I have been a collector for many years of mainly sports memorabilia (game used jersey cards, autographed cards, and limited edition cards). I have always loved sports, I love to find acceptable deals, and frequently do. I will share some of the secrets with you here on how to find inexpensive memorabilia right away! First, look at auctions.
Take ebay for example. Some card sellers sale jersey, autographs, etc., don’t always know what they are doing when listing their cards and memorabilia. When I say memorabilia, I am talking about limited edition cards (1/1 cards; the only one made or very rare cards with full COA from major card companies).
The hardest time to get your sports memorabilia is on key dates and times. I am talking about 5pm to 7pm, especially on a Sunday or Tuesday. This is by cause of people are off work browsing and selling. The best time to find sports memorabilia is on “key days and times.” This is early in the morning, and on days excluding Sunday and Tuesday. Don’t avoid these days, but you have a higher bidding population
The Secret: Select “newly listed” early in the a.m. or late p.m. This way you have it made have been the only person to first see new auction.
You could be surprised how many people put memorabilia cards on at midnight or 2am! Next if it has a Best Offer, take advantage of this. On a “best offer” you could be surprised on what can do be accepted, so give it a try (make it reasonable). Next use a general search. So if you are looking for a Mickey Mantle jersey card, just type in “Mantle”. This will give you the broadest search results.
Finally take advantage of collectors fresh only collect a certain player. This is by cause of many times they have purchased a box or packs of cards looking for their player. Then they sell off the fresh players because they are only after a certain player. Many collectors like this, don’t realize, know, or fail to find out the value of the cards they list. Many times they will put a fresh sports memorabilia (jersey/autograph) card on for a very low price to sell off cards they received and don’t want. I find almost daily, cards & sports memorabilia more are way below book value/sports guide value. You have to be quick which is why I say start with “newly listed”.
Use a reputable sports price guide so you have an idea what the card is worth. However, on limited cards like 1/1 or less than 10 produced, generally will not have a price due to the “scarcity” of the card. For example, I picked up an Alex Rodriguez triple jersey card, limited numbered for $30.00. The card books for over $200.00 dollars! I picked it up early morning (around 7am) on a Friday.

The Memorabilia $1.79 pubOne.info present you this new edition. I I have often wondered by what arguments those who indicted (1) Socrates could have persuaded the Athenians that his life was justly forfeit to the state. The indictment was to this effect: "Socrates is guilty of crime in refusing to recognise the gods acknowledged by the state, and importing strange divinities of his own; he is further guilty of corrupting the young. |
