Time to Sell Your Autographs? Here's What You Need to Know to Make it a Success
OK so you've made a decision to sell some of your sports memorabiliaautographs. What's next? Here are 5 things you should do to help maximize your sale and make it as easy as possible. Sorry, I cannot purchase any of your autographs.
#1 - Sell stuff people actually want. I know this sounds harsh, but not everyone is interested in the 2006 team signed Milwaukee Brewers baseball you have. While you may have spent days collecting the autographs, it probably isn't worth much on the open market. Pick items that appeal to a broad range of people. Focus on items that will actually get you a return. I remember when I first started selling autographs, I thought college baseball signed jerseys would be cool to sell. Heck, I played college baseball, I know the market. Bad move, sat on them for a LONG time, still sitting on a few. Nothing worse than spending time and money on items that don't sell.
#2 - Learn how to write quality item descriptions. Think about every possible question your buyer could ask and answer that question in the item description. What size is the jersey? When was it signed? Who authenticated it? Any issues with the jersey? When can it ship? Who signed it? Stuff like that. Also helps to write a little bit about the player. Not everyone knows who Kris Bryantis.
#3 - Take quality images. Pictures sell. Most people have an iPhone or something similar. These all take high quality pictures. You can use a free program like GIMP to Photoshop images. Take images of everything your customer would ask for. Images of the item, signature, and COA.
#4 - Pick a marketplace to sell your items online, we all know how those are. Craigslist is a waste of time. Don't do it. If you have a larger, quality collection you want to move at one time, you may reach out to an auction house to have them sell it for you. What is nice about that is they do #2, #3, and #5 for you.
#5 - Learn how to ship! One of the most important parts of selling an item. Don't cheap out on this part. If you don't know what you are doing, take it to a UPS store or FedEx Office and have them pack it for you.

Nice autograph. Thank you Matt Powers and his team for this signing event.
Another perfect autograph on my 3000 hit baseball. Always a great experience! Thanks again.
I've had this card since the age of 12. Never had the opportunity until now to get his RC signed. Thanks Matt for making this happen!!
Once again, Matt and his team delivered a smooth, professional experience in obtaining a Dustin Pedroia autograph (with authentication) to a book already containing a number of Red Sox greats’ signatures. I recommend Powers Spirts Memorabilia highly.
Great experience. Card was just as described. Excited to have this added to the collection.

Fernando Tatis Jr 2019 Topps Baseball Rookie Card RC #410 Graded PSA 9 MINT
😍 such a nice autograph! Thank you!
Thank you for another awesome autograph!
Mr. Powers delivered on my request for this Cal Ripken jr. autograph. It was a nice size clean and perfect signature better than I expected. Mr. Powers team is quick to respond with any concerns you may have and keeps you posted on your item. I will absolutely be getting more signatures through them to finish my collection. I highly recommend Powers Sports to anyone that has any doubts. I use to do send ins with Steiner sports until he sold, to me Powers picked up where they left off and I couldnt be happier. Thank you
Great experience as usual! I’ll definitely be getting more autographs in the future!!
As good as it gets

It's awesome to get this one back! Another added to the Collection.
Great job by Powers Sports once again! They were able to secure a great signature from Andy Reid on my trading card, using the exact type pen and the exact location that I requested. Accuracy and quality are their top priority!
I submitted 2 cards to get them signed by Patrick Ewing himself. Thanks Matt Powers and his team for this signing event.
Nice addition of Barry Bonds to my PC!

Awesome experience as usual!
Great experience! I had never gotten any autographs through a signing like this before and I had a number of questions. Someone called me right back & couldn’t have been nicer. The customer service was outstanding every step of the way & I couldn’t be happier with the Reggie Jackson autographed ticket.
Nice to have a trading card signed by Wade Boggs in his Yankees uniform. Thanks Matt Powers and his team for this signing event.
Nice to have my Rookie Card signed by Manny Ramirez himself. Thanks Matt Powers and his team for this signing event.
