Collectible Sports Memorabilia

Lincoln, NE (PRWEB) October 28, 2005

Collecting sports collectibles or sports memorabilia, antique or modern, is limited by two factors: the money available and the space to be filled. Having determined these basic essentials, it is then a personal matter. The taste of the collector may lead to Baseball Memorabilia, Basketball Memorabilia, Football Memorabilia, Golf Memorabilia, NASCAR memorabilia, Diecast Collectibles, Bobble Heads, Hero Posters, or innumerable other things. The lucky acquisition of an admired piece may lead to a determination to get more of the same, or at least to find out what the admiration is all about.

An encyclopedia definition of Sports Collecting would go something like this: “The hobby of sports collecting consists of acquiring specific sports items based on a particular sporting interest of the sports collector. These sports collections of sporting things are often highly organized, carefully cataloged, and attractively displayed.” A sports collectible (or collectable) is defined as a manufactured item designed for people interested in sports to collect. The term sports memorabilia usually refers to items related to sporting that can be directly connected to a recent or historical sporting event or sports personality. There are many people that collect these sports memorabilia and collectibles.

Since collecting depends on the interests of the individual collector, it may deal with almost any subject including sports collectible & sports memorabilia. The depth and breadth of the collection may also vary. Some collectors choose to focus on a specific subtopic within their area of general interest, for example Baseball memorabilia of the New York Yankees, Basketball memorabilia of the Los Angeles Lakers, Football memorabilia of the Dallas Cowboys, Golf memorabilia of Tiger Woods, NASCAR memorabilia of Tony Stewart, Diecast collectibles of fire trucks, Bobble Heads for any sport, & posters of heroes such as Lance Armstrong. Others prefer to keep a more general collection, accumulating any or all Baseball memorabilia, Basketball memorabilia, Football memorabilia, Golf memorabilia, NASCAR memorabilia, Diecast collectibles, Bobble Heads, or Hero Posters.

When the NBA, MLB, and NFL began selling their basketball, baseball, and football jerseys in stores during the 1980s, game used jerseys also became a hot item among sports memorabilia collectors. Former NBA player Dennis Rodman was famous for taking off his jerseys and throwing them to the stands after his games were over. Michael Jordan is probably the basketball player whose memorabilia is most sought after by collectors. Today?s stars include Ben Roethlisberger, Shaquille O’Neil, Nomar Garciaparra, etc. These players seem to be pushing the already popular area of sports collectibles and memorabilia to a new level of acceptance to the public.

Collections can take the form of a single item such as a signed baseball, football, or basketball. Collections can also take the form of a series of items, such as jerseys from each member of a particular baseball, basketball, or football team. A NASCAR collection of hats from different drivers is very popular. Golf balls with different logos are especially popular. The cost of any sports collectible memorabilia item is directly proportional to the popularity of the sports figure with which the item correlates. The more popular the sports figure, the more money the sports collectible memorabilia item will demand. The whole sports collectible memorabilia industry is driven by supply and demand. The more demand the higher the price and vice versa. Also, the more supply of an item, the lower the price. Sports cards would be a good example. Only so many of certain cards were ever made. Those carry a higher price than those that were made in bulk. Quality is a very big determining factor in the price of any sports collectible memorabilia item. In general, the better the quality, the higher the price.

Kevin is the husband of Becky and the father of 2, Nicholas and Kirsten. He is an avid sports fan and over-all good guy. He has taken his love of sports and developed web sites that offer that love of sports to others.

New Valentine?s Day Gift for People Who Suck


Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) January 22, 2010

Doesn?t your ex* deserve a little something this Valentine?s Day? Too lazy to tell someone he?s a douchebag? Don?t want to get fired? Is that restraining order limiting your options?

(*According to Douche Bouquet, ?ex? is inclusive but not limited to a former husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, domestic partner, indentured servant, slave, concubine, robot sex toy, top ranked golfer, Senator, and/or proctologist.)

The Louvre LLC knows the feeling and they would like to help. The Douche Bouquet is the safe, festive way to thoroughly insult someone. No one gets arrested. No one gets fired. No one gets a subpoena to appear in family court (again).

The Douche Bouquet is cheaper than a therapist, contains no STDs (unlike that rebound hookup), and is less expensive than that bond you?ll have to post after committing the perfect crime.

According to The Louvre LLC, every Douche Bouquet sold at DoucheBouquet.com includes:

A complete professional douche/enema system

~ 5 foot tube, prelubricated. ?We don?t really know what this tube is for, and we don?t want to think about it,? says Douche Bouquet inventor Harry Balsanga. ?But if you go to the hospital for a major enema, they?ll whip this tube out ? we know, we researched it.?

~ flow control clamp, castile soap, drape, and enema bucket. Balsanga says, ?We put the whole thing in this wonderful medical enema bucket. Nothing says AWESOME like a big ole enema bucket.?

A festive decorative ensemble. The bucket is lined with black crimped party paper and inside the bucket are black roses and a ?Douche Card? that explains the ?oh-so-complicated Douche Bouquet concept,? Balsanga says, ?you know, just so the moron you sent this to knows exactly why he/she/it received it.?

Balsanga says that the goal for the Douche Bouquet is to convey to the recipient, ?you suck, now go stick some tube up your a**. After all, haven?t we all wanted to say that??

