Collecting vintage sports cards is something that has been a part of the culture in America ever since the 1800s. During these times, collecting boxing cards was especially popular. Then when the late 1800s as well as the early 1900s rolled around, baseball ended up emerging as the popular type of sports card for many collectors to be able to deal in. As a boy, there was an inherent thrill in collecting vintage sports cards that was truly amazing. Today, the idea of owning something like a Honus Wagner or a Babe Ruth is truly unbelievably thrilling. With so many players all through the years, the ability for you to profit from buying and selling vintage sports cards has become truly amazing.

One of the greatest parts of vintage sports cards is that it is all really just a click away. The internet has made it possible for the market to be opened up for trading sports cards as well as other types of sporting memorabilia as well. My own vintage sports cards collection has grown to several thousand cards and I am constantly buying and selling vintage sports cards to suit my interests as I go along. As my interests in certain players change, I sell those cards and buy new cards. My collection of vintage sports cards is constantly evolving and changing and this is one of the most beautiful things about dealing in vintage sports cards. I have some truly incredible vintage sports cards in my collection, too, cards that I would never part with. You will run into cards like this too – You will fall in love with certain vintage sports cards that you simply cannot get rid of no matter what the price is.

Making a profit in selling and trading vintage sports cards is something that is going to require a significant amount of research. You are going to want to travel to vintage sports card shows and other special events, and you will also want to pay a visit to yard sales, garage sales, estate sales and antique stores as well to find the vintage sports cards that you are looking for.

There are a number of different factors that are going to go into buying vintage sports cards and determining their value. These factors include the stats of the player, their hall of fame status, the rarity of the card, the quality of the card and other similar details. All vintage sports cards can be ranked based on mint, excellent, good, fair and poor. When you buy vintage sports cards, make sure that you are only buying the ones that are going to improve your collection and your future profits rather than being detrimental to them.

Collecting vintage sports cards is fun whether you sell them or not. Just do what feels right.

Many people get excited about autographed sports memorabilia when they find it for a good price, and as a result, many people purchase so called authentic autographed sports memorabilia without investigating the authenticity of said memorabilia. 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.

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.

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’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?

- * When buying autographed sports memorabilia, you should be aiming to deal with reputable sources that actually conduct the autograph signing themselves including for example Steiner Sports, Upper Deck and Mounted Memories.

- * When it comes to purchasing autographed sports memorabilia, you should always look for a COA, 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.

- * You absolutely need to make sure that the item and the certificate of authenticity align with one another. There should be a company hologram on the COA. Many of today’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 autographed sports memorabilia.

Learning how to buy sports memorabilia and collect sports memorabilia is something that can be both profitable and enjoyable at the same time. 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.

What are officially licensed products?

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.

What are limited editions?

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.

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.

When you have the certified signature from a professional athlete on your collectible sports memorabilia, 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.

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.

When you are seeking out a sports memorabilia appraisal for an item that you own, there are two ways that you can do it: The first way is to have it done in person using a specialist in the field of sports memorabilia appraisals, and the other way is to send the item to an appraiser by way of certified mail. Typically after your sports memorabilia appraisal has been completed, a certificate of authenticity will be issued. This needs to be kept in a safe place until the point where you are interested in selling it to someone else. Appraisers can be found online or through your local phone book. You may also find online sports memorabilia appraisal services through Heritage Auctions, Sports Artifacts and Sports Value Consulting, which are websites online where more information can be found.

Beginning a Collection

Many people begin a sports memorabilia collection when they find a single special item that interests them. It is typically wise to begin with an item that you are rather fond of. If you are collecting items that have absolutely no personal meaning to you at all whatsoever, then you may end up with a collection that is disappointing and lacking in resale value as well. In other words, when adding items to your collection, not only should you be choosing items that suit your interest but you should also receive a sports memorabilia appraisal for each item so that you can make sure you are dealing with collector’s pieces that are worth having in your collection to begin with.

If your passion is about baseball, then you should consider starting a baseball themed collection such as a baseball card collection, a baseball bat collection or a baseball autograph collection. You can receive a sports memorabilia appraisal for each of these items to make sure that it is well suited for your unique collection. There are people all over the world collecting different items to suit their needs and you can do this too. There is absolutely reason why you cannot find a collection that suits your interests while bringing you a nice investment and future profit as well.

