographed collectibles</a> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>A really popular item to choose when you are <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Sports-Collectibles/Autographs-Original">collecting autographed sport memorabilia</a> 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. </p>
<p>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.</p>

The question that all buyers should be asking when shopping for autographed sports memorabilia online or in person is whether or not the memorabilia is authentic, or rather, whether or not the autograph is authentic.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there has been a recent proliferation of fraudulent autographed sports memorabilia in the marketplace today. As a result, one of the main considerations to make when it comes to purchasing any type of autographed memorabilia is to verify the authenticity of said item. Unless you have personally witnessed the autographing of the item, it will be hard to be completely 100% sure that your autographed sports memorabilia is in fact legitimate. </p>
<p>For most fans and collectors, getting an autographed piece of memorabilia is not necessarily viable. As a result, many people rely on the ability to purchase autographed sports memorabilia through online and brick and mortar retailers, and they are left to wonder if the memorabilia they are purchasing is legitimate or not. If you&#8217;re a collector of autographed sports memorabilia and you are having trouble acquiring the autographs that you seek, then what are you left to do?</p>
<p>- * When buying autographed sports memorabilia, you should be aiming to deal with <strong>reputable sources</strong> that actually conduct the autograph signing themselves including for example Steiner Sports, Upper Deck and Mounted Memories.</p>
<p>- * When it comes to purchasing autographed sports memorabilia, you should <strong>always look for a COA</strong>, which stands for certificate of authenticity. Buyers need to be careful to make sure that the certificate of authenticity truly is suggesting that the item is authentic, which means that the certificate of authenticity should also be authentic. The most significant thing to look out for when it comes to a certificate of authenticity is who is actually responsible for issuing the certificate. </p>
<p>- * You absolutely need to <strong>make sure that the item and the certificate of authenticity align with one another</strong>. There should be a company hologram on the COA. Many of today&#8217;s athletes have their own special holograms and COAs, meaning you can make sure that the merchandise is authentic before you purchase it. A few years ago this was not the case, and as a result, many fraudulent pieces of autographed sports memorabilia were being released using legitimate COAs, but this is no longer happening. Sports stars and the companies releasing their memorabilia are definitely taking steps to make sure that collectors are not going to be ripped off or misled, but it is still vital that collectors do their due diligence when it comes to <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Sports-Collectibles/Autographs-Original">autographed sports memorabilia</a>.</p>

<a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ven9J7yxBqggnGP-QssFp7cfaK0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ven9J7yxBqggnGP-QssFp7cfaK0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><img src="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-history/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/racing.jpg" alt="racing" title="racing" width="180" height="240" class="left" />If you are serious about <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Baseball-MLB/Index-Cards">collecting sports cards</a> of any type, then you are going to want to have an understanding of what you can do to determine sport cards values as well. When it comes to the sports card collecting hobby or past time, there are certain questions that are simply unavoidable, such as how much the cards are worth, and where you can go to obtain the sport cards values that you need. Even collectors that are not looking for a profit in this hobby are still often curious about sport cards values because it&#8217;s nice to know the value of your card collection regardless of whether or not you intend to sell it.</p>
<p><strong>There is good news:</strong> There are plenty of price guides available that will list out the book values for nearly every sports card that was ever printed. The biggest issue however, is that not all guides offering sport cards values are created equally. Pricing your <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Basketball-NBA/Index-Cards">sport cards</a> values is going to be a lot like participating in carpentry, where making sure that you are using the proper tool for the job is vitally important.</p>
<p>As an experienced card collector, you may know where to go in order to find the <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Boxing/Index-Cards">sport cards</a> values that you are looking for, but newcomers may have difficulty finding the values that they seek. If you feel like you are having trouble determining sport cards values because you do not know where to go or who to trust, consider this: There are a couple of different primary options that are available to you including book price guides and online price guides. The quickest by far way to determine <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Football-NFL/Index-Cards">sport cards</a> values is through the internet.</p>
<p>An excellent place to search for <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Golf-PGA/Index-Cards">sport cards</a> values is through http://www.beckett.com. The sports collecting magazines put out by Beckett happen to be some of the world&#8217;s most well known resources for sport cards values. All of the cards that are listed in their magazines are also capable of being found online. Beckett goes through and updates the card values frequently to make sure that you have the information that you need.</p>
<p>Another excellent place to find information on <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Hockey-NHL/Index-Cards">sport cards</a> values is http://www.TuffStuff.com, but this website only uses the website&#8217;s pricing area as a supplement to the magazine, which is Sports Collectors Monthly, where as Beckett lists every card in the magazine online as well. Still, here you will be able to find pricing for a number of different sports card varieties including football cards, baseball cards, basketball cards, racing cards and other types of memorabilia as well beyond sport cards values.</p>
<p>There are also obviously a number of monthly <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Racing-NASCAR/Index-Cards">sport cards</a> value guides that you can choose such as Beckett Sports Card Monthly, and Sports Collectors Monthly from Tuff Stuff. These are inexpensive guides that are portable and make keeping track of sport cards values relatively easy as well. These are trusted names in determining sport cards values. </p>

