Memorabilia: What’s the thrill?
A. My friends wonder why I have an extensive collection of other people’s clothes and shoes,
old concert programmes and albums at home. They think I want to relive special moments in
my childhood. That might be true for some collectors, but I’m not sentimental. You can make
a lot of money from things that have a special place in history. Sports equipment like balls
and shoes that were used in a great match, props from popular movies, clothes worn by famous
people, and first editions of books are all valuable, especially if they are signed.
B. There are a few different ways you can find this sort of memorabilia. First, you can buy it
at an auction. It’s expensive, but if you are lucky, it will be worth it because memorabilia can
suddenly increase in value, and you could make a lot of money. For example, a baseball signed
by Babe Ruth sold for over $77,000. In 2017, just four years later, a similar one sold for
$180,000, over twice as much! Imagine if you had enough money to buy that!
C. I can’t possibly buy that kind of memorabilia, but it is possible to buy part of it. Some
companies look for rare items from around the world that they think will increase in value.
People can buy a share of the memorabilia and buy and sell their shares over time. That’s a
great way to make money without spending a fortune, and for a little while, you can be the
part-owner of a piece of history, although you can’t take it home!
