A beginner’s guide to building a meaningful and exciting collection.
Starting your sports collectibles journey is like joining a worldwide club — one that’s passionate, nostalgic and, sometimes, very valuable.
If you’re new to the hobby or thinking about getting started, here are 5 essential tips to help you build a collection that truly means something:
1. Pick Your Passion
Are you into football legends? Your favourite club? World Cup history? Starting with a theme makes collecting more personal.
2. Buy What You Love
Forget hype. Value may rise or fall, but your emotional connection is what will last.
3. Start Small (and Smart)
You don’t need to spend thousands. Look for official licensed items, like MyJersey collectibles, that blend design and authenticity.
4. Protect Your Collection
Keep your items safe from sunlight, dust and damage. Use display cases or acrylic boxes to store and showcase them.
5. Join the Community
Follow collectors on social media, visit conventions, and interact with fan groups. You’ll learn more — and find great opportunities.
