Quick guide to buying Golden State Warriors memorabilia

There are several types of Golden State Warriors memorabilia that fans can collect as a way to profess their love for their favorite NBA team. They can be classified into three – new items, autographed items, and game-used items, with the latter two deemed most valuable given their unique characteristics. They are most likely to increase their value over time, too.

New items 

Fans can purchase a wide range of Warriors gear, including apparel, car décor, home items, and tailgating items. Show off your team spirit by dressing in Warriors jersey, jacket, and other outfits, or don that baseball-style cap or knit winter hat. Decorate your home or car with flags, bedding, bumper stickers, or decorative floor mats for when you want to beam with GSW team pride.  


Autographed items 

Athletes’ signatures, ever in demand, can be obtained at personal appearances, post-games, open practices, and even chance encounters. Some enterprising individuals have even built a business out of obtaining these signatures and selling them to fans and collectors. Beware, though, of forged signatures and reproductions passed off as the real thing. Autographed items include player trading cards, apparel such as jerseys and hats, and paper items such as programs, ticket stubs, or player photographs. 

Game-used items 

Even without signatures, these objects used in games are considered to hold the highest value of sports memorabilia. It’s typical for die-hard fans to spend quite a fortune on jerseys, game balls, nets, and even court logos, especially if they’re from defining games such as championships or if from big-shot players such as Stephen Curry. 

eBay (under Collectibles & Art), as well as many sports memorabilia websites, offers these collectibles for GSW fans to collect, display at homes and cars, and enjoy for a long time.
