Vintage Baseball Memorabilia is a Big Hit!

Baseball is considered by many to be “America’s Favorite Pastime.” And for that reason, baseball memorabilia continues to be a big hit among US-based collectors.

While there are plenty of modern-day baseball collectibles to get your hands on, those from the past are often the most unique and valuable. Let’s take a look at some sales numbers from the “McGreevy’s sports bar” auction:

  • 1903 Boston baseball program and scorecard: $2,242
  • 1900 souvenir mini baseball bat: $189
  • Vintage pinback button: $5,015
  • 1947 Boston Braves souvenir home plate: $71
  • Antique baseball glove: $201
  • 1958 Fenway Park season complimentary pass: $266
  • 1903 Folk art pennant: $325

While all of these items are related to the Boston sports scene, a quick search online or at a local estate sale will turn up a lot more than that. If you’re in the process of growing your collection, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

  • Narrow your search by team, player, or sport.
  • Do your research before making a purchase.
  • Verify authenticity.
  • Be patient if you deem the price to be too high.
