BASKETBALL AUTOGRAPHS AND MEMORABILIA

Basketball Autographed Memorabilia Search Assistant

Since the early to mid 1980's basketball was a less than hugely popular sport in the United States. First Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, then the arrival of Michael Jordan, propelled the hoops game into the mainstream of American sports. Though those stars are all retired, many who watched them on television and at the arenas have come along to take their place on the court.

Many children (of all ages) idolize their favorite players and teams, and naturally gravitate towards collecting sports memorabilia of the players.

It was only recently that collecting autographs and memorabilia of basketball players became so popular. Prior to that, the players were usually happy to honor the less frequent requests for signatures and pictures.

Unfortunately, basketball autographed memorabilia is big business now. Many athletes have exclusive contracts with large corporations, and those that do autograph shows in the off-season usually command large hourly fees. For the most part, gone is the day when a fan can walk up to a player on the street, whip out a pen, ask them for an autograph, and get not only a signature but a smile in return. It's not impossible, just not quite as easy as it was 20 years ago.
