People always think that the more popular a sports team is the more valuable an item might be. For example lots of people love the Yankee or the Red Sox or for that matter in hockey the New York Rangers. However usually big name teams have TONS and I mean TONS of merchandise available from many sources. Its in chain stores, its in sports stores, its at games, its everywhere! The best sports items to sell are often items from now defunct (no longer in business) sports teams, especially hockey teams which seem to have developed a rabid following in their day. AHL (American Hockey League) teams are especially good since the AHL served as the proving ground for many NHL players. The fans were very loyal. In New Haven , CT we had a team called the New Haven Nighthawks and there are some crazy collectors and even though they havent been around for many years people still buy their stuff. I just listed a pair of unused season tickets from 1981 which already have a bid (pictured here). I still miss going to the games myself. I have some the most highly sought after New Haven Nighthawk items including one of the only sets of all the programs from when they played the Russian Red Army team before the fall of the Soviet Union. So think SPORTS, think DEFUNCT, think AHL and especially New Haven!
