Sometimes you may see it claimed that autographed memorabilia is one of the biggest wastes of money out there, but is this true? A man named Chris Pummer once equated autographed memorabilia to premium coffee as well as cigarettes as the biggest possible wastes of money, but is this true about autographed memorabilia, especially when it comes to autographed sports memorabilia?

The truth is, the only time autographed memorabilia is NOT worth the investment is when you buy the wrong thing, or buy something that is fake. Investing in fake autographed memorabilia is obviously a waste of money. If you are investing in real autographed memorabilia, however, then there is no reason why you wouldn’t be making a sound investment, especially if you are investing in something that is going to go up in value over time. For example, some players have such a great demand for their signed sports memorabilia, that no matter how often they autograph things, the value of these items is going to go up. Take Pete Rose for example, who visits Las Vegas and autographs sports memorabilia on a consistent basis. When he finally becomes unable to sign, or if he should happen to pass away, then any authentic autographed memorabilia of his is going to double or triple in its value nearly instantly.

Shopping for sports autographed memorabilia is really about choosing the right player. Barry Bonds is not the right player. Willie Mays may be the right player. Doing your research is absolutely vitally important. Willie Mays is the greatest baseball player on the planet, and no one is more collectible than he is. If you are serious about collectible autographed memorabilia, then you absolutely need to be willing to shop around and get a feel for what types of autographed memorabilia are out there, what they’re worth, and perhaps most importantly, how they are going to change in value with time.

You need to be willing to educate yourself on all aspects of authentic autographed memorabilia. You need to find players that are good enough for you to invest in soundly. You also need to study the values of items that are based on not only what they are currently going for but also what they could go for in the future. If you do these three things then you will have a much better chance of seeing excellent returns in your future, perhaps even bigger returns than what a stock market portfolio could potentially afford you. Why should you waste your time investing in stocks, where the risk is high and the returns are incapable of being calculated, when you can spend your time collecting valuable sports player autographed memorabilia, something that you enjoy doing that could potentially earn you some serious money?

There are many actors, actresses, movie scenes and other film moments that are memorable and popular years after they initially came into the limelight. As a result, many people collect film memorabilia as a way to relive their favorite movie moments, or to commemorate their favorite movie heroes. Although the collection of film memorabilia is not the most popular type of hobby out there, it brings great joy to many people and may bring great enjoyment to you as well.

There are many actors and actresses out there that have developed a significant following over the years. Look at Audrey Hepburn for example. She has a lot of film memorabilia that is well sought after, because people are always looking for things that they can keep and treasure that commemorate her film work and other things that we did with her life. Her image has become a pop culture icon, in fact. Many people continue to try to emulate her style and class even to this day. It should only make sense, then, why so many people are keen on Audrey Hepburn film memorabilia.

It is not enough to simply collect whatever film memorabilia you can get your hands on. What you should be doing is specifically collecting film memorabilia that relates to actors, actresses, movies, special moments in movies or other things that you are passionate about or otherwise care about. If you are collecting film memorabilia purely for resale value, then it may not matter what you buy and collect, but if you care about your collection, you need to only purchase the film memorabilia items that can mean something for you.

We used Audrey Hepburn as an example for film memorabilia, but if you are not passionate about her, or her style, or her movies, then obviously you would not have any special benefit from collecting her film memorabilia. On the other hand, if you are passionate about who she is and what she is all about, then you would benefit from having a collection of Audrey Hepburn film memorabilia. It really is this simple.

If you are looking for a new type of collection and you are passionate about a specific actor or actress, or if you have a favorite movie that you cannot get enough of, then film memorabilia might be a fun collection. For example, some people obsess about popular cult classic movies like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, and as a result, they collect film memorabilia that relates to these movies. This is a great way to bring a part of the film home with you, and it is also a great way to invest in something that is only going to rise in value over time. Just make sure that you research the value of each piece of film memorabilia to make sure that you do not spend a lot of money on something that is not worthwhile.

Right now, collecting rare memorabilia is on the rise, and this particular practice gains even more attention when it comes to collecting rare memorabilia that once belonged to a great singer, actor or actress or some other famous individual that has recently or even not so recently passed away. Why this is so important is because when somebody who is famous passes away, it makes the already rare memorabilia surrounding that person even rarer, since items are now harder to come by and can no longer be produced.

