Who here collects sports memorabilia?

I have recently begun.. or am trying too, get into autographed memorabilia from my favorite players and teams.

A few years ago, a close friend got me a Cal Ripken Jr. signed baseball to go along with my 2131 commemorative card. Since than, I have had an interest. I just recently got an autographed Fulton Walker, which is huge for me for multiple reasons.. he is from my hometown, played for my favorite college team (WVU) and played for my favorite NFL team (Miami) where he set multiple records. So, I am pretty stoked to get this and display it.

I am also looking into a rare autographed Jerry West WVU jersey, as well as an "Eat Sh** Pitt" signed Major Harris mini helmet .


So, who all here collects memorabilia and anyone care to share pics of how you have them displayed?

Attached File


Signed by a starting goalie from every North Stars team to take the ice in Minnesota.

only thing of any value is an autographed John Elway football, through a dealer years ago (it is certified as far as that goes)
mostly just trinkets, newspapers, magazines, some sports cards. Nothing that will go up in value over the years.  

Also, an autographed Mickey Mantle baseball. It's a little league baseball, found in an abandoned storage unit.  Whoever owned it put scotch tape over the autograph to protect it. I removed the tape and half the ink came off with it (autograph is complete on tape and ball, just faded on ball)  Now the ball and the tape are stored in a display cube on a closet shelf.

My most valuable collection (to me) is all the event tickets - sports and concerts - that I've attended.

Have some pictures, but I have Tom Brady, Teddy Bruschi, Rob Gronkowski, Jeff Gordon die-cast, John Haslicek basketball, Tony Oliva picture, Johnny Unitas painting, Jim Rice baseball & Jarod Saltalamacchia baseball.  Forgive the crappy pics, but here they are.

If you find a Darius Kasparitis Jersey in your searches, the black alternate jersey, shoot me a PM.

I just got a Saquon Barkley signed PSU helmet, real helmet, not mini. Save the PSU hate please, he's an unbelievable player with a serious chance to win the Heisman this year, before being an early first round pick next year. One of the most exciting players to watch play and watching him develop has been amazing.

Also have a ball signed by LaVar Arrington, Paul Posluszny, Sean Lee, Michael Mauti, Greg Buttle, Andre Collins, Shane Conlan, and Jack Ham (who also wrote "Linebacker U" on the ball).

I need cases with quality, legit UV glass, but am having a hard time finding a true quality case that has actual UV glass. Do any of you have any tips on good cases?

Have you looked at this place?
