There are a number of different forms that sports memorabilia items can take, including both modern memorabilia and vintage memorabilia. Some of the sports memorabilia items that you can purchase and add to your collection include:
- Autographed sports memorabilia items, including balls, gloves, bats, cards and anything else that is capable of being signed. Here you should be watching out for clean surfaces, signatures that are clear and legible and certificates of authenticity.
- Sports cards, which should feature sharp corners, smooth surfaces and good image quality. Autographed sports cards are certainly worth more, and the most valuable are rookie cards for athletes that later go on to become stars.
- Equipment from games such as balls, bats, jerseys, rackets, shoes and other sporting equipment that was actually used during a game by a star athlete can go on to be extremely valuable.
- Team jerseys and other apparel memorabilia is another good option for collecting sports memorabilia items, but you should be looking for signs of wear such as authentic wear and tear, sweat stains and other proof that the apparel was used in the sport.
- Stadium items also make good sports memorabilia items, including seats and turnstiles, plain signs, neon signs, benches and any other items that come from stadiums as they can be very rare and extremely valuable, especially in situations where they are historically significant or vintage. If the stadium is no longer standing, then these particular sports memorabilia items can be even more valuable because they are irreplaceable piece of sporting history.
- Ticket Stubs and Programs are also great sports memorabilia items. You should be looking for programs and ticket stubs and other paper items that come from important or historically valuable tournaments, games and other events such as Super Bowl events, World Series events or US Open events for example, as these will be the most valuable.
- Bobbleheads are more modern, but they are still great sports memorabilia items. These are plastic dolls that have oversized heads affixed to a spring. If you have a full set of Bobblehead dolls, they may be really valuable. There are also ceramic items that are worth even more when they are in excellent condition.
- Pins are sports memorabilia items that are often offered for all sports and you can find them online or through sporting goods collectors. There are both modern and vintage pins that you can buy. Full series or full sets of pins can be worth a lot to the right collector.
- Boxing Items are harder to find in comparison to most other sports memorabilia items, so if you are interested in a valuable type of sporting memorabilia, consider collecting memorabilia and collectibles from boxing tournaments and the boxing sport.