The greatest value from a sports memorabilia collection lies in your own personal satisfaction rather than the sports memorabilia appraisal that you receive for your collection. Would you consider collecting an item if it did not have any resale value attached to it? Make sure that you are going to want to collect the item either way so that you do not end up cluttering your home with sports memorabilia that you aren’t actually interested in. This is the best way to make sure that you benefit from your sports collection no matter what happens in the future.

With a Stanley Cup Playoff that is looking more and more like a repeat of last year, what is happening to the interest and the viewership of the Stanley Cup playoff games?

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.

The Penguin’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’s performance.

He’s put out some pretty incredible effort to earn these goals, too. They haven’t been just rebounds in the crease. A couple he pulled out of the air and batted them into the net, and he’s found new ways to get to the net, not just he standard lanes.

With the Red Wings, looking to Marian Hossa  was a nice addition to the team that didn’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 – as usually, Detriot has it.

The Penguin’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.

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’s made a difference in the Stanley Cup playoffs so far this year, will it continue?

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.

While he admits he didn’t have the right focus coming into the season, he is mentally back and ready to go. He’s back to the winning style that carried him last season, and looks like he’ll take it through the Stanley Cup Playoff in 2009 as well.

While it’s hard to say if there’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.

The question is, will such variations in seasoning matter if the dessert lands in Detroit?

Sports Memorabilia -> Vintage Sports Memorabilia -> Bobbleheads

Bobblehead dolls may be considered silly by some, but there is definitely a national craze to collect them. Whether it is of a famous personality, sports hero, or even a cartoon character, these fun collectibles can be found just about anywhere. While the garden variety bobbleheads are not really all that valuable, there are a few out there that will actually be worth quite a bit of money. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the diamonds in the rough.

1. Mickey Mantle Bobbleheads

These are perhaps the most sought after bobbleheads, and they are incredibly valuable. Look for the ones that were produced during 1961, when Mantle was going up against Marris. These were once sold for a mere dollar, but now can bring ten times that amount at auction, or even more. It’s rare to find one that is still in good condition, but flea markets and online auctions are a great place to start. Look for Mickey Mantle bobbleheads that don’t have any cracks in the finish and that are still generally in great condition. These will be the most valuable.

2. Secretariat Bobblehead

Although you wouldn’t think of a horse as being the prime candidate for immortalization as a bobblehead, the Secretariat dolls are incredibly collectible. These were produced during the horse’s quest for the Triple Crown, and since he holds such a high place in horse history and in the hearts of race fans everywhere, these dolls are actually highly sought after. Look for one that still has all the original paint and bright colors and you may just find one that is worth more than $850.

3. Cal Ripken Jr Bobblehead

Not all Cal Ripken Jr bobbleheads are worth money, so you’re going to want to keep your eyes open for the ones that were produced in 2001, when he was awarded game MVP. This doll will have an All Stars label as well as the number of the collectible. Only 2001 of these bobbleheads were produced, so finding one for sale won’t be easy. Once again, look for these at online auction sites, flea markets or even yard sales. You never know, you may just stumble on one of these highly collectible bobbleheads.

4. Disney Sports Bobbleheads

If you can find older Disney sports bobbleheads, they are usually worth a pretty penny, especially to someone that collects Disney memorabilia. These are easy enough to find if you hang around flea markets or go garage sale shopping. Most may not know just how valuable these dolls are, especially if they happen to have one of the prototype models from specific companies.

5. Commemorative Bobbleheads

A good rule of thumb to follow is that if a bobblehead is commemorating a specific event, such as a World Series win, or something in sports history, chances are it’s going to be pretty valuable. Always look for the ones that are part of a limited edition since they will definitely be worth the most amount of money and can sell for thousands at auction.

Sports Memorabilia

Even today’s modern kids who might not even watch baseball or be able to name one single player have heard the name Joe DiMaggio. His name is synonymous with baseball and sports, as he was part of the game during its glory days, when it seemed every American boy dreamed of seeing the Yankees or the Dodgers play ball in their home stadium and win the World Series. He played for the New York Yankees during his entire pro baseball career, something rarely seen today.

