About me

A Sports Autograph Auction is one way that collectors enlarge their collections of autographs and photographs. They are able to bid on items that they wish to have as their own, in addition to finding customers for materials in their own collections that they wish to sell. Often people become a collector for the investment possibilities that it holds. While other times it is the sheer love of a certain sport or creative art form like animation that holds their personal attention.

When looking to buy an item from a sport memorabilia auction, it is best to make sure each piece is authentic. Unfortunately too many buyers have found themselves with copied signatures and baseballs that are not the absolute originals they claimed to be. Not only is this fraudulent, but reputable Sports Memorabilia Auction houses will never operate in this manner.

When bidding on an item, ask for a certificate of authentication. This document gives the exact date that a baseball bat or other item was actually signed. If there is a history behind the item, that will be made available for future buyers. This is a good habit to get into when searching for celebrity autographs, film props and costumes. Much like sporting goods that are supposedly signed by the athlete themselves, these materials can be easily imitated and recreated.

Sometimes it is the very things that we threw away, that hold so much value in today's world of auctions. A good example of this are comic books that were produced within the past several decades. While most kids had these inexpensive pieces of amusement, the majority of them were tossed out in later years. For that comic book that was saved for sentimental value, rarely were they kept in what is known as in collector's terms as �mint condition.�

Art work and toys originally produced for the juvenile market is one place where collectors can find the most interest. Original toys created for the Disney company is known as �Disneyana.� Such finds as original Mickey Mouse toys from the 1930's are something that bring higher than average prices at auctions all over the world. In this vein, animation cells from classic Disney movies also draw enthusiastic crowds in galleries and bids from eager cartoon lovers.
