As Popularity of Michigan State Sports Grows, So Does Market for Authentic Memorabilia
No sooner had the Rose Bowl ended and my inbox was registering new emails like a cash register on black Friday. In that box was an email from a young boy who had been to the game and was asking me how much he should list his used ticket for on EBay. I had no clue and laughed it off.
For about one day. Upon returning to Michigan I was stunned at the number of people I knew who were buying ticket stubs and as I had witnessed Spartan fans with Final Four merchandise, I had never seen the level of enthusiasm for anything from the Rose Bowl or with the Rose Bowl moniker. It was intense.
As Michigan State continues basketball excellence under Izzo and sustained success with Dantonio and as players have success after their MSU career it has caused a burgeoning in the secondary memorabilia market. According to CapCredit, Americans spend nearly $35 BILLION annually in sports related items including memorabilia and ancillary items. That is astounding.
So where do American’s shop? Earvin MAGIC Johnson recently turned heads when he took the airwaves to endorse Steiner Sports.  Steiner is one of the gold standards in the sports memorabilia industry and Magic wasted no time endorsing them. (YOU CAN WATCH THAT BELOW)
Of course the old fashion way of walking up to your favorite athlete and having that one on one interaction is always the best for anyone, second best is getting it from a reputable dealer such as Steiner Sports so you get a Certificate of Authenticity. That not only assures what you are buying is real, but assures others should you need to sell.
You can get amazing items from any sports, team or individual and as your Spartans continue to achieve success, you are more and more a part of the action. Take a second and just look at this MAGIC JOHNSON AUTOGRAPH to see what I am talking about.
