With the sports memorabilia market growing every day there are more and more items becoming available. Although most people think of signed football shirts first when this subject is raised there are varied types of signed products being listed.
So what is out there and what would make a stunning collection or gift?
The obvious choice is the signed football shirt! With the huge number of world class footballers currently being shown on our televisions everyday fans are clambering to get there hands on a shirt signed by there current hero. These can be signed on the back of the shirt either on or close to the players name and number or on the front of the shirt. The front of the shirt is a favourite when signed by a full squad. The most popular presently for the squad signed appear to be Manchester United, Liverpool and FC Barcelona whilst Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi seem to be the collectors favourites when it comes to single signed shirts. There are various ways to display a signed shirt, but the most popular ones are to frame them or show them off in a display case.
The signed football is a very innovative piece of memorabilia and like the shirt it can be squad signed, single signed and also displayed in a case. Most companies use replica balls when gaining the signatures, but if you want to spend that little bit extra it is possible to find companies that sell signed match quality balls.
If you have a smaller budget then a signed football photograph is possibly the way to go. It may be substantially less expensive than the signed shirts and balls, but it is every bit as stunning. These can be mounted or framed and can also be displayed along with other items like match day programmes or match tickets to make a unique presentation. For instance a mounted Steven Gerrard 10”x8” signed photograph is likely to cost you around £40-50 while a framed version should set you back in the region of £80-90.
Golf may not be the most popular sport when it comes to signed memorabilia, but there are more items becoming available all the time. As with football, signed photographs are available and it is possible to get the likes of Padraig Harrington, Ernie Els, Geoff Ogilvy, Sergio Garcia, Paul Casey and Ian Poulter if you search hard enough. A new and very innovative item is the signed golf cap. Framed along with a photograph of the player who has signed the cap makes a great item for a personal collection or a gift for a friend or loved one.
Similar to football you can get your hands on signed shirts (single or squad signed), signed balls and signed photographs when it comes to Rugby memorabilia. Look out for squad signed shirts especially if signed by New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, France and England. Also very popular are signed items from England's 2003 World Cup triumph.
