Sell Your Autographed Jerseys & Sports Memorabilia in Dallas

Look for these red flags: signatures that look too perfect (auto-pen), inconsistent ink flow, signatures in unusual locations, and cheap-looking certificates. Real signatures have natural variations, pressure points, and flow. The best way? Text us photos at 972-573-4990 - we can spot most forgeries immediately and tell you if professional authentication is worthwhile.

Usually jerseys, but it depends. A game-worn, authenticated jersey with photomatching can be worth thousands. A common 8x10 photo might be $50-100. However, rare photos (limited editions, action shots, with inscriptions) can be valuable. Jerseys take up more space but generally hold value better and appeal to more collectors.

Yes, but at lower prices and only if we believe the signature is authentic. Items without COAs sell for 30-50% less than authenticated ones. We can often help get items authenticated through our professional connections if they appear genuine. Never buy a COA after the fact - that's a common scam. The authentication must happen at the signing event.

Provenance (proof it was actually worn), photomatching (photos showing the player wearing that specific jersey), significant games (playoffs, championships), star players, and condition. Team documentation (like MeiGray tags for hockey) adds huge value. A Cowboys jersey actually worn by Dak Prescott in a playoff game is worth substantially more than a store-bought signed jersey.

We consider: 1) Authentication (PSA/DNA, JSA, etc.), 2) Player significance (Hall of Famer vs. role player), 3) Item type (jersey, ball, photo), 4) Condition, 5) Inscriptions ("HOF 2020" adds value), 6) Market demand (Cowboys items sell better in Dallas), and 7) Recent auction prices. We track all these factors daily for accurate appraisals.

Only if we recommend it after seeing photos. Authentication costs $50-150 and takes weeks. For items worth under $500, it's often not worth it. For potential high-value items, we'll advise if authentication would increase value enough to justify the cost and wait. Text us photos first - we'll give you honest advice about whether authentication makes sense for your specific item.

Yes, but significantly reduced. Fading from sunlight exposure, sweat stains on jerseys, or ink bleeding on photos can reduce value by 60-80%. However, if it's a rare item (like a Mickey Mantle signed ball), it still has value to collectors. Always store autographed items away from direct sunlight and in stable temperature/humidity conditions.

Through-hand means the player signed the actual item (jersey, ball, photo). Sticker autographs are signed on a sticker that's then placed on the item. Through-hand is always more valuable (often 2-3x more). You can usually see sticker edges under good lighting. We check for this during appraisals as it significantly affects value.

Both! We frequently purchase entire memorabilia collections from estates, former athletes, or collectors downsizing. For large collections, we can visit your location in Dallas, inventory everything, and make a single offer for the entire collection. This is often easier than selling items individually.

For jerseys: Use padded hangers or lay flat, never fold over signatures. For balls: Use ball cubes or holders. For photos: Acid-free sleeves and backboards. Never use tape, rubber bands, or plastic that can off-gas and damage signatures. Transport items in clean, sturdy boxes. If you're unsure, text us photos first and we'll advise on the safest way to transport your specific items.
