Sports Memorabilis -> Autographs -> Golf-LPGA

LPGA photos are a hot collectible item for a variety of collectors, from golf buffs to those who admire the strides women have made in what used to be typically men’s arenas. The LPGA or Ladies Professional Golf Association was only founded in 1950 by 13 women to be the official American organization for women professional golfers. They run the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour, which is a series of weekly tournaments exclusively for professional female golfers around the world, from February to December each year.

It’s no wonder LPGA photos are becoming increasingly popular as collectibles, considering that the sports has gotten much more attention in recent years, and this year, 2008, prize money for winning golfers has been more than $58 million dollars.

Other countries have their own versions of the United States’ Ladies Professional Golf Association, but the Us LPGA is the largest and most well-known of them all. It’s the oldest female professional sporting association in the country. LPGA photos are popular collectibles just based on that distinction alone.

But to celebrate the sport of golf, LPGA photos are popular with fans, especially when the photos are autographed in person by the golfers. While not all of us are lucky enough to meet our sports heroes and idols in person, many people each year have the thrill of meeting their favorite female golfers and having photographs signed. The rest of us have to purchase signed photographs from autograph dealers in stores and online.

LPGA photos are popular items in online auctions and among online autograph dealers. Unfortunately, it’s easy to fall victim to a less than scrupulous person who might be passing off autographed photos that have never even come near the person who supposedly signed them. This is a large problem online among all autograph dealers, especially those who sell the most expensive and highly sought after autographs of celebrities and sports stars. Autographed photos and items, particularly those that were allegedly autographs by stars and legends who have died, command hundreds and thousands of dollars, or more, so it’s easy to see why some less than ethical people will try to sell unauthentic autographs.

When purchasing LPGA photos, be sure that first of all it’s an actual photo and not something printed on a laser or ink jet printer. Ask. At least you have it in writing that it’s not, should you ever need to try for a refund. Autographs are also commonly printed right into the picture. These are known as pre-prints, and while some fans still enjoy them because they’re inexpensive and more likely to contain an authentic autograph, at least know whether you’re buying a pre-print or a one-time original signature.

For those that claim the signatures are original, compare them to pre-prints for similarities, and search for the autograph in other places online. If the signature is exactly the same, you should be just as wary as if it’s wildly different because no one signs exactly the same each time.
