Super excited to have Scottie Pippen in my autograph collection now! I can’t say enough good things about Powers, this place is awesome!!
Washington REDSKINS NAME CHANGE and what it means for AUTOGRAPH COLLECTORS
Announced in July 2020, The Washington Redskins are changing their nickname. What does this mean for their memorabilia market? Also, what other team might this affect? Let’s find out.
This is not a post about whether this is right or wrong. I have no opinion on this. This is strictly about how this affects their memorabilia market and possibly how this might affect another team’s memorabilia market in the future.
Amazingly some online platforms have even begun banning items with the Washington Redskins name. Keep in mind, selling these items in the future may become difficult.
However, this is about you the collector and how this affects you.
Any officially licensed item with the Redskins logo seems to have gone up 1000% overnight. Recently I saw a mini helmet not even signed with bids up to $250! Pure craziness! Why is this happening? Obviously, nothing with the Redskins trademarked logo will be made any more. That's why.
With this recent news what types of items should you be picking up as a collector?
#1 Full Size helmets. I would try and find as many of the specialty ones as I could. White matte. Eclipse. Blaze. AMP. Whatever you like, buy that. These are going to be worth a fortune in the future. Even buying them signed and wiping the signature clean if you want to. Won’t be 100% perfect, but better than nothing.
#2 Mini helmets. Any Redskins mini will work. Again, prefer the specialty ones. But those throwback ones are way cool to get some of the older Redskins on.
#3 Licensed photos. Images are becoming tougher and tougher to find since PhotoFile closed down. PhotoFile was the largest supplier of licensed sports photos and they closed a few months back.
#4 Licensed Nike or Reebok jerseys. Last on this list simply because the Redskins have kind of a boring jersey so a custom, non-branded jersey looks about the same.
What other team might this affect?
You guessed it, the Kansas City Chiefs. Whether this happens I do not know, but it is going to be a topic for sure.
Given that Patrick Mahomes just won a Super Bowl title with the Chiefs, it may be the last Super Bowl win for a team named the Kansas City Chiefs.
I just did a video on my Top 5 Patrick Mahomes autographs you should have in your collection so be sure to check that out below.
What would I be stock piling on the Chiefs? Same stuff as the Redskins items with a big emphasis on the specialty full size helmets.
Another item to consider is the Kansas City Star framed original front page newspaper from the day after their Super Bowl win. These are going to be iconic (they already are) since newspapers are fading fast. With this being potentially the last Super Bowl win ever for a Kansas City Chiefs team and Patrick Mahomes the Super Bowl MVP and on the cover, these are going to be highly collectible. Have these framed for $149.

More a JSA complaint, but the cert says its a Brunson card. Second out of three times I've had to get JSA to fix an issue with their COA
Looks great

Shipping was fast and it came out great!
After procrastinating for a year on getting Miggy’s signature, I finally got it done. Another awesome addition to the rookie case. Thanks, Matt!
Thanks to Power Sports Memorabilia and to Dennis Rodman for the cool auto....
The autographs turned out better than I could have imagined. Was a pleasant experience from sending to receiving back the items. You have a customer for life.
Nice big autograph!
Great autograph on this giant 2XL jersey
Power Sports was very helpful. They will answer any questions throughout the process of getting your Autograph. And they packed very well when they ship it back to you.
Another great looking signature added to my team signed helmet. It is great to get notifications throughout the process and using UPS is great to protect my items.

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.

😍 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

The process was smooth and easy as always.
