How To Collect Football Memorabilia.

Football has been a very popular sport internationally for many years

. The sport has fans all over the world, young and old, male and female. In the past, football was once considered a primarily European sport until the football craze hit the US a few decades back. The football memorabilia industry is now a major player in the sports memorabilia industry which brings in millions each year.

If you are looking to start a football memorabilia collection the process is very simple. There are so many items that count as memorabilia that you can collect almost everything! You can purchase a set of football cards and start collecting these for example. Try and get different sets of cards covering teams all over the world to build up your collection. You may want to get a few issues of a football magazine to get a feel for the sport and look up more stats for the players illustrated on the cards.

It is a good idea to collect memorabilia from up and coming players as well as the more famous football stars as they could be the next big thing and make your collection worth a few quid in the future. Everyone has to start somewhere and while they wont all go on to be as big as say, David Beckham, they may just get lucky. Keep yourself up-to-date with up and coming stars and keep your eye out for players who are showing improvement and creating a buzz as these are the ones that will really boost your collection.

It may be that you are just interested in one team in particular but if you really want your collection to stand out then collect the official game shirts from the various football teams around the world. Football is well known as a sport that incites a high level of pride from both the players and the fans so collecting shirts and the flags displayed at games is a great way to show your support of the sport.

Look out for classic photos of players in their environments for example, a photo of David Beckham and Michael Own at the England National goal celebration is bound to incite interest and be worth a fair bit.

Do your homework. Get to know the respected memorabilia companies in your area and if you are buying abroad, from other countries. This will ensure that every item you purchase is guaranteed to be authentic and will stop fraudsters ripping you off.

Collecting signed match balls is a great way to add to your collection. Signed footballs are a quality piece of classic memorabilia and even more valuable if they have been used in a match situation.
