• Memorabilia Collectors?

    Posted by tallica1981 on August 17, 2026 at 4:53 pm

    Anyone collect sports memorabilia, and not just cards? If so, what is your favorite thing to collect? Jerseys, helmets, photos, etc. Drop some of your favorite memorabilia pieces in the comments so we can all appreciate some cool items. I will add some when I can take some photos at home.

    I don’t have much memorabilia but do like these autographed baseballs that I got as a part of a fundraiser the Braves have for a children’s hosptial each year. I got really lucky with the ones I randomly received the first three years. I haven’t looked at them in a while and see the ink from the Max Fried year was better than the next two years. In order it’s Fried, Chris Sale, and Michael Harris II. I was especially happy to get the Sale one in the year he won the Cy Young.

    Oh! And I forgot I have a game-used ball from a Braves-Phillies game. I was trying to get one Strider pitched but the rotation got off from my calculations and it was Charlie Morton pitching. A foul ball Brandon Marsh hit. Now where did I put that??

    I look forward to seeing what you share.

      Those are sweet, man! I’ve been picking up some Maddux stuff here and there. I think he’s super undervalued in the market. 90s is starting to move and pitchers are getting a little more love these days. I think he’s going to creep up.

    Thanks mostly to my father, I have acquired a rather large collection of memorabilia. We’re talking dozens of signed helmets. Maybe 100 plus signed jerseys. Some nicely framed jerseys. Many baseballs, footballs, basketballs, boxing gloves, celebrity autos, etc. it’s all a bit overwhelming, and I don’t currently have the room to display 90% of it. We were big bears, bulls, white Sox and boxing fans. Multiple items by pretty much any Chicago bear you could want. Tons of bulls and guys like Shaq, Larry, magic, and countless others. Everything is authenticated by a reputable source (PSA, JSA, Beckett, Tri-Star). It’s basically my inheritance. Dad is still around, but he just gave it all to me to hold. Here are a few pics

    HOLY COW! You have a MUSEUM QUALITY collection!! Amazing things! GOATS in different sports!! I’m stunned that one person collected all of this. 🤯 It’s an amazing collection—and for once this is not hyperbole!

    Thanks so much for sharing!

    Wow, just wow!!

    I have cut back on non cards collecting but I do have a few baseballs(Griffey Jr, Pete Rose and Jay Bruce) and that plaque is signed by Roger Christian (Creator of the original lightsabers) and I got this Sunday at the Sal Stewart event night for my dad

      Nice stuff, man. Out of curiosity, have you done the Disney “create your own lightsaber” experience?

        I haven’t. The experience looks genuinely like a Star Wars fan’s dream but I’m not really a fan of Disney’s lightsabers. They kind of went function over form. To make the blades easily interchangeable they had to make them a little fatter, so they don’t look very screen accurate. There are companies that make more advanced ones that are smaller and can do more complex blade effects.
