Sports memorabilia collectors would tend to agree. James's game-used jerseys have sold for between $2,000 and $8,000, according to Antiques Roadshow appraiser Leila Dunbar. A game-used jersey Bryant wore in last year's NBA finals sold for more than $30,000. Though prices may seem high to non-sports fans, they are a relative bargain compared with Jordan memorabilia.]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.com//article/?p_ArticleId=6737 http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.com//article/?p_ArticleId=6729 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.com//article/?p_ArticleId=6729 http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.com//article/?p_ArticleId=6730 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.com//article/?p_ArticleId=6730 http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.com//article/?p_ArticleId=6731 Stephen Strasburg Autograph Rookie Card Red Parallel" is already up to $11,000 -- and is expected to go as high as $40,000, according to the Associated Press. Strasburg was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 MLB draft, and his first major league start with the Washington Nationals on June 8 might well have been the most anticipated debut since that of the immortal Todd Van Poppel in 1991. OK, so sometimes the hype doesn't pan out. But in the case of Strasburg, it certainly has so far.]]> Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.com//article/?p_ArticleId=6731 http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.com//article/?p_ArticleId=6732 LeBron James and Chris Bosh wearing Miami Heat uniforms.]]> Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.com//article/?p_ArticleId=6732 http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.com//article/?p_ArticleId=6736 “What’s It Worth?” feature has arrived.

As a collector of books that focus on Mickey, I can tell you there are several things that I deem to be very important. I look at the quality of the photographs used in the book, the amount of color used in the production, and the quality of the paper, that is used in the printing process. My favorite books are those that use photos of Mickey that I have never seen before. So many books use the same photos over and over and I am always a little bit disappointed when this occurs. Yes, it is true that I would still buy the book, even if none of the above criteria were met, but it doesn’t hurt if the publisher goes the extra mile. As for the adage, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” I wholeheartedly agree.
In this edition of “The Complete Mickey Mantle Collectibles Guide,” I’ll be highlighting all of the Mickey Mantle biographies known to exist. I’ll also be including books that were written about Mickey by himself or with the help of others. Books that include him on the cover by name or with his picture will also be included. This is a mammoth undertaking that has over 100 entries and SCD space limitations will require that it be done in multiple sections.
