Sports Memorabilia -> Autographs – Original -> Racing – NASCAR

One of the nation’s favorite sports is racing, and Nascar is bigger than ever. If you’re a fan of Nascar, or you are just looking for a fun collectible, there are numerous different options available. Many of these are very valuable, especially for certain drivers, and the sport is growing all the time. Let’s take a look at the different types of Nascar collectibles that are currently available.

Posters

These are very popular Nascar collectibles, but they are only valuable if they are signed. You can find original authentic autographs if you are a private collector, or if you just want something that commemorates a certain event or a favorite driver, you can find posters with reprinted autographs. The most popular subjects for posters are Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, but new stars are always on the rise.

Lithographs

These are far more valuable than posters and many of these Nascar collectibles are very detailed and worth quite a lot of money. Look for limited edition lithographs that are personally signed by a driver if you need a collectible that is worth a lot of money. If you’re on a budget, there are mass production lithographs available that are much more economical, but their overall collectible value is somewhat less than the ones with the real autographs.

Trading Cards

These are a popular Nascar collectible with children and in many areas they are heavily traded. A lot of people like to take the card with their favorite driver on it to the track in hopes of getting it autographed. If you can’t make it to the track however, you can still find them for sale. One of the best places to look is at online auction sites, where you can get a wide variety of different cards and drivers.

Photos

These have perhaps the most emotional value for Nascar collectibles, especially if you can get a picture taken with your favorite driver. If you do, make sure to get them to autograph it for you. You can do this by contacting their team once the photo is printed and send it off for an autograph. Most drivers will be more than willing to autograph it for you. Standard issue photos are also quite popular and once again, you’ll want to get them autographed if you can.

Hats and Apparel

While these are classified as Nascar collectibles, they really fall more into the memorabilia category, but to fans, that doesn’t make them any less valuable. You can find these for sale in most department or sporting goods stores. Every once in awhile you can also find limited edition apparel with a signature of your favorite driver on it.

Figurines and Die Cast Cars

Last but not least, die cast cars and figures are also very popular Nascar collectibles. You can find these in most stores but if you buy one, it’s best to leave it in the original packaging to retain its value, especially if you plan on selling it for a profit in the future.

Sports Memorabilia -> Autographs Original -> Soccer

While the United States may not share the same love for soccer as the rest of the world, it is clear that everywhere else soccer and soccer memorabilia is big business. During the last World Cup a cumulative 4 billion people turned into the watch the matches and during that time thousands of pieces of soccer memorabilia were sold. There is big business in soccer, and the booming memorabilia business has never been hotter.

If you’re interested in taking part in this huge industry, there are a few great collectibles that are quite valuable and they are also a lot of fun. Let’s take a look at a few of the hottest soccer memorabilia items that are currently on the market.

Anything Beckham

David Beckham is incredibly popular right now, and as a result, soccer memorabilia that has been signed by him is also very popular right now. Whether it’s a jersey, signed soccer ball or even a photo, collectors can’t get enough of anything and everything Beckham. Try to find original and authentic autographs, since these will hold the most value by far.

Signed Apparel

This kind of soccer memorabilia is very valuable, especially if you can get a popular player to sign it. Shirts, shorts and hats are commonly used and many fans will go to the stadium with their items in hopes of having them autographed by the players on site. If you can’t get to the arena, you can also find these items in special stores that have been licensed to sell this apparel, and you can also find them at online auction sites.

Signed Soccer Balls

One of the most popular forms of soccer memorabilia is a soccer ball that is signed by the entire team after an important win. These are very hard to get a hold of, but if you can find one, it will be very valuable, especially if it is a team of global prominence. Keep in mind that these can be very expensive but they will typically hold on to their value quite well.

Signed Photographs

Again, if you can get this kind of photograph that is signed by a player, that is one of the best kinds of soccer memorabilia to get. They are valuable both in terms of monetary value, as well as the emotional value that comes with having your favorite player personalize something just for you. It is best to get a photograph and then try to get the autograph on your own, either through their agent or by visiting a stadium. However, you can also purchase these through autograph stores and online auctions are a goldmine for this kind of soccer memorabilia.

Whether you’re just getting into soccer, or you have been a die hard fan for many years, collecting soccer memorabilia is a great way to show your appreciation for this sport and to be able to have a very valuable collectible. In fact, you may find that it enhances your love of the game even more.