Perhaps you have always had an interest in sports, or perhaps you just love collecting items of value. If you are interested in creating your own sport collection, you need to know where to start as well as how to get the most out of the memorabilia that you buy. Sports memorabilia purchased for a sport collection can be truly worthwhile if you decide to purchase memorabilia with a significant past or a significant price tag attached. Today many adults are collecting the same <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Baseball-MLB/Index-Cards">baseball cards</a> and other memorabilia that they kept in shoe boxes as kids. Have you allowed your sport collection to grow with you, or is it time to start a new one?</p>
<p>People have been building up their own unique sport collection concepts for as long as there have been sports to be fans of. This does not mean that all sport related stuff is worth anything. Do not simply go out and collect anything relating to a specific sport, otherwise you will end up with a lot of merchandise that is not worth the paper it is printed on, or the cloth, or so on. What you are going to want to do is become well versed in the sport, its history, the memorabilia that is popular, what people are looking for, and so on. The more that you research when it comes to building a sport collection, the better you will prosper in the end. There is no way for you to tell how much a certain item is going to be worth until you do your homework to figure out what people are actually going to be willing to pay for it.</p>
<p>If you have a favorite baseball or <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-memorabilia/Autographs-Original/Football-NFL">football team</a>, you should study the history of each player to find out who was the best back in the day. You should also specifically look for players that have unique characteristics and qualifications that make their sport collection memorabilia stand out. Sometimes a single unique skill or unusual event will be capable of driving up the price of sports memorabilia significantly. Make sure to study the coaches, the rookies and other special edition memorabilia to build a sport collection that is truly great.</p>
<p>Another thing to keep in mind when building your sport collection is that you need to make sure you are shopping at reputable dealers because there are people out there that are less than reputable. Make sure that you are dealing with people that you can trust. All sports memorabilia should be capable of being authenticated, and do not settle for anything less. This way, you will be safe, and you will be able to guarantee that your entire sport collection is authentic and worth the money that you paid for it.</p>

Here are some tips, some definitions and some examples that are going to help you to better understand the entire process for learning how to buy sports memorabilia and enjoy sports memorabilia in a collection.</p>
<h3>What are officially licensed products?</h3>
<p>These are products that have come to be because a professional athletic association has granted permission to a company to display a team logo, name or trademark on a product. An item that is officially licensed will typically have a tag or a sticker that indicates that the item has been officially licensed by a professional athletic association such as the NHL, NASCAR, NFL, NCAA, MLB or NBA for example.</p>
<h3>What are limited editions?</h3>
<p>When you buy sports memorabilia that is noted as being a limited edition collectible, what this means is that there are only a certain number of that item that were produced or that were autographed. There are typically going to be two different numbers that are displayed on such a collectible, one which is high and one which is low. The high number is indicating the total number of limited edition items that were produced and the lower number is indicating what number yours is out of the total. </p>
<p>With limited editions, the only way that the number is going to be the same in both numbers is if you have received the last limited edition item out of the total number of items that was produced. Most of these limited edition items are going to come with what is known as a certificate of authenticity, which is important even if the item is not actually autographed because what it is doing is letting you know that the item is licensed, limited edition and authentic, and this is something that you should be looking for when you buy sports memorabilia.</p>
<p>When you have the certified signature from a professional athlete on your <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/stamps/">collectible sports memorabilia</a>, then what you have is a limited edition autographed piece of sports memorabilia. These signatures can appear on baseball cards, pictures, jerseys, balls and any other piece of memorabilia or equipment. The signature absolutely must be certified in order for the memorabilia to be worth anything, so when you buy sports memorabilia, make sure that you are getting the piece verified before you purchase it in order to verify its authenticity. </p>
<p>There are a lot of things that go into how rare or how limited edition an item is including the popularity or talent of the particular athlete, the number of items available to the public, if there is a hologram on the item and the condition of the item, though there are many other criteria as well.</p>

