The world of professional sports has been under fire since the latest stories of use of performance enhancing drugs. It appears that athletes get bigger, faster, and stronger and many of the records that people would stand forever are being broken. This was the case with Barry Bonds and his single season home run record and more recently capturing the all time home run record. He has been under fire whether he used performance enhancing drugs to get where he is at today. I grew up watching sports when Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Emmitt Smith were the star athletes. I remember watching Michael Jordan do the unbelievable things that he did on the court and win 6 NBA championships. I had many MJ sports collectibles like the “Air” Nikes, sports cards, and other memorabilia. I had the opportunity to get signed balls from Roger Staubach and even Emmitt Smith. Todays sports collectors can try and get their items signed if they are willing to wait outside the locker room or in the crowd at a local PGA tournament. I am an avid golfer and would love to one day be at a PGA event and have Tiger Woods sign one of my clubs. This could be the one thing I need to improve my game.
There is a sports collectibles company called Hypedupsports.com that features many authenticated and rare autographed memorabilia. They are an online marketplace that has been able to work a deal with Upper Deck to have athletes like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Lebron James, and Kobe Bryant to sign your sports memorablia. Interested sports collectors can click over to their site and fill out a form and order a signed autograph based on a limited basis. You will be given instructions on shipping and times to send in your item. This is a great idea for fathers like me with a young son that would love to get Tiger Woods autograph on his pitching wedge.
