Collecting Authentic Sports Autographs

What originally started for most of us as collecting baseball cards, collecting sports autographs in the form of autographed and game-used insert cards has become hugely popular.

Additionally, signed photos, equipment, and jerseys have become widely popular to collectors.

You can easily find athlete memorabilia for sale online, in retail sports memorabilia stores such as Field of Dreams and along with sporting good stores such as Dicks Sporting Goods, along with some baseball card shops.

Autographed sports memorabilia has become big business in recent years. Unfortunately, there are a lot of fake autographs on the market as a result of this. Players have also become reluctant to autograph sports memorabilia at the ballpark.

One positive aspect of the growth and interest in autographed sports memorabilia is the more frequent sports autographs signings that occur these days. Along with my page that I routinely update, Signings Hotline is a great resource you can use to locate signings in your area. They list information for free that you can search by athlete or celebrity, as well as by location. I use this website all the time to stay informed on who is signing where.

It is possible to still collect authentic sports autographs through the mail also. Current players are going to be harder to get, especially during the regular season and the demands of their schedules.



I usually will send items during the off-season to a home address if I can find one. Otherwise I'll send it to the team and hope that my letter is one of the first ones in the stack when the player shows up for a new season!
