Brett Favre Retires

2008-03-11T19:04:00Z

Bye Bye Brett

2008-03-07T20:41:00Z

Unless you live under a rock, I’m sure you know that Brett Favre announced his retirement this past Tuesday. I know this is sad and shocking news for most football fans, unless of course you love the Vikings. After seventeen seasons, not seeing him on the field is going to take some getting used to, but don’t despair. We can still celebrate Favre’s amazing career, even if he is no longer playing the game by collecting his sports card memorabilia.

Sure when you think of sports cards, baseball is the first thing that comes to mind, but sports fans don’t only value baseball cards, there is a huge demand for football cards as well. When a legendary player retires, both football and baseball cards worth can go through the roof. Some fans out there have already started collections of Brett Favre memorabilia, like iTaggit users IndieRichard and Sportsmem.

Show the world you still love Brett, by getting a few items for yourself. If you already have an awesome item tell me about it and check out this tribute to Brett Favre.

Super Bowl XLII’s Giant Upset

This years’ Super Bowl was fated to go down in history books no matter the outcome. Had the Patriots won, they would have achieved a perfect season, only the second in NFL history. To their dismay history has been written another way. The New York Giants achieved one of the most significant upsets in sporting history when they beat the Patriots with a score of 17-14.

Interestingly, this was the most watched Super Bowl ever with over 97 million viewers, and the second-most-watched TV show in the U.S. second only to the 1983 M*A*S*H series finale.

Super Bowl XLII

2008-01-21T18:48:00Z

It's official. Super Bowl XLII will host Eli Manning and the New York Giants as well as Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. This is quite surprising considering where these two teams began the season: an 0-2 start that had the fanbase questioning the QB as a franchise disappointment and an organization wrapped in a cheating scandal of which they were found guilty. But lo and behold, these two phoenix-like teams have risen above the ashes and landed themselves in the big game; which is appropriately being held in the suburbs of Phoenix.
Last night, Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress froze the Packers dreams of returning to the Super Bowl. Burress played beyond his average greatness, catching 11 passes for 154 yards, and forcing two defensive penalties out of Packer Pro Bowl cornerback Al Harris during his 60-minute workout.
Earlier in the day, it seemed that the Patriots were faltering from their usual level of play, led by Tom Brady's carelessness in his passing game. The Chargers defense, who led the NFL in interceptions and takeaways, picked off Brady three times (including his first red zone interception in two years).Then the second half began and the Patriots became wise to using the small-ball approach; a shift that would turn the game around for them and allow them to control the ball for a staggering 21:38. Tailbacks Laurence Maroney and Kevin Faulk combined for 221 yards and 35 touches from scrimmage.
Needless to say, Sunday February 3^rd won't come quietly, as these two set up for a great rematch. For sports cards collectors, this is the golden ticket for authentic sports memorabilia. Manning vs. Brady. Burress vs. Moss. The match ups at each position are star-studded and fully aligned for an exciting clash. The autographed memorabilia from this meeting should be something worth holding on to.

2007 Patriots Memorabilia

2008-01-10T16:11:00Z

16-0. The 2007 New England Patriots have gone undefeated. With today's salary cap and free agency being what it is, it's simply incredible what this team has done. It's because of this accomplishment that every sports enthusiast wants to get their hands on 2007 Patriots memorabilia.

Tom Brady was named the NFL's MVP and Offensive Player of the Year as well. Two great pieces of memorabilia that will definitely be worth hanging on to are the Tom Brady autographed helmet and the Tom Brady autographed jersey.

Brady also broke Peyton Manning's record for Most Passing Touchdowns in a regular season. It was largely due to the big play of Randy Moss, who also broke the record for Most Touchdown Receptions in a regular season. The Randy Moss signed helmet is a great gift for any New England faithful.

A great way to commemorate this newly formed record-breaking tandem is with both the Tom Brady autographed football and the Randy Moss signed football.

The face of the defense has always been linebacker Tedy Bruschi. He is the leader of this defensive unit and led the team in both Solo and Total Tackles. The autographed Tedy Bruschi jersey and Tedy Bruschi signed photo are both hot commodities.

