Looking for reputable dealers. Specifically boxing memorabilia. There is so much counterfeit stuff out there . I would rather pay more for something I know is real for something I am so passionate about. Tia.

I have a decent Saints collection. I used to attend TC and autograph signings.

I have a Brees, Colston, and Ingram Framed autograph jersey. Cam Jordan unframed autograph jersey, and about 10 8x10 autograph pictures from Saints players

TriStar shows.

You'll want to only buy JSA or PSA certified stuff.

yeah I do.. all through Tristar Authentication..Just need to go to those shows if you really want reputable dealers. They are all there.

many autographs but my most prized ones are

Bats signed by Willie Mays and WIllie McCovey
Ball signed by the 1938 NY Giants that including Mel Ott

I'm more of a collector of tobacco cards.

Unfortunately, you’ll be restricted to buying from JSA or PSA authenticated items. There are tons of eBay sellers that will sell you an item they say has a COA, and the COA is just a slip of paper saying the seller authenticated it.

I have probably 2,000-3,000 autographed cards, some jerseys, helmets, bats, etc. Honestly, one of the best ways to check is to compare what you want to buy to pictures of authenticated autographs from the same athlete.

I have a lot of auburn footballs from when I was a kid and went to fan day. Unfortunately used sharpie and most are fading now. Have the whole 04 team but it’s going quick.

Other than that we have a signed Maddux glavine Smoltz Avery picture and a signed chipper Beckett magazine. Lots of signed baseballs from spring training when I was a kid too from the 98 team

There are UV resistant holders that keep the signature from fading. That’s what I keep all my badeballs in. I’m sure some are made for football too. I made the mistake of having some stuff signed with crappy pens, so the signatures bled.

Grading ruined cards for me. It was so much more fun when cards were sold and traded "out of the pack" and mostly hand to hand. Lots more money in the smaller end of the market. Talking lock flea markets, card shows and shops. Great times. Nothing more exciting that busting hundreds of packs at a time just to see what you get.
Had a monstrous, valuable Griffey Jr collection from '89 through the inception of subsets, inserts, parallels, memorabilia cards, autographs and one of ones. Small fortune in cardboard. Got me through some poor times in my young adult years.

TriStar just had a show yesterday in Houston. I think they have them twice a year. The National show is in late July and rotates from a few cities. Not sure where this year. I’ve made a few in Chicago. Those are legit. You can find anything there.

this is solid advice. I have 30 mini college football helmets (Manning, Cannon, Bo, OJ, Elway....) if I didn't get them in person(tri star shows) I only buy PSA.

I’ve purchased a good bit from here. You have to pay an auction fee and shipping but you can still get good deals on legit items.

Ive been collecting for several years. Bought from and attended Tristar shows. Also mailed items to Steiner Sports as well to have Jeter sign.

As many have mentioned, JSA or PSA for 3rd Party authentications, or Beckett. Also look for authentication numbers that start with “W” from JSA or PSA. Means that the autograph was witnessed by a company rep.

IF you’re looking for Tyson items, look up Fiterman sports in Houston. I believe Tyson is exclusive to him.
