Autographed Baseballs Still Popular with Collectors

The recent National Sports Collectors Convention proved that signed baseballs are still among the most popular elements of the memorabilia hobby. They're still favored by collectors who seek autographs of past and present stars. Dozens lined up to add a name to a team-signed ball or to have a famous player put his name on a brand new, white official baseball as part of a "single signed" baseball collection.

A hand-signed baseball is easy to display and usually tells a story. Signed autographed balls from individual players past and present are one way to collect. Another is to garner those relating to a specific team or event.

Signature Baseballs (http://www.signaturebaseballs.com), a website devoted to autographed baseball collecting launched recently. The site's goal is to provide valuable information to fans and collectors and making it easy to purchase autographed baseballs. Signature Baseballs places all of the relevant eBay listings in one central location. Collectors can utilize a "shop by team" feature or browse through hundreds of signed baseballs available at any one time with bidding available directly to eBay from links on the site.

Signature Baseballs also offers tips for novice collectors such as how to determine if your autographed baseball is real, how to preserve and display your favorite signed baseballs, ways to build a meaningful collection and why Babe Ruth autographs are still valued by collectors. A list of the top ten most valuable signed baseballs is also presented as well as a list of authenticators, links to sports collecting information websites and other sports autograph sites.