And at last, the absolute "must have" for Patriots fans is the 2007 New England Patriots team signed helmet. It's signed by 46 members of this years Patriots team including Tom Brady, Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel, Asante Samuels, Rodney Harrison and Bill Belichick.

The 2007 regular season belonged to the New England Patriots, and now many sports fans and memorabilia collectors alike want 2007 Patriots Memorabilia to belong to them.

Michael Vick Memorabilia

2007-12-11T16:51:00Z

Michael Vick had one of the most promising careers in the National Football League ahead of him. He was the star quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons and the 2007 Draft brought plenty of young talent onto the team to spark a successful season. Little did they know that shortly before the season kicked-off, Vick would be turning himself in on charges of racketeering and drug use, as well as suspicion of lying about his involvement with the “Bad Newz Kennels” dog fighting operation. A case that has certainly affected the collectible value of his memorabilia. Vick was sentenced on Monday to 23 months in prison, which carries a possibility of being reduced by approximately 4 months if he shows good behavior. The real question on everyones' minds is if he will ever play pro ball again. His $130 million contract, once the richest in NFL history, is now suspended without pay, and all of his endorsement deals have been revoked. When asked about an indefinite suspension before the trial, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell responded “That's a determination we'll make later on... when the legal process is closed.” Now that sentencing has occurred, the professional career of Michael Vick lies in Commissioner Goodell's hands. As for his authentic sports memorabilia, one could argue that the current value might be solely based on the whirlwind of media frenzy surrounding the case and only time will tell how this controversy will affect his overall worth. What are your thoughts?

Denver Broncos Memorabilia

2007-11-29T00:07:00Z

The AFC is one of the most exciting divisions in the NFL. So it should come to no surprise that one the hottest items this holiday season is Denver Broncos Memorabilia.

Nobody can talk about Denver greats without mentioning #7. One of the most prolific passers in NFL history and the mastermind behind "The Drive", there is not one Broncos fan that wouldn't love to have a John Elway signed football or John Elway signed helmet.

Another great to dawn the orange and blue was Terrell Davis. He catapulted the team to back to back championships in '97 and '98. A great way to remember the Hall of Fame running back is to get your hands on a Terrell Davis autographed jersey.

Still need ideas for the holidays? Check out more Denver Broncos memorabilia.

ESPN Releases Latest NCAA Football Power 16 List

2007-11-26T21:38:00Z

ESPN has come out with their latest Power 16 list, heading into a week of Conference Championships. One-loss West Virginia has vaulted to the top spot, while Missouri's victory over Kansas has moved the Tigers up to No.2. The Mountaineers received eight first-place votes, and the Tigers picked up seven. Ohio State, Georgia, and USC round out the top five. Say goodbye to Oregon (11), Texas (13), and Virginia (16) and say hello to Illinois, Tennessee, and Clemson. Time to organize your football memorabilia, for it seems a new era is being ushered in. The Big 12 North is becoming a more formidable foe for the South, the SEC is knocking itself down in a struggle for the top every other week, and the Big East, Pac-10 and Big Ten are nothing to scoff at. And over it all, an autographed football by Darren McFadden, Tim Tebow, Chase Daniel or Pat White might be worth a pretty penny here in the next month or two. Anyways, check out the recent top 16 and see if you agree with the standings. No doubt if you don't, they'll change in a week anyway.

1. West Virginia, previously ranked #4, 10-1 record
The stakes in the Backyard Brawl have never been higher. A victory over Pitt sends WVU to the BCS title game. Who saw that coming after the loss to South Florida two months ago?

2. Missouri, previously ranked #3, 11-1 record
It's the season for miracles. The Tigers weren't ranked until late September, but now they're one win away from New Orleans. Christmas arrives early if Mizzou beats Oklahoma.

3. Ohio State, previously ranked #5, 11-1 record
You won't find bigger Oklahoma or Pittsburgh fans than the folks in Columbus. The Buckeyes' holiday wish includes an upset... and the way this season has gone, don't be surprised if they get it.

4. Georgia, previously ranked #7, 10-2 record
Is any team playing better than Georgia? The Dawgs don't have an SEC East title to show for it, but they've won six straight games and keep their hopes alive for an at-large BCS bid.

