Putting Up Your Own Sports Memorabilia

With these collections that you currently have, instead of piling them up in your garage or basement, you can put up sports memorabilia out of them. This way, it would look more organized, well-displayed, and maintained in a room.

But if you are one who intends to start collecting, try creating your own sports memorabilia and consider these tips and processes.

  • It is best to layout a theme first before starting your collection. Consider starting with one team then eventually all the teams of a sport of your choice so that when they are put together, there would be no isolated item. In this way, your collection would look well put together. 
  • Decide on a safe place where you could put up your sports memorabilia. It could be in your home office or your own bedroom. Install shelves according to the items that you are planning to collect. It is recommended to install a built-in glass cabinet for your wall to avoid dust accumulated in your collections. 
  • If some of your collectible items include things that should be hanging on the wall, take precautions, and do not use any objects that would destroy the item. For this, put them in a frame of glass covering the entire article, making sure that it is dust-free and safe from insects entering into it. Examples of the items that should be framed are t-shirts and jerseys. Instead of using them, display it in a frame for safety as not to cause any damage. Posters and photos should also be included as they may be easily scratched or torn when posting. It is not recommended to use tapes or pins in posting these items.
  • Put a little shelf for these tiny collectible items and arrange them consistent with your theme. After putting all of your collections on display, you may design the background to add personality to your sports memorabilia. You have to put extra care for your memorabilia as not to lose its value.
