Unusual Finds in Autographed Sports Memorabilia and Movie Memorabilia

Collectors love autographed sports memorabilia and signed movie memorabilia. From autographed game jerseys to signed guitars and signed movie posters, celebrity autographs carry a special cachet with collectors that ordinary movie memorabilia and sports collectibles don’t have. Even so, there are some pieces of movie and sports memorabilia that are more collectible than others. Every once in a while, an especially rare or popular piece of Hollywood memorabilia or autographed sports memorabilia crops up that is met with a great deal of interest and high demand. These are a few collectibles that have lit up the market in the past few years.
Star Wars Poster
Star Wars posters are always in big demand. As one of the longest lasting and most popular movie franchises of all times, Star Wars has spawned an entire industry of Star Wars collectibles, toys and posters. Easily the most popular of all Star Wars movie posters is the Star Wars The Duel poster, featuring Luke Skywalker facing off against Darth Vader. Celebrity autographs make this particular poster even more valuable and push it up onto the most wanted list.
James Bond
In the world of movie franchises, James Bond is in a class by itself. While most of the “series” movie franchises have been the creative vision of one particular producer or director, James Bond has captured the creative vision of numerous directors, producers and stars. It is also unique in that the title character has been played by a variety of stars, and each of them has placed an indelible stamp on the character. Roger Moore, Sean Connery and others have each breathed life into the debonair 007, and each has his proponents regarding the claim to be the best Bond of all time. While all James Bond movie posters are collectible, some of the most valued pieces of Bond memorabilia are those that combine several versions of James Bond in one frame.
Autographed Sports Memorabilia
As game rooms and man caves become more and more popular, sales of autographed sports memorabilia are hitting record highs. There are a few items that always seem to make it onto every list of “ideas for a man cave” – and they nearly all have to do with sports collectibles, sports memorabilia and autographed sports memorabilia. Game jerseys are high on the list of most wanted items, with game-worn items always in the highest demand. The most popular of all game jerseys and other sports and team memorabilia are those worn by superstars in major games. Their rarity and significance gives them an added cachet.
Collecting autographed sports memorabilia and movie memorabilia is more than a fun hobby. It can add a distinctive touch to your home décor and, if you choose carefully, make you a little extra cash if and when you decide to sell your collection.