5. USC, previously ranked #9, 9-2 record
There probably won't be a national title for Troy this season, but if USC beats UCLA, the Trojans will claim an unprecedented sixth straight Pac-10 title and a trip to the Rose Bowl.

6. LSU, previously ranked #1, 10-2 record
The Tigers have pulled out close games all season, but their triple-overtime loss will hurt for a while. LSU's national title hopes are likely done (thanks Darren McFadden), but it can claim the SEC crown versus Tennessee.

7. Oklahoma, previously ranked #10, 10-2 record
DeMarco Murray won't play in the Big 12 championship, but it won't matter if Allen Patrick runs like he did versus Oklahoma State. Patrick's line: a career-best 202 yards on 29 carries and two TDs.

8. Kansas, previously ranked #2, 11-1 record
The Jayhawks were second in the nation in scoring (46 ppg), but KU didn't score in the first half and was held to 28 against Missouri. Kansas' 42 yards on the ground didn't help. The Tigers finished with 151.

9. Virginia Tech, previously ranked #8, 10-2 record
Since the loss to BC, Va. Tech has won four straight, outscoring its opponents 144-59. The Hokies get a rematch when they face the Eagles for the ACC championship on Saturday.

10. Florida, previously ranked #12, 9-3 record
Even a broken hand can't stop Tim Tebow or his Heisman campaign. Tebow threw for three TDs and rushed for two more in the rout of Florida State. If you're counting, that's 29 TD passes and 22 rushing.

11. Arizona State, previously ranked #6, 9-2 record
The Sun Devils don't just lose to USC; they lose big. ASU has lost eight straight to the Trojans by an average of 19 points. The good news? They've won five of seven games after USC.

12. Hawaii, previously ranked #14, 11-0 record
Hawaii is the only unbeaten team in the Top 25. With its first outright WAC title in hand, the Warriors' next goal is to finish off an undefeated regular season. Will BCS berth follow suit?

13. Boston College, previously ranked #15, 10-2 record
Matt Ryan finished the regular season with 28 TDs, breaking Doug Flutie's mark, as the Eagles broke a 15-game losing streak vs. Miami. BC can make its first BCS bowl appearance with a win over the Hokies.

14. Illinois, previously unranked in Power 16, 9-3 record
The Illini haven't played since Nov. 17, but they continue to move up in the rankings. They'll be rooting hard for Ohio State to play in the BCS title game because that might mean a trip to Pasadena.

15. Tennessee, previously unranked in Power 16, 9-3 record
Is it time to step off the “Phillip Fulmer must go” bandwagon now? The Vols are the unlikely SEC East champions and will look to claim their first conference title since 1998 against LSU.

16. Clemson, previously unranked in Power 16, 9-3 record
After throwing only 22 passes in his first two seasons, Cullen Harper impressed as a full-time starter. Harper finished the regular season completing 67 percent of his passes with 27 TDs and only six picks.

Others receiving votes: Brigham Young, Auburn, Oregon, Wisconsin, and South Florida. Football collectibles have certainly been a popular item this year due to the weekly fluctuation in rankings among the teams. Be sure to post your items in your 2007 football collections and root your teams on through the Bowl season!

Chicago Bears Memorabilia

2007-11-06T22:13:00Z

Never count out the Chicago Bears memorabilia. Halfway through the season they aren't exactly sittin' pretty at 3-5, but they still have what it takes to turn this season around.

So if you're a big fan of "Da' Bears" check out this Brian Urlacher signed jersey, for he is still a dominating force at the middle linebacker position. Another great piece of sports history anybody should jump on is this Devin Hester autographed football, look for this return specialist who some consider the most dangerous return man the NFL to break records this season.

The Bears have a lot of history and have had some great players wear the navy blue and red. Particularly on the defensive side of the ball. If you or somebody you know remembers the hard hits delivered from the Monsters of the Midway, a must have for any fan is the *** Butkus autographed helmet.

Aside from being one of the elite teams in the NFL, the Chicago Bears are also one of the saught after teams when it comes to football memorabilia.

Signed Colts hat and poster

2007-11-05T03:27:00Z

I have an Autographed Colts Super Bowl Championship hat and a colts autographed poster and I was wondering how much they are possibly worth?
