February 18th, 2010

Rugby union, also known as rugger, is a form of football game originally played in England, but has also become famous in countries like Australia, Ireland, Fiji, South Africa, Scotland, and others. This game may not be as popular as the standard football game that most people have come to know. However, there has been a noticeable increase in the population of rugby union enthusiasts who are not just getting hooked with the game, but also with collecting Rugby Union Memorabilia.

Along with the growing popularity of this sports game is the increasing demand for its memorabilia and collectibles especially those that are signed and autographed by the rugby union players themselves. Many collectors are also easily attracted to vintage and contemporary memorabilia and tend to collect items from different tournaments, such as club and national tournaments, as well as international tournaments including the Rugby World Cup.

www.rugbyunionmemorabilia.comSome other popular collectibles include autographed rugby union balls, shirts, books, and magazines, as well as signed and framed limited edition photographs and presentations. There are also complete team signature sheets and commemorative and personalized books. Collecting memorabilia from specific nations are also getting popular. These include signed England rugby memorabilia, Scotland memorabilia, South Africa memorabilia, and Ireland rugby memorabilia.

However, if you want to become a serious collector, it may be important to know that the most in-demand rugby union memorabilia are those that have been worn by the legends of the game, including those who have passed away. These are definitely worth more than just any regular rugby union items. You can choose among the signed items from the world’s most famous players such as Jason Leonard, Gavin Hastings, Shane Williams, Neil Jenkins, and countless others.

To address the increasing demand for such memorabilia, more and more places that offer rugby union collectible items are being established. Among the many good places to purchase them include online auctions, memorabilia events and exhibitions, collectors’ clubs, online retailers, and mail order companies. You can also check out various advertisements on magazines and websites.

There is, however, a big challenge that comes with choosing authentic signed items. While the safest places to buy authentic memorabilia include rugby union events and clubs, there are also hundreds of stores that claim to offer authentic collectible items. But how do you really know if you can trust a retailer who claims to offer authenticated signed memorabilia?

One is to check whether your retailer has a good and established relationship with anyone of the rugby players, their team and their management. A retailer of authentic rugby union memorabilia also gives out a certificate of authenticity and a unique serial number every time an item is purchased. Lastly, the retailer provides a brief description or history about the collectible item being purchased. The information should include the date, time and the venue of the signing.