There are a number of different pieces of rare memorabilia that you can collect, such as autographed photographs, autographed pieces of memorabilia, apparel, signed CDs and discs, posters, props and instruments from the stage of a show, signed set lists, props from television shows and movies and so on and so forth. There are really an endless variety of different pieces of rare memorabilia out there – What makes them so rare is whether or not it is easy to find more.

Once a celebrity has passed away, the memorabilia that is signed by them becomes much rarer because no more autographs can be obtained. This is something that you are going to want to consider if you are collecting rare memorabilia. As pieces becoming increasingly rare, they are going to be more expensive and harder to find. If you can get your hands on them as they become rarer, then you will be the one profiting from their worth, rather than being the one struggling to find the pieces of rare memorabilia that you are looking for.

There are a lot of websites on the internet that are offering authentic collections of rare memorabilia pieces from different famous people all throughout the world and the media. It is important when shopping for rare memorabilia that you are cautious of scammers and people that are trying to take your hard earned money. Make sure that any rare memorabilia that you buy is authentic by any possible means before you make the purchase so that you can protect yourself from possibly being ripped off.

There is a large online market for rare memorabilia, just make sure that you are buying legitimate rare memorabilia rather than knock-offs. When you find collectible rare memorabilia online, you should be dealing with authentic dealers that you can trust, or websites where you are protected such as eBay, where if you are ripped off you can get your money back through insurance. It is really important that you protect yourself, because buying a piece of rare memorabilia can be really rewarding, but getting ripped off is anything but.

Collecting old streets signs is a hobby for many people. If you choose to deal in old street signs, there are some collection tips and tricks that you’ll want to follow.

Avoid collecting modern/current street signs. Collecting them is a crime, as is selling them, so stay away from teens offering you the latest I-15 highway sign. Chances are they’re vandals trying to profit from their misdeeds.

It may be a good idea to decide on a group of old street signs you’ll be working with. For example, you may want to collect a certain type of signs.

Maybe you want directional arrows or signs with directional arrows included on them. You may want to collect regulatory signs, which are always popular with collectors. Stop signs, yield signs, merge and other regulatory signs are popular among many collectors.

You may also want to collect signs based on time period. Some signs are uniquely individual to a particular time period, and collectors may focus on those from the 40s or the 70s or 60s.

You could also collect street signs from a particular place or area of the country. If you become a collector or a dealer and specialize in a certain type of sign, you can build up a reputation and a returning clientele or build up a stunning collection that becomes a standard for the genre.

If you are planning to keep and display your collection, then consider where the signs will be displayed. Interior walls require you to use extra care, as they may need reinforcement to hold heavy metal signs.

Garages are a popular place to display old street signs. Be sure there is an area that is away from tools or cars so that the signs won’t be damaged by a stray rake or the back fender.

Cleaning or not cleaning old street signs is another decision you’ll make as a collector or dealer. Some collectors like their signs to look bright and new, while others want a little dirt or grease as a way to preserve the nostalgia.

If you decide that cleaning is the way you want to go, then be sure to use a soft cloth, very gentle cleanser, and a hose with low pressure.

Develop a relationship with all the departments of transportation and the traffic control authorities in the area. They generally have the responsibility for all road signs, and may have retained some old street signs as they replaced them.  It’s possible that they are not aware of the value of such signs, and may sell them to you for a low price.

Other places to search are antique shops and flea markets. Sellers at the flea markets who specialize in old street signs will likely charge more for their items, since they are aware that they have a good selection of what collectors want.

However, if that’s how to get old street signs that complete the collection or will make you buyers happy, then it may be the ideal way to expand or begin a collection.

Perhaps you have found the perfect piece of sports memorabilia, signed by your favorite sports star, and you are just about to make the purchase. Perhaps the price is perfect, and you are ready to make the exchange. Hold on! Any collectible sports memorabilia needs to be coming equipped with a certificate of authenticity from an appraiser that is reputable. When you buy and sell memorabilia, you will quickly come to realize just how vitally important that memorabilia appraisal can be.

