Sports Collectibles and Memorabilia

Comment

Ticket collecting has become even more interesting. With the accesability of information on the internet, collectors can actually research who played and what happened at the event depicted on their ticket.

With more elaborate tickets with team logos, player and celebrity photos, collectors can make decorate and themed displays.

 

Vintage tickets (like above) are coveted with the accompanying data: The 1967 game pitted the boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees. It was a great game for the season's triple crown winner Carl Yastrzemski. Mickey Mantle played for NY.

 

World Cup, Super Bowl and World Series tickets are highly desired.

While newer tickets feature holograms and watermarks, older tickets need closer examination. With some rarer specimens reaching $500-$1000, fakes are sure to follow.

1950 FIFA World Cup ticket (above), last sold for $800 at auction.

The best part for many collectors are the memories they can embrace with these keepsakes - now more vivid and interesting.

Hi Vicki !  I'll be glad to help if I can.  Hopefully, we can accomplish a few things:

1. separate genuine items from fakes or counterfiet ones.

2. identifying and catagorizing sports collectables.

3. what to look for in finding sports memorabilia.

Happy collecting :)

Hey Chuck! Happy to see we have a moderator for this group now! Great to know when I run across sports collectibles in the estate sale business - I'm pretty awful at them! :)

Its winter in North America. Ice Hockey is at center stage. This was a 1929 Churchman's cigarette card produced in England. The original photo is seen below it. Does anyone else have the original photo or art work used for a trading card ?

A rare, out of print issue - Pittsburgh Sports Hall of Fame - published in 1969. Interestingly, only a short time later the "Steel City" would be champions in both baseball (1972) and football (1974-76). Since this was printed by the locally owned printing company (and the illustrator of the book) Marty Wolfson, its run was limited.

Found this gem of a hockey pennant at my flea market. Features 23 signatures of Boston Bruins who played from the 1930's to the 1990's. Includes 10 Hall of Famers including Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito and Milt Schmidt.

 

Diane - I am open to moderating this group.

For sale is a postcard depicting a view of a baseball game in progress at the "old" Comiskey Park, home of the Chicago White Sox Baseball Team.

I will have a photo of it soon, but don't have one right now. I would like to know what a T-shirt would be worth with an autograph on the back of it that reads Kareem A-J #13. I know the signature is authentic, as I was wearing the T-shirt at the time that it was signed! I have been trying to find information out about it, but all the signatures I come across either just say Abdul Jabbar or Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I have not been able to find anything that is signed the way my T-shirt is. The T-shirt was signed in the mid-90's.

Can you help with the value of this? A trip down memory lane of Ball Parks and legend trivia from 1947.

The covers have been damages but the content

s inside are fine. Over fourteen pages of MLB ball park sketches. Above is front cover. Below is back cover.

One of 14 inside pages. I can post all if needed.

Copy write and publish dates/signatures
