Christmas Gift Ideas – Football Memorabilia

While the internet is lit up by the black Friday deals, there has never been a better time to scour sports memorabilia retailers for bargains. That hallowed signed Roberto Baggio Jersey, signed football boots, or for a more modest price, a signed photo of your favourite player.

When it comes to signed football memorabilia, the price very much depends on the team and the person who has signed the item. The biggest teams, Juventus, Roma, AC and Inter Milan, and Napoli sell for the highest prices, and logically, the biggest stars, think, Baggio, Maldini, Buffon, Doff and Del Piero!

When it comes to buying signed football memorabilia for yourself, then apart from the obvious, of buying what you actually like, and would not mind having on your wall for the next few years, then buy what you can afford. If you’re just starting out then maybe you can pick up a signed photo. You can start a collection of the more reasonably priced Italian footballers for very little – from around £10 er signed photo for the lower rated players. It’s only when you move up the ranks towards the bigger stars where the money can start to get prohibitive. Signed photos of Benotto, Oddo, Lovotto and Caldera can be picked up for this kind of money. Expect to pay £100 for a signed Paolo Maldini photo.

If you are buying as a Christmas gift then you need to be careful.  Make the effort to find out which player or team the potential recipient is into before parting with your hard-earned cash, as the thought of getting it wrong is simply too much to bear! No one wants a signed Inter photo on their wall when they’re into AC Milan! Tread carefully, buy wisely, and your efforts will be rewarded on Christmas day when your loved one open their parcel!

If you can stretch to a signed football shirt then a whole world opens up to you. They can be bought from around £250, but the sky’s the limit when it comes to the biggest footballing heroes! While signed Maldini shirts retail for around £250, when it comes to Baggio, you are looking at the thick end of £1500! So you better be sure that the person you’re buying it for is going to appreciate your purchase!
