Sporting memorabilia at online auctions - 1Earth Antiques and Appraisals Magazine

One of the most active directories of eBay is the all-star line-up of sports and entertainment memorabilia.

Tens of thousands of dollars worth of the hottest pieces of sports, music, and television history are auctioned every month.

It really is worth a browse every so often to check for those rare photographs and autographs, signed pieces of historical memorabilia, icons that everyone knows and will be worth a small (or large) fortune in years to come.

Movie posters and publicity photos of the film stars can be carefully framed and hung on your wall - it will almost certainly appreciate in value whilst you appreciate it on your wall!

Sports posters promoting events such as Muhammad Ali's bouts with Joe Frazier are also highly collectible, and can be enjoyed - they make great conversation pieces in your den, pool room or even your office.

eBay regularly hosts auctions of sports memorabilia with proceeds going to charity. Recently, eBay was host to such treasured television and sporting icons as Johnny Carson's microphone from the "Tonight Show," an authentic jumpsuit worn by Elvis, the Olympic torch carried by Muhammed Ali (and signed) during the 1996 Summer Olympics, and a signed Mark McGwire home run ball (number 18) during his record - breaking 1998 season.
