Signed Jerseys And How To Buy Them

By: Adriana Noton

There are many reasons why people buy signed jerseys. It can be to commemorate a great event, such as winning a trophy. In other cases it can be the much sought after signature of a favourite player or quite simply you may have met a player and got them to sign it. Other people may purchase them with a view to an investment in the future.

You can buy signed jerseys from a number of different places. There are licensed memorabilia stores. Sports stars often go to malls to do public signings or as part of an official tour. In other cases you may have bought them privately from an internet auction site.

Various factors can affect how much a jersey is sold for. One contentious area is whether or not the signature on the jersey is real or fake. A lot of companies and private sellers may claim to have a certificate of authenticity. This should not be something you consider when making a purchase.

Some people make the mistake of thinking a signature is fake if it looks different from another one. This is not always the case as people will often sign something in a hurry. In some cases the signature will change over time and most experienced dealers will be able to show you this.

Ideally the shirt should come from a registered dealer. They should be part of a trade association. These will often offer lifetime guarantees on the authenticity of the signature. In the event of the signature turning out to be fake you will be entitled to a full refund. However this is usually not the case as these will often be carefully sourced.

If you are lucky enough to own one of your own it is important to make sure they are framed as soon as possible or to find a store that offers them framed. It is vital that the glass of the frame does not touch the ink of the signature as you want to keep that preserved. Pen can fade over time so it is important that you keep your jersey out of direct sunlight and ideally in a glass display case. A well presented frame can also add to the resale value.

There are other factors that can affect the value of an item. For example just because a person is more famous than another does not mean their signature is more valuable. The value is determined by the significance of the event involved and how often the person signs. Some people are part of a licensed agency and therefore will only provide signatures through them, making their signatures rarer and more collectible.

Signed jerseys can be a great item for collecting as well as for preserving significant moments in sporting history. If you have any items like this at home you can get them valued at auction houses or by seeking independent dealers and asking their value. You can also look online to find official merchandise and memorabilia stores to get authentic signed memorabilia.
