From the world of eBay
eBay is a wonderful place to do some shopping, especially for sports memorabilia. I look there often for several different purposes. There are hundreds of baseballs, bats and jerseys on there, all signed, and quite honestly, I would recommend going to eBay for jerseys before ever buying one in the stores, especially if it's a specialty jersey.
I went perusing and found some stuff I thought was pretty cool. I left out the typical signed baseballs, signed footballs, and jerseys, and just went for some stuff that was a little more unique on some way, shape or form.
Cool, but still in no way affordable for an average fan
Here we have statues of five great players in their sports. Kareem Adbul-Jabbar from the NBA, Wayne Gretzky from the NHL, Joe Montana from the NFL and Ted Williams and Stan Musial from MLB. These pewter statues look amazing from the photos and would be awesome to have on a mantle. However, with a Buy It Now price of $3,600, more than most guys could justify to their wives to buy a few statues.
Next, we have a flag from the 2000 Master's at Augusta. It's signed by an astonishing number of players and would be a sweet piece to have framed and up on a wall. Again though, the Buy It Now is around four grand. Opening bid: $3,299. Happy bidding.
For $2,500, you, yes you, could own this beautiful signed robe from Muhammed Ali. It never claims in the listing that this was worn by Ali, otherwise I could see $2,500 being a bargain. However, it's still a cool piece, and it comes with a CoA and a photo of him actually signing the robe, so this is one piece that you can actually feel safe that it's completely authentic!
A six-foot replica Dale Jr. car! I have no interest in NASCAR, but if I had a memorabilia room with a replica car in the middle of it, I'd have to say it's already a pretty sweet memorabilia room. Reserve is not met, and I can't imagine a 6 foot replica car is going to be anywhere near cheap, but who knows, I could be wrong, current bid is at $95 only.
Affordable, and kinda weird:
Anything that involves Bob Uecker is automatically cool. But this picture is borderline weird. First off, what the hell is that thing he's leaning on? It appears to be an oddly proportioned, very large baseball bat on some sort of wooden pedestal. But why is there an oddly proportioned 10 foot baseball bat on a pedestal somewhere? And why is Bob Uecker wearing a Cosby sweater and having a picture of himself taken next to this bat?
Alright, "kinda weird" doesn't cut it for this one, but I didn't want to make yet another listing. Here, we have some bizarre looking candle with some miniature Marlins stuff pressed onto it to make it sports themed. I don't know of anyone who would pay $7 for an ugly candle with ugly Marlins stuff pressed onto it, but if you're such a person, leave me a comment, I'd like to know what makes you tick.
Pretty cool, and actually affordable:
A hammer autographed by The Hammer? That's what this would be. I have to be honest and say I have absolutely no idea who Dave Schulz is, but if this seller is accurate in that his nickname is The Hammer, then it's a pretty sweet idea to actually take a hammer to get signed by him. This one ends in about 15 minutes from as I'm typing this, so no real chance for anyone who would read this to bid, most likely, but right now it's going for $25.
$250 may not be as afforable as the hammer, but this is a sweet item. A 1954 Cardinals scorecard(apparently, on a day they played the Dodgers) signed by 18 players including Pee Wee Reese and (insert fanfare here) Jackie Robinson!.
From the "what is this guy thinking?" category:
A picture of Chamberlain, West and Frazier playing, all in the same picture. It'd probably be a cool piece to have, and this guy claims there's a family medical emergency that is the cause of the sale. The thing that amuses me is not that the guy is asking for a cool million on the "Buy It Now" but take a look at the shipping cost. This guy better have Jerry West personally handing me the picture for that price. Oh yeah, the picture on it sucks because he's afraid someone might rip him off, so don't rip him off.
Here's a pretty nice piece: A game-used bat from Derek Jeter. Game-used equipment have to be towards the top of the list of the "cool memorabilia" items, especially when they've got a good story behind them. However, this guy has the Buy It Now listed at a monstrous $8,200.
