Man Cave Help - memorabilia

[adz2332]

Hey all,
I have a new room in my house thats going to be set up as my 'man cave'.
At the moment i have a few match worn footy guernseys framed and footballs etc.

Now my second love is the NBA.
Im after some NBA memorabilia. Signed worn jerseys etc.
Where is the best place to find these? What sites do you use?
Ive looked on ebay and what not but who is trust worthy and worth there weight as far as COA goes? As there seems to be alot of people out there who could just print a crappy COA out that means nothing!@

Help?

Do you mean signed jerseys or signed game worn jerseys?

Either way look for items from Upperdeck, GAI, PSA\DNA, JSA, steiner sports.

As you said 90% have COA's that can be made with a home printer and mean nothing.

either or mate.
Would fork out a bit more for an actual worn jersey

Ah ok thanks!

I recommend anything by PSA/JSA as they are legit and you can usually get some good stuff at the fraction of the cost of other stuff.
Like Michael @FreshJays23 said above, be careful with COA's as any 'joe' can make them up.

Here is a good start on ebay, sorted by auction and number of bids - you can find some great deals (check out completed items if you wish also):

Usually you can get them shipped for $20-24 from the US via the global shipping program (one time the program actually HELPS aussie collectors! - as it's an OK deal compared to getting a card shipped for that price).

Thank you much appreciated!!
I was just really sceptical about the COAs so ill keep an eye out for PSA / JSA mainly then....
Excellent, browsing i go

I think that it really comes down to what players you want to pick up which should dictate what form of COA you are willing to settle for. I agree with what everyone else has said but for me even PSA is a last resort as it is still an auto that has to be sent in.

A number of players over time have had contracts with either UD, Panini, Steiner for memorabilia and if your player has signed with one of those I would be choosing them over anything else.

Yeah, NBA auctions is a good start for official game-worn.

I'd also look highly at Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA) as a premier memorabilia retailer/product.