Having an appraiser check the item out in person before you make the purchase is a good option, especially if there is a high price tag associated with the item. You should generally be purchasing the item from a reputable antique dealer or sports dealer rather than some random person at a garage sale if you cannot get your hands on a solid, trustworthy and reputable sports memorabilia appraisal in time for the sale.

How are items appraised?

There are basically five different categories that can be used in order to determine what value to place on an item when you have a professional appraise it. Here are the five categories:

1 – Artistry is the first category. There is not always going to be artistry when it comes to sports memorabilia appraisal, but the item should still hold value in terms of how it was made. The stitching on a baseball should be completely uniform, the wooden golf clubs should all be straight and should not have large gouges in them, items that are autographed should be clean and neat with clear and concise writing, and so on and so forth.

2 – The workmanship of the item is the second category. Is the item a good representation in comparison to items that have similar values? The workmanship in items that are hand carved, hand tooled or otherwise hand made should be completely well made as well as created in order to last through numerous generations. Sometimes the artisan that is responsible for hand making the item will add additional value to that specific item just based on who they are.

3 – The age of an item also matters. The item’s age can definitely play a role in determining its value as well as whether or not it is real or fake. Make sure that an item shows the proper age based on what it is if you want your memorabilia appraisal to be accurate.

4 – Fourth is the condition of an item, another thing that plays a large role in your memorabilia appraisal since used items will determine their value in comparison to new ones. Banged up pieces are not going to be worth as much as newer pieces unless they were banged up by a sports great.

5 – The subject matter is the fifth and final category of criteria for your memorabilia appraisal.

People who collect signed sports memorabilia are constantly working to come up with more creative and innovative ways that will allow them to showcase their sports memorabilia collections. The fame associated with collecting sports memorabilia is growing at a high speed on a continuous basis. For example, some collectors prefer easy access when it comes to their sports memorabilia collections, and as a result, they are simply satisfied with the concept of supporting their things in a specific corner or area of the home. Collectors who really enjoy the game know that these items are worth collecting and also worth keeping safe.

Most signed sports memorabilia collectors understand the importance of having a good display, regardless of whether their collection is a casual sports memorabilia collection or a serious one. As a result of this fact, there are a wide variety of different sports memorabilia display options that can be found through retailers all over the world.

Single signed sports memorabilia items, such as an autographed baseball or football for example, can be stored in simple glass or plexiglass cases. On the other hand, if you have a number of different items such as an autographed jersey, baseball cards, ticket stubs and other unique items, you may want to try something a little more inspired such as a fully customized and framed shadowbox. These types of sports memorabilia displays are not only great for a serious collector, but they also make great gifts for people who are into sports memorabilia.

Display cases are important for signed sports memorabilia items, because keeping them in pristine condition is vital in order to protect their integrity and their worth. Not only are display cases designed to keep your sports memorabilia items safe, however, they should also be visually appealing, and should not detract from the quality of the item. While preserving your sports memorabilia items is absolutely vital, putting them away in boxes where they never see the light of day is simply cruel. Instead, if you are a sports memorabilia collector, you should be finding ways to put your unique items on display where they can be seen and enjoyed on a daily basis by you and other sports fans who visit your domicile.

There are also official signed sports memorabilia display cases, designed specifically to house certain items that are regularly used as sports memorabilia. For example, finding a unique display for a signed baseball is relatively easy, because signed baseballs are common items in the sports memorabilia arena, so you can easily find the right container for your special ball without any creativity or difficulty on your part.

Not only do signed sports memorabilia display cases protect your sports memorabilia, but they also add value because your most important items will be kept safe and sound where dust, dirt and other damage cannot bother them. People who collect sports memorabilia will definitely benefit from using the right display cases if they want their collections to last a good long time.

There are an endless variety of different types of collections and memorabilia out there, and one of the options that are available to you is to collect World’s Fair memorabilia. For several decades now, both children and adults have brought home a multitude of different souvenirs and mementos following their trips to the World’s Fair. Ever since 1851, this special event has produced a constantly evolving assorting of World’s Fair memorabilia ranging from penny trinkets that are massively produced, to treasures that are truly one of a kind.

