Whatever
the sport, if you’re a fan and a collector, you’ll want to get your hands on as
much as you can. However, if you aren’t careful in your collecting, you could
just end up with a pile of junk instead of cabinet full of priceless
memorabilia.
When
collecting your memorabilia, you should probably decide on what kind of
memorabilia you want to collect to avoid just collecting any old thing. One
example is to only collect memorabilia from a particular team, player or from a
particular sport. Collecting specific items from a particular team is a popular
option as it not only looks impressive to have a cohesive set of sporting
goods, but it also adds value to your collection as you are likely to collect
prized team items in an effort to have a complete set of whatever it is you are
collecting. To asses an item’s value is pretty easy; all you have to do is
inform yourself on what items are rare and unique, thus more valuable.

Certain
athletes and sports are in higher demand, so naturally the product becomes
higher in value, and certain products will always be a safe bet, like signed
footballs and baseballs, boxing gloves,
basketballs; just make sure that it is accompanied by a Certificate of
Authenticity. If you are dedicated to a particular player or team it is likely
that certain items are going to be quite expensive because there are other
people with the same collecting ideas as you, so be prepared with a budget; if
you can’t pay for the memorabilia, then it isn’t worth a thing.
When
it comes down to it though, no matter what you collect, your collection should
say something about you and your passion. Just collecting for the sake of having
stuff is just silly, collect strategically, but only collect the items that you
really want, ones that will make a statement about your collection and passion
for the sport.
