Collecting for 2010 Winter Olympics

Winter Olympic Sports Memorabilia collections can be around the particular games, a sport or a person. But should the collection be for fun, passion or money? That's up to you but if you start with fun or passion and then learn to choose wisely, you can have them all.

The winter Olympics are staged every four years, two years apart from the summer Olympics. The first Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix, France in 1924. Prior to this, figure skating and ice hockey had been events at the Summer Olympics. Prior to this, figure skating and ice hockey had been events at the Summer Olympics.

The sports that are now in the Winter Olympics are:
· Alpine skiing
· Biathlon
· Bobsled
· Cross-country skiing
· Curling
· Figure skating
· Freestyle skiing
· Ice hockey
· Luge
· Nordic combined
· Short track speed skating
· Skeleton
· Ski jumping
· Snowboarding
· Speed skating

The Winter Olympics also has demonstration events including Bandy, Ice stock sport ski ballet, Skijoring, sled-dog racing, speed skiing and the winter pentathlon.

This year the Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver, Canada. The venues are:
· BC Place
· Canada Hockey Place
· Cypress Mountain
· Main Media Centre
· Olympic Village Vancouver
· Olympic Village Whistler
· Pacific Coliseum
· Richmond Olympic Oval
· Whistler Sliding Centre
· UBC Thunderbird Arena
· Vancouver Olympic Centre
· Whistler Creekside
· Whistler Media Centre
· Whistler Medals Plaza
· Whistler Olympic Park

When starting out in collecting Sports Memorabilia, it is good to start with your favourite sport. It would be wonderful to collect declared national treasure and FIFA ambassador, Pele. However, we

One area, is autographed sports memorabilia. The success of the individual will change the value of the item. As well, the ability to prove an item is "game worn" and can be related to a particular famous game will increase the value.

Retirement or death can add value to items for popular sportsmen. However, the need to prove authenticity or the devaluation that occurs when the autograph has a personal address such as the recipient's name, make this market fraught with difficulty. The difficulty in dealing with the large number of fraudulent signatures for sales has led to the need to have a certificate of authenticity and to buy from a reputable dealer.

Did sports memorabilia start when Babe Ruth started collecting memorabilia. Or did sports memorabilia collecting start even earlier. Surely, a celtic football in the dark ages that was one of the first sports memorabilia. Olympic memorabilia have long been collected since the early years of last century.

There is now a wide range of memorabilia for winter Olympics. These include the torches and torch replicas, jerseys, hats, T-shirts, jewellery, coins, pins, scarves and ties. And of course, every winter Olympics must have a mascot and these generate another area for collecting.

Vintage sports marketing which refers to older items have been appreciating significantly. The early Winter Olympics had few commercial collectibles, so any memorabilia are hence more valuable.

Find the value of an item is hard. Searching for valuations for sports memorabilia can be difficult. Until a item is exchanged at auction with interested buyers, the value of any item of sports memorabilia is in the owner's mind only.

But buying something for a sport you love is a good start.
