Beginning A Collection

My collection spans are large variety of items, to include autographed mini-helmets, baseballs, bats, footballs, basketball sneakers, sports cards, and a large amount of autographed photos. Once you decide to begin a collection, it is very easy to let that collection stray in many different areas of collectibles and it will cause you some uncertainty as to where your collection is headed.

I talk from experience, as you can see I collect everything. Some items are easy to display others are just plain old un-displayable. For instance sports memorabilia cases of basketballs are just huge, and unless you live in a mansion and even then are wife-less, it just is not happening!

I have found from my own experiences that, if you like to display your collectibles and let’s be frank, everyone likes to show off their collection, even though when you sit in the dark, I know all of you sit there and rub your hands together, just to get that blood rush into your body in warp speed fashion, as you think of your newest collectible addition or any piece in your collection, that gives you that extreme joy, come on just admit it.

Mini-Helmet Displays

Anyway bear with me, I get sidetracked sometimes. I personally enjoy displaying my items. I have found that mini-helmet displays are the nicest in my opinion and easiest to handle because the item inside is not heavy. Baseball displays are also smaller and more decorative and make for nice displays and also easy to display virtually anywhere in the home.

The company that I have used in the past and would continue to use is mounted memories. They have a nice assortment of displays and also create a name plate for your item. Besides displays they also have many certified autographed items that are accompanied with a certificate of authenticity.

My very own collections mostly all items are accompanied with a certificate of authenticity, unless I obtain the autograph in person and in that case I obtain a photo with the athlete or celebrity signing the item. I hope that these tips are helpful as you obtain your very own sports memorabilia collection.
