When I first set out on my journey to build the best sport memorabilia collection around i had some grandiose ideas and no clue how to execute. All I knew was that I wanted a large collection consisting of every type of sport memorabilia ever made so I could show it off to all of my friends. Over the years I have learned a lot and realized that this was not the right way to go. I strongly recommend picking one or two items to build your collection around and stick to that for a few years. Then you can start adding in new types of memorabilia to compliment your collection. So what are the best types of game-used memorabilia to start building your collection with? Read on.
The first is an autographed baseball. A nice collection of autographed baseballs tops the list for a few reasons. First, they just look good. When you buy them through a sport memorabilia vendor they come encased in a nice protective case displaying the player's name proudly. To have a handful of them lining your shelves is aesthetically nothing short of impressive. The other reason I believe collecting autographed baseballs is the best item you can collect is because they are, for the most part, affordable. Depending on the baseball players you choose you can most definitely build up a nice display of autographed baseballs without draining your bank account.
Once you have some autographed baseballs to your name it is then a good idea to start expanding your collection a little bit and my advice is to branch out by buying a game-worn jersey. Start off with one as they can be a little pricey. Try it on once as it will be one of the coolest feelings you will ever have; your spine will tingle. Then have it professionally framed and hang it on your wall near the autographed baseballs. It will look incredible. Then, as your budget allows, start adding game-used jerseys to the collection.
When starting a game-used memorabilia collection you will be overwhelmed by options. I hope this helps you narrow your focus. It is okay to start small and grow your collection steadily. Perhaps buy one game-worn jersey and one autographed baseball every other month for a few months and then gauge your happiness with the collection. From there you will be able to tell if you would like to concentrate more on one item or the other, or perhaps another item that I did not mention here. Either way, as long as you are consistently growing your collection you will be proud of it.
