Stephanie owns a sports collectibles store. She is assembling gift packs that contain a pack of cards, a figurine, and a team yearbook. There are 4 packs of regular cards and 2 packs of All-Star cards. Figurines include 3 different bobble-headed dolls and 3 different action figures. There are also 5 different team yearbooks. Which is the best method to determine how many different combinations of card packs, figurines, and yearbooks Stephanie could assemble?

A.) Add the number of card types to the number of figurines and mulitply the sum by the number of figurines

B.) Add the total number of choices and then multiply by 3.

C.) Multiply the total number of items in each of the three categories together.

D.) Multiply the number of options then divide by 2.

I was thinking it was C, but I don’t know…

Certificate of Authenticity Help?

Sports Collectibles
jabberjawz5197 asked:


I bought a signed matt hasslebeck football and it didn’t come with a certificate of authenticity. I was wondering if there is any way that i can go to a sports collectibles store and they will give me one after they get a good look at it. I would really like to know because if i was going to sell it a certificate of authenticity makes a big difference in price. Thanks. GO SEAHAWKS!!!
i had the certificate, but now i can’t find where it is. Like you said you buy as a fan, i would never want to sell it, but if worse comes to worse and i have to then i would, i am an avid collector and would never want to sell it.

Sports Collectibles Buying Guide

Do you need to find a unique gift? Are you looking for a way to let everyone know that you are a sports fan? Have you started a collection of sports collectibles that you want to build? Now Collecting sports collectibles is a huge hobby, especially among men. Favorite collectibles include: Sports cards, Bobbleheads, Diecasts, Sports plaques, Sports figures, Sports jerseys and more. With a wide variety of sports collectibles reflecting all sorts of interests, it may be difficult to determine how to buy sports collectibles. This sports collectibles buying guide is here to help you determine which sports collectibles are right for you, and what to do with your sports collectibles.

 

If you’re a sports fan already, then there are a few things you should remember when you wish to begin acquiring sports collectibles:

 

1. Decide how much money you want to spend on buying sports collectibles. The price of sports collectibles can be anywhere from under a dollar to thousands of dollars. Try to figure out how much you can afford on a monthly basis without disrupting your financial well being. If you are unsure, pick a low number and then increase your limit through the months. You can Go to Beckett.com to find the best price guides for sports collectibles. Before going out and purchasing sports collectibles, you need to know whether you are getting a good value. Without a price guide, you may overpay for an item that really isn’t worth much.

 

2. Select the type of sports collectibles you want to purchase. Pick a category to collect: Sports cards? Which sport? One team only? One player only? The options are endless. Perhaps you just want to go with sports collectibles that you believe will increase in value over the years. Once you have decided, stick to sports collectibles that fit your criteria.

 

2. Pay attention to the World Wide Web. Often, some really good “hot spots” emerge for only a few days before they close again. Plaques and other sports collectibles usually sell out, so better have feeds from the different news websites to be aware of the new trading spots for sports collectibles.

 

3. Find places that you are comfortable shopping for sports collectibles. Beware of fake sports collectibles. By using your local yellow pages, you can find stores in your area that specialize in sports collectibles. You can also look at websites such as usolympicshop.com, olympianartifacts.com and sportscollectorsdigest.com. If you are comfortable using online auctions, try shopping at Ebay.com. Some auction houses specialize in sports memorabilia; order one of their catalogs for an upcoming sale. Mail in a bid or hire a proxy if you can’t be there in person.

 

4. Enjoy yourself. Some people take their collections too seriously, banning people and family from seeing and touching them. Unless you’re a mint-condition-sports-collectible trader, allow people to enjoy your collection as well.

Easy Guide to Selling Sports Collectibles

Selling sports collectibles can be an easy and profitable process if you know the procedures to follow to maximize the value of your collectibles. Millions of people throughout the world buy sports collectibles, so the market you can sell to is vast. Many avenues exist to sell sports collectibles, but knowing the right way to go about it is the key to becoming a successful

 

1. Research to find out exactly what it is you are trying to sell. If it’s a sports card, find out the card maker and the year the card was made. If it’s an autograph, get information on who the autograph is by and any other noteworthy tidbits associated with it.

 

2. Get your sports collectible item appraised. Depending on the item, the appraisal process can be as simple as finding a price guide on the Internet or as difficult as locating a professional appraiser. When dealing with any appraisal service, make sure the source is reliable. You also can find someone qualified to give you an appraisal if you’re not sure about the value of what you own.

 

3. Decide on a selling price. The price should be comparable to the appraised value.

 

4. Sell it yourself. If your collection doesn’t contain any high-ticket items, you can try to sell them one at a time or in small lots on the Internet. Visit sports collectible themed shops in your area and see if they are interested in buying your item for the price you are asking. If that isn’t fruitful, post the item for sale on a free site like Craig’s List or on an auction site like eBay.

5. Verify payment before handing over the item. This is especially true when dealing with someone over the Internet.

Has anyone ever heard of or dealt with this company? Any info would be helpful. Thanks
I have an autographed car and the COA was signed by them. They were banned from E-Bay the day before I recieved the car. I think it may be fake.

Financially supporting your parents (in-laws)?

sports collectibles
A concerned husband asked:


So…the details:
My in-laws are great people, they support my wife & I very well (physically being there, and emotionally for her). They recently both are in the process of losing their jobs, unfortunately. My wife has already thrown out the idea of supporting them financially (this is after recent arguments about our finances within our house - we have no budget, and have been slowly eating up our savings/retirement money over the last few months from everything from extra medical care to frivolous spending). Her parents also spend money on a lot of hobbies, lot’s of extra stuff for their house, and literally have a garage full of stuff, and 4-5 outdoor storage sheds full of stuff as well - a lot of which could help if we sold some of it on eBay). I don’t have a big problem with giving them money (to help them survive), but I’d like it to fix some problems instead of just going to more “stuff” in their house (Disney tapes, collections, Pro sports collectibles, etc
They are considering a garage sale, but I think they won’t part with any of the “items of value” (just the “junk”). They are both looking for new jobs, but I have concerns there as well (he is not ambitious at all - doesn’t even help around the house at all including the yardwork, and she was at her job for over 20 yrs, and is definitely “set in her ways” so it will be uncomfortable in fitting into a new environment. Both are pretty good workers and nice people…I’m really hoping they both find jobs fast!
We are not millionaires (LOL), but do have a few “nuggets” in savings/401k that I’ve worked very hard for the last 10 years to attain. We also have a 3 yr old (and want more)… my obligation is more with my wife and daughter than her parents
Her parents have NOT approached us on this (but I anticipate that this subject will come up soon by them - hence this question on Yahoo)… my also wife feels very guilty for her mother and always feels that she “owes” her. I am considering financial support with the expection that we will have to sacrifice in other places (particularly our “fun money”) as there is ALWAYS a tradeoff with money (a dollar given away means 1 less dollar to spend) - my wife doesn’t seem to have that mentality (that it’s an endless supply, or “things will work out”). Like I mentioned we do not have our own house in-order financially, so the timing is really bad for this.
Thank you very much for the insightful answers…it’s grounded me and given me some perspectives to think about!

Would anyone else enjoy a category for Antiques/Collectibles?

sports collectibles
Chetco asked:


Most such questions are posted under Society and Culture, but I would love to see them in a category of their own.
Then, “Collectibles” would have several headings, for ’sport’, ‘transportation, ‘antiques general’, ‘maritime’, ‘military’, ‘glass’, ‘coins’, etc.
I could see a problem with it generating classified ads, but that happens in other categories already.
Hint–hint. Y!A staff notices questions with stars..