Whether you are a novice or if you are a long-time collector of World’s Fair memorabilia, there is a unique opportunity provided to you on the internet which is to purchase your World’s Fair memorabilia through the eBay marketplace. In the more than 150 years of history of the World’s Fair, many excellent pieces of memorabilia have come to be that can show up on eBay any day.

From the first event, which was held in 1851 in London, the World’s Fair events and their sponsors introduced a myriad of different inventions, cultures and ideas to the entire world. One of the primary concepts of focus for the World’s Fair was to create a truly lasting memory for everyone that came to visit the fair. In order to make this truly possible, they would offer the visitors to the fair a number of different mementos and souvenirs.

These pieces of World’s Fair memorabilia and souvenirs tell an amazing story about the history of the world. By collecting pieces of World’s Fair memorabilia, you can take advantage of a window into history. Some of the options for collecting World’s Fair memorabilia include children’s toys and other baubles and souvenirs that you can bring home and make use of to remind you of the history of the fair. Many of the pieces of World’s Fair memorabilia that you can collect are designed based on the county that is hosting the World’s Fair, including:

• The World’s Fair was hosted in London in 1851 and 1862. It was hosted in Paris in 1855, 1867, 1878, 1889, 1900, and 1937. The World Fair was hosted in Vienna in 1873.
• The World’s Fair was hosted in the United States in 1876 (Philadelphia), 1893 (Chicago), 1904 (St. Louis), 1915 (San Francisco), 1933 (Chicago), 1939 and 1940 (New York), 1962 (Seattle), and 1982 (Knoxville).
• The World’s Fair was hosted in 1880 in Melbourne, 1897 in Brussels and 1905 in Liege. It was hosted in 1906 in Milan, 1910 in Brussels and 1913 in Ghent. In 1967, the World’s Fair was hosted in Montréal, in Canada. In 1970 it moved to Osaka. In 1986 it returned to Canada, this time in Vancouver. More recently, it was hosted in Seville in 1992, Lisbon in 1998, Hanover in 2000 and Nagoya in 2005.

Memorabilia -> Movie Memorabilia -> Lobby Cards

Most devoted film buffs and film memorabilia collectors have at least a small collection of lobby cards. These cards are released when a movie is released and serve as promotion must like film posters do. Most major releases also have a set of lobby cards released with it. In the UK, lobby cards are commonly called “Front of House” cards.

Lobby cards and film posters are designed to advertise and promote a newly released film. It’s not unusual for films to have several different film posters used in the advertising campaign, and these become valuable to collectors who love that particular film or collect cinema items in general. The posters are the ones you see inside and outside the theaters to advertise that the movie is coming soon or even playing currently inside. These images are used in the pressbooks, websites advertising the film, the DVD package, flyers and ads in newspapers, magazines and even books.

The difference between an official film poster and a poster put out by a third party is easy to spot. The film posters typically don’t just bear the main images and name of the film, but text at the bottom with some information like top-billed cast, the director, and sometimes the release date of the film. Lobby cards are considered tiny film posters. They’re usually released in sets of 8, with each card bearing a different scene from the movie. On occasion, the sets of lobby cards held 12 cards, or 6, but the typical number is 8. And releases from production companies who are having a difficult financial time sometimes came with no lobby card set at all. The 1986 film Manhunter by Michael Mann had no set of lobby cards produced in the United States, a great irony considering the film’s legacy. It was the forerunner of Silence of the Lambs, which won Oscars for both Anthony Hopkins and Jodi Foster and created one of the most memorable villains in cinematic history, Hannibal the Cannibal.

The value of lobby cards depends a great deal on the age of the cards and the film depicted, as well as their condition. While some older lobby cards carry a high price, so do some newer lobby cards that might have not been created in huge numbers. Often, lobby cards aren’t produced in great numbers and then the film will exceed the studio’s expectations, making it much more popular than they expected and creating a demand from film buffs and collectors for merchandise like the original film posters and lobby cards.

By the far the best way to buy lobby cards is in complete sets, though sometimes this can be difficult, especially in the case of very old films. Some old movies see their lobby cards sold individually for hundreds of dollars each. If you’re looking for lobby cards through online dealers and eBay, read the auctions carefully. Reprints are a big business for those who want the look of the classic lobby cards without caring whether or not they’re original.

