Sports fans and collectors have been collecting, saving, and bidding on treasured sports artifacts for as long as there have been artifacts to collect. Some cost small fortunes, while others are priceless to those possessing them.
A piece of sports memorabilia can come in many forms. It can be the home run ball you caught at last weekend’s game, the pair of vintage Air Jordans you bought in the 80s but never opened, or the classic cap you own of a team that no longer exists. You won’t find all this memorabilia on eBay, but the ones you do will cost more than most Americans make in a year.