Grading cards is serious business because having a trustworthy system for grading cards is an important thing when it comes to the baseball cards collecting hobby. </p>
<p><strong>The most common grading system that is used when it comes to buying and selling baseball trading cards is the Professional Sports Authenticator or PSA system. </strong>If you are looking for assistance in grading your baseball trading cards, then this is a good authentication system on which to base your findings. It ranges from 10 down to 1, with the following specifications:</p>
<p><strong>Grade 10 &#8211; Gem Mint Grade -</strong> This grade is for baseball trading cards that are as perfect as they can possibly be. Their corners are still sharp, their colors are still glossy, and there is no staining on marks on the card at all. Another characteristic of baseball trading cards that are Gem Mint grade is that their image is properly centered. </p>
<p><strong>Grade 9 &#8211; Mint Grade -</strong> With this grade, the baseball trading cards only possess minor flaws, such as a slight imperfection in printing or an image that is slightly off center, but the card is otherwise in excellent condition.</p>
<p><strong>Grade 8 &#8211; Near Mint-Mint Grade -</strong> In this grade, you have baseball trading cards that are excellent but they may have slight fraying or borders that are slightly off-white.</p>
<p><strong>Grade 7 &#8211; Near Mint Grade -</strong> In this grade, a close inspection of the baseball trading card may reveal slight wear to the surface or corners that are slightly frayed. The image should be mostly glossy. </p>
<p><strong>Grade 6 &#8211; Excellent-Mint Grade -</strong> Baseball trading cards receiving this grade may have surface wear that is visible or some sort of printing defect without costing any overall appeal. </p>
<p><strong>Grade 5 &#8211; Excellent Grade &#8211; </strong>The baseball trading cards that receive this grade are in excellent condition but may have some minor corner rounding or chipping around the edges, and some noticeable but minor surface scratches may be present.</p>
<p><strong>Grade 4 &#8211; Very Good-Excellent Grade -</strong> The baseball trading cards in this category may have slight surface wear and some slightly rounded corners but some of their original gloss intact. </p>
<p><strong>Grade 3 &#8211; Very Good Grade -</strong> The baseball trading cards in this category may have some rounding of the corners and some slight scratching of the surface or scuffing. </p>
<p><strong>Grade 2 &#8211; Good Grade -</strong> The baseball trading cards in this category may have apparent creases or rounded corners and gloss that is no longer present.</p>
<p><strong>Grade 1 &#8211; Poor to Fair Grade -</strong> Finally, the baseball trading cards that fall into this category generally show advanced signs of wear including rounded corners, chipped and fraying edges, chipping, pitting and scuffing as well as a lack of gloss on the surface. </p>

<p>According to some experts, the casual fan may see the teams and the results so far as being virtually the same. However, those die hard hockey lovers see some differences in the teams and the situation that may lead to different results to this Stanley Cup playoff.</p>
<p>The Penguin&#8217;s Sid Crosby has become a scoring machine in the postseason. He has 14 goals in 17 games, and leads any scorer in the 2009 playoffs, a distinct change from last year&#8217;s performance.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s put out some pretty incredible effort to earn these goals, too. They haven&#8217;t been just rebounds in the crease. A couple he pulled out of the air and batted them into the net, and he&#8217;s found new ways to get to the net, not just he standard lanes.</p>
<p>With the Red Wings, looking to Marian Hossa  was a nice addition to the team that didn&#8217;t really lose any of their top name players. This addition, besides weakening Pittsburg, also opened things up for Detroit. They could split Zetterberg and Datsyuk, and play Valtteri Filppula, a player that would be a #2 center on most other teams, down to the #3 center spot. Talking about depth &#8211; as usually, Detriot has it.</p>
<p>The Penguin&#8217;s team, has also changed in the look of the defense. Because of injuries and adjustments, the Penguins now frequently play one forward down and seven defensemen. This lineup means their top two offense players, Malkin and Crosby, are often on with the fourth line wingers.</p>
<p>With the help of the beefed up defense, this has meant increased scoring and additional threats from lines that in the past might have been overlooked. It strengthens the team down the middle, freeing the wings on both offense and defense to take advantage of opportunities opened up by their strong center. It&#8217;s made a difference in the Stanley Cup playoffs so far this year, will it continue?</p>
<p>The Wings, on the other hand, entered the Stanley Cup playoff season with a renewed netminder Chris Osgood. Although the first half of the season was such a struggle that he was pulled from net by GM Ken Holland, sent on a hiatus from the team.</p>
<p>While he admits he didn&#8217;t have the right focus coming into the season, he is mentally back and ready to go. He&#8217;s back to the winning style that carried him last season, and looks like he&#8217;ll take it through the Stanley Cup Playoff in 2009 as well.</p>
<p>While it&#8217;s hard to say if there&#8217;s still as much of a gap between the Penguins and the Wings as there was last year, there are some things on each team that bring a slightly different flavor to the same Stanley Cup fare we were served in 2008.</p>
<p>The question is, will such variations in seasoning matter if the dessert lands in Detroit?</p>

