Sports Collectibles and Autographs

Recently I stumbled upon my box of old sports cards, and other memorabilia. Cards that when originally acquired were probably worth more than they are now thanks to our good friends at Ebay and their love for players who have played for 1 moth and have much glossier cards than the old fashioned Topps Rickey Henderson rookie. Forget the fact that all these players are Hall of Famers and have actually played professional sports at extremely high levels for may years, that is just not good enough. Do you want a brand new Dwayne Wade card, or do yo want an old Karl Malone Rookie? Apparently if you are spening money these days you want the Dwayne Wade. Don't ask me why.

So what can you do to make these cards, as well as any of your sports collectibles worth a bit more? There have been debates for years about whether autographs are good for cards, but that was silly. Fact of the matter is that if you have a genuine autograph on a card, or any other type of sports collectibles you are going to be better off than just having the card, or the collectible.

I've been kind of looking around at what ways you can do this lately and it is sort of difficult to get thing si already have autographed with out running out and finding a card show, or pushing over fans at a game to get an autograph.

So when I found this place called Hyped Up Sports I found it interesting. Apparently they have brokered deals with Upper Deck to allow you to get autographs on your memorabilia from exclusive athletes such as Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant. You send in your memorabilia and these guys will autograph it for you complete with all the necessary paperwork to show you it is the genuine article.

Since you can actually do this with your own memorabilia it is safe to say that the other memorabilia they have on the website is quite genuine. Can't get much better than probably the biggest names in sports in the last generation with the likes of Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, and Kobe Bryant. You will want to look at this soon because some of these guys have dates already scheduled and may not be available again for a long time.