One of the ways that you can identify collectible pins as collectible Disney memorabilia is to look at the pin back. Depending on what era the pin is from, you are going to find that the pin backs can tell you a lot about this unique type of Disney memorabilia.

- * Rubber Black Mickey Shape Pin Back – This is the most common pin back that is used by the Disney company for Disney memorabilia.

- * Metal Squeezing Clasp Pin Back – These Disney memorabilia pin backs were used for a number of the pins that were sold prior to the year 2000. They are available in silver color and gold color and they have been used relatively indiscriminately by Disney. Some double posted pins have come with one pin featuring a different colored pin back right out of the package.

- * Shaped Rubber Backs – Over quite a long time, Disney made use of golden colored rubber backs that were round in shape. In the more decent days, these pin backs have come in a wide variety of additional shapes and colors as well. Disney offers Disney memorabilia catalog pins that use a back that is small and shaped like a diamond. Disney actually also markets replacement pin backs that come in a wide variety of different styles and shapes as well. Depending on the park and the time period, there are also brown backs and yellow backs as well.

- * Tie-Tack Backs - These Disney memorabilia pin backs were used for a short period of time around the 1990s. During this period of time Disney experimented using the same clasps that they were using on tie tacks. These pin backs were certainly effective but they also happened to be bulky and heavy.

- * Screw-On Locking Backs - On a few of the Disney memorabilia pins, including the stick pins originating from the 1970s, the Disney company experimented with these screw on backs that were quite effective but also expensive.

- * Standard Pin Clasps - These Disney memorabilia pin backs come on pins that hail from the early part of the 1990s and before then. They are more like the traditional pin back for a brooch, utilizing a clasp that holds the pin in place. They are secure, but they are often too difficult to put on and then take off again.

The main thing that you need to remember when it comes to Disney memorabilia and pin backs is this: Unless the pin happens to be very rare, the pin back you have is not going to be nearly as important. There are a few pin purists that will argue this particular point, but in the grand scheme of things, it is the pin front that matters rather than the pin back.

Memorabilia -> Autographs: Original -> Movies-> Scripts

If you love movies, one of the best collectible items you can find is an original autographed movie script. These are very rare in many cases, but when you do find one for your favorite movie there is always cause for celebration. This is a unique kind of collectible and there is a huge market for this type of movie memorabilia. If you are interested in purchasing movie scripts for your own collection, here are a few things you should know.

1. Has the script been authenticated?

Today, many movie scripts are available on the internet, and it doesn’t take much to find them and print them out. This has led to numerous problems with fraud, but if you are careful, you can avoid this. Ask the seller to provide you with a certificate of authenticity or a receipt that shows their original purchase. If they will not provide you with any form of proof as to whether or not the script is authentic, it’s best to find another seller.

2. How many cast members signed the script?

It’s a common practice to have numerous members of a cast sign the final script and this is usually done at the wrap party or at events after the filming has been completed. The more cast members that sign the movie script, the more likely it is to be valuable. This is particularly true if the script is quite old and most of the stars in it were very famous. While there is a niche market for small and unknown movie scripts, it is best to go with one that has several well known star’s autographs if you are looking for a valuable collectibles.

3. What is the overall condition of the script?

Don’t be surprised if the script is a little worn, especially if it is older. Paper does discolor slightly and there may be a few rips on the sheets of paper. This shouldn’t be a deal breaker unless the script is in very bad condition. If this is the case, you may be able to get a discount however, but generally, the script will not be worth as much if it does have a lot of damage.

4. What type of script is it?

Shooting scripts and director scripts are typically worth more than the first draft of a movie script, unless the author is very well known. Look for scripts that contain shooting notes for an interesting collectible. If you do come across a first edition script from a well known screenwriter, you’ll still be getting a very good value for your money.

Movie scripts are a unique collectible and many like to see how many they can collect. Whether you are seeking movie scripts from specific favorite movies, or you are trying to collect all of the scripts associated with an actor or director, by following the tips above, you can be assured that you will be getting an authentic script that is well worth the investment.
