Decorating with Autographed Sports Memorabilia

One of the hottest trends in decorating for a man cave or a den is the use of autographed sports memorabilia as accent pieces. There are many different ways to display sports memorabilia in your home. These are just a few of the most popular ideas for man cave decorations and displays.
Autographed Jerseys on the Wall
Uniform jerseys are among the most popular types of autographed sports memorabilia available. Generally, when you purchase an autographed uniform jersey, it will be included in a framed display to protect it from the air and other damage. Hang the framed displays on a wall and highlight them with subtle recessed lighting from above or below. It’s a great way to display any type of framed sports memorabilia.
Display Cases for Autographed Sports Memorabilia
You’ll feel like the luckiest kid at the ball park when you can proudly display a baseball autographed by your favorite hometown slugger. Signed baseballs, basketballs and hockey pucks have always been among the favorite types of autographed sports memorabilia, and a collection of autographed balls or sports equipment looks its best when displayed safely and properly in a case. Looking for something special? There are dealers of autographed sports memorabilia that specialize in hard-to-find autographs and artistic displays for discriminating sports fans.
Uniquely American Sports Memorabilia
Americans have a lasting love affair with baseball that dates back to the origins of the game. It’s the only sport where we traditionally expect our leader to kick off the official season by throwing out the first pitch – and political pundits have commonly made much of the president’s throwing ability. One of the most impressive and unique pieces of framed Presidential memorabilia ever to hit the market brings together politics and sports in the game that’s as American as – well, the President. It features autographed baseballs signed by four former U.S. presidents – George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford – along with a photograph of the presidents together in the Oval Office and authentications of all signatures.
Collectible Sports Memorabilia
Most autographed photos are not quite as rare and are considerably more affordable than a showpiece like the Presidential baseball display, but that doesn’t make them any less desirable. If you’re choosing a gift for a sports fan, an autographed photo of a classic sports moment is one that’s sure to be appreciated.
No matter the sport, you’ll find autographed sports memorabilia to honor it, but there are many dealers out there who don’t authenticate carefully. Don’t get taken in by a fake piece of sports memorabilia. Ensure that you’re buying authentic baseball memorabilia, basketball memorabilia, football memorabilia and other sport memorabilia items by buying from a reputable memorabilia and collectibles dealer.