Maybe you have always had a serious interest in a sport team or a sporting event. Perhaps you have collected <a href="http://www.vintageantiquecollectible.com/sports-history/category/baseball-cards/">baseball cards</a> or sports accessories or other vintage sports memorabilia all of your life. Today, many adults are collecting products and sports memorabilia that reflect their favorite players or teams. Some people even take sports memorabilia collecting to the next level by running a business. Whatever your particular passion is, here are some useful tips that will improve your ability at sports memorabilia collecting, buying and selling.</p>
<p><strong>>> Soak up as much information as you can about the industry as well as the team or player that you are collecting vintage sports memorabilia for.</strong> Just because something is old, that does not mean it is valuable &#8211; So if you are keen on collecting sports memorabilia, you need to be willing to research what will and will not be profitable as a part of your collection. The best thing that you can do is research, research and research before you buy anything. This way, you can ensure that everything you add to your sports memorabilia is worthy of being there.</p>
<p><strong>>> Shop only with reputable dealers regardless of whether you are buying online or offline.</strong> You should make sure to find several different reputable dealers that sell authentic vintage sports memorabilia and other quality products. Shop only with dealers that you feel like you can trust, and be absolutely aware of scams that exist online. If a dealer cannot provide proof that something is authentic, do not buy it. Forged signatures are worth absolutely nothing in your sports memorabilia collection. If you ever find yourself working with a dealer that does not seem reputable in any way, it is absolutely vital that you not work with that dealer, lest you be taken for a lot of money for absolutely nothing.</p>
<p><strong>>> Take proper care of all of your sports memorabilia items by protecting them while displaying them. </strong>If you have high ticket signed collectibles, then they should absolutely be protected all the time. Keep them in a dry place in your home, above the ground in case of water damage. Do not simply pack your sports memorabilia items away in plastic bags or cardboard boxes, because sealed containers like plexi glass are much more suitable. This will protect your sports memorabilia items from insects and mice. Your vintage sports memorabilia collectibles should always be stored at room temperature and away from direct exposure from the sun and exposure to moisture if you want to keep them in the best possible condition.</p>

<p>When it comes to high value sports related collectibles, sports autographs are among the best. Whether it’s an autographed baseball bat, basketball jersey or a football helmet, autographed merchandise can be worth its weight in gold. If you are interested in getting some sports autographs, but you don’t know where to look, here’s a quick guide to help you build up your collection.</p>
<h3>1. Right from the source</h3>
<p>One of the easiest ways to get sports autographs is simply to go to games and ask the players for them directly. Most will more than willing to offer autographs, but it is best to wait until after the game is over before you approach them. The majority of arenas will have an area set up where the fans can interact with the players. It will be up to the individual players as to whether or not they will actually sign something, but most will. This is the most economical way to get a sports autograph, since you will only need to purchase the item that you want to have signed. As a plus, these autographs are often personalized, making them even more special to the collector.</p>
<h3>2. From licensed vendors</h3>
<p>You can get authentic sports autographs from licensed vendors that have worked out an agreement either with a certain league or with an individual player. These stores will typically have a wide variety of merchandise available and it is fairly easy to get a hold of a popular player’s autograph this way. The major downside for many consumers is that these stores do charge premium prices for the merchandise they sell.</p>
<h3>3. From other private collectors</h3>
<p>If you are looking for vintage or rare sports autographs, this is a great way to find them. Private collectors will sometimes have a disbursement sale, or you can attend auctions and pick up some great deals. Once again, the prices will probably be a little high, but you will have access to a wide variety of different types of autographed merchandise.</p>
<h3>4. At online auctions</h3>
<p>This has become one of the most popular ways to get sports autographs. You can find literally thousands of different autographs online and many sellers have built up a great reputation for providing authentic merchandise. However, it is smart to be cautious when buying sports memorabilia online since there are some sellers that do take advantage of people. Ask for certificates of authenticity, or have the item appraised before you buy to ensure that you are getting authentic autographs.</p>
<p>These are just a few ways that the average collector can get their hands on sports autographs. Wherever you shop, just take the time to do your homework to make sure that you are getting a real piece of sports memorabilia. By following this step, you can be assured that your autograph will have more than just sentimental value.</p>
<p>Collecting sports autographs is a great hobby for kids and can help them get involved in sports. In addition, it serves as a great way to spend more quality time with your kids.</p>
