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.