Joe DiMaggio was born in 1914 in Martinez, California, the 8th child of 9 born to Sicilian immigrants. His family moved to San Francisco a year later. His father wanted him to be a fisherman like he and his father before him, but the smell of the boat made Joe nauseous, so he had no desire to walk in his father’s footsteps. Joe played semi-pro ball until 1934, when he tore some knee ligaments and the Seals, the team that wanted to sell him to a pro team found themselves with an injured player that no one would pay for.

The Chicago Cubs wouldn’t even allow Joe to try out because of the injury, but the New York Yankees’ scout was impressed and bought his contract, for a quarter of the prices the Seals had hoped to get. He stayed with the Seals for the next season, and became their Most Valuable Player, before the switch was made to the New York Yankees. Joe DiMaggio batted for the first time in the major leagues in 1936, right before Lou Gehrig’s turn at bat.

DiMaggio did something no one else had done before by getting 75 home runs in his first two major league baseball seasons. They won the first 4 Fall Classics after bringing Joe onto the team, and ending up winning 9 titles over the next 13 years. Joe DiMaggio was often compared to baseball greats Babe Ruth, Joe Jackson and Ty Cobb by sportswriters, also earning him the nicknames Joltin’ Joe and The Yankee Clipper. Several years after his retirement in 1951 he was voted the greatest living baseball player by a poll of pro players in 1969.

Throughout his career, Joe DiMaggio won three Most Valuable Player awards and was an All-Star 13 times. He still holds the distinction of the being the only baseball player in history who was an All-Star every season in which he played. He set a record with a 56-game hitting streak, and managed to hit in 72 out of 73 games, an impressive achievement. Just two years before his retirement, in 1949, he was regarded as the best baseball player, but injuries and the pain they caused led to his retirement just two years later. He entered the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955.

Popular Joe DiMaggio collectibles are baseball jerseys bearing his retired #5, New York Yankees sports memorabilia that’s tied to DiMaggio, particularly from his early career, and autographed items.

Sports Memorabilia -> Autographs-Original -> Racing-Nascar

Richard Petty is a NASCAR driving legend. Known as “The King,” he was one of the most fan-friendly sports figures in the history of racing or any sport, always willing to sign autographs and engage with the fans for as long as they remained after each event. He holds the distinction of winning the NASCAR championship 7 times along with only one other racer, fellow racing legend Dale Earnhardt.

Richard Petty won a career total of 200 races, and few will argue with the claim that he’s the greatest NASCAR driver in history. Racing was in his blood from birth, it seemed, because his father, won the very first Daytona 500 (of which Richard would win 7) in 1959, and was a 3-time NASCAR championship winner. His son, Kyle, is a NASCAR driver, too. His grandson, Adam, died in 2000 while racing.

Richard Petty won his first Daytona 500 in 1964 and his second in 1966, making him the first NASCAR driver to win it twice. He became a drag racer in 1965, while he boycotted the Daytona 500 due to their ban of a certain type of engine. During a crash in Georgia that year, 7 people were injured and an 8-year-old boy in the crowd was killed.

In 1967, back to regular NASCAR driving, Richard Petty won over half of the races he competed in, earning him the nickname “King Richard.” In 1969, Petty switched from Plymouths to Ford, but then went back to driving a Plymouth in 1970 because of the look of the Plymouth Superbird. He won his last NASCAR championship, his 7th, in 1979, after not winning a single race in 1978, in part because he couldn’t seem to “break in” the Dodge he drove.

Richard Petty announced his pending retirement in 1991, stating that after the 1992 season he would retire. He went on a year-long tour around the country, meeting with fans and enjoying his celebrity. His last race was Jeff Gordon’s first career start.

In 1993, Richard Petty crawled back into a race car, driving several laps around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and then donating the car to the track’s museum. In 2003 he drove a solo lap to commemorate his 7 Winston Cups at the Homestead Miami Speedway. And in 2007, he drove a Daytona car during the pace laps at the Pepsi 400. Petty was as famous for the crashes he survived as he was the races he won, and was famous for his willingness to talk to fans and stand sometimes for hours to be sure none were missed if they were waiting to get his autograph or talk to him.
Richard Petty autographs aren’t hard to come by because of his career-long willingness to sign them. Just be sure to compare any you find in an online auction or shop with known examples of his signature for authenticity. You can find jackets, posters, programs, replicas of his cars and tons of other items at large marketplaces like eBay.