Douche Bouquet inventor Harry Balsanga explains the market: ?There are over 6 billion people on our planet, most of them deserve a Douche Bouquet. Bosses. Ex?s. That domestic life partner who gave you a STD. The surgeon who gave you lopsided breasts. Nearly every politician. Dallas Cowboy fans. Kanye West. Ice dancers. The list is almost endless.?

What prompted the discovery of the Douche Bouquet? Balsanga continues, ?There?s a problem facing Planet Earth. Too many douchebags are not fully informed of their suckage. Or not informed enough. Or not informed in a formal, gift-basket kinda way. These people need to be told formally and repeatedly that they are dbags. We want to be part of the solution. For $ 16.95 plus shipping.?

Was The Louvre LLC conceived by disgruntled, unemployed misanthropes? Not at all, according to company founders. They are business leaders who cashed out of their stifling corporate jobs to unleash their creativity, snide and wit. With time on their hands and years of corporate success, they decided to develop a series of ?very stupid ideas.? After all, they claim to be ?smart enough to make really dumb things happen.?

About The Louvre LLC

The Louvre LLC owns and operates DoucheBouquet.com and, together with the U.S. Congress, is a leader in the vulgar gag gift industry. The Louvre LLC has been a merchant of disdain since about a week ago. The name ?The Louvre? was selected because they are super classy.

A Mother’s CharmTM Celebrates Anniversary and National Adoption Month in November

hey noticed the boys were together. Then they learned that their sons were from the same 12-

Dallas, TX., (PRWEB) September 5, 2003

The founders of A Mother’s CharmTM, Ruth Ellen Heaton and Kari Hunt, are adoptive moms who met while going through the adoption process with Buckner International Adoption. They became friends during their time of “anticipation” and came closer together through sharing their emotional/hormonal swings. Finally, within a week of each other, the new mothers got the first glimpse of the children they had held in their hearts for so long. While sharing the new pictures, tchild group in an orphanage inside St. Petersburg, Russia. The two boys were the best of friends having lived together for years. A few months later, when one left with his new adoptive parents, the other was heartbroken and thought he would never see his friend again. Less than a month later, in December of 2001, he got to hug his long-time friend who was waiting for him at the airport in Dallas, Texas.

The idea for A Mother’s CharmTM began one night in September 2002 while the two families were together. Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Heaton were discussing charms and that they were each looking for pieces that reflected motherhood experiences as well as the process of adoption. Following some research, the mothers agreed to form a business together that would provide jewelry and gift designs that tell special stories of motherhood. Their Signature Collection designs would depict “Moments of a Lifetime”, the small happenings that a mother remembers years later. The new line would also offer unique pieces that recognize the miracle of adoption and celebrate the non-traditional milestones of an adoptive family.

Over its first year, A Mother’s CharmTM has become a business that regularly advocates for adoption. The company hosts free local seminars with expert speakers to advise on affording adoption in the current economic conditions. The company’s November anniversary and National Adoption Month celebration will include the release of its book 100+ Ways You Can Afford Adoption. The book is based on its popular seminar and has been modified due to requests received from across the USA to include information applicable to areas across the states. A Mother’s CharmTM is also developing a program to assist families who are raising money for adoptions.

A Mother’s CharmTM also supports orphan care programs around the world. Buckner Orphan Care International (BOCI) in particular holds a special place in the founder’s collective heart. While in Russia, the mothers saw the children in the orphanage wearing familiar looking clothing thanks to the generosity of BOCI. At the time, Mrs. Hunt remembers commenting to her husband, “It seems that the Cowboys aren’t just America’s Team,” referring to a child dawning a Dallas Cowboys sweatshirt. Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Heaton credit BOCI for providing their sons with many basic necessities while living in the orphanage, so A Mother’s CharmTM donates 10% of its profits to BOCI to help them help the otherwise forgotten children in the USA and around the world.

A year in business and A Mother’s CharmTM product line has grown from its basic beginnings to include a striking selection of innovative styles with many of the designs celebrating adoption. The popular “Gotcha” design, an engravable memento marking the day an adoption becomes final, is not only a sterling silver charm, but also comes as a key chain. And for the November celebrations, A Mother’s CharmTM will introduce the Gotcha Christmas ornament to honor the miracle of adoption at the most miraculous time of year. The first two ornaments produced will be engraved with December 7, 2001 and December 24, 2001.

About the Company

Two mothers, Kari Hunt and Ruth Ellen Heaton, who met in the process of adopting their sons in 2001, founded A Mother’s CharmTM in the fall of 2002. Relishing the “firsts” and other special moments with their newly expanded families, these career women and new mothers who have a passion for philanthropy, decided to make another life altering change. They wanted to create a business that would celebrate motherhood moments and make a difference in the world around them.

A Mother’s CharmTM (http://www.motherscharm.com) exclusive jewelry and gift designs capture the “Moments of a Lifetime”, the small happenings that make a mother smile when she remembers them years later. Their Signature Collection includes many special pieces that celebrate the miracle of adoption. The company opened its virtual doors at motherscharm.com in November 2002 with nine original Signature Collection sterling silver charm designs, the inspiration behind its 888-9-CHARMS phone number.

The company acts as an adoption advocate by offering free seminars on the financial and medical/psychological aspects of adoption, featuring various adoption stories and highlighting valued agencies in their publications. A Mother’s CharmTM also has a program in development that will foster fundraising capabilities for adoptive families in process.

Motivated by the care their own sons received, the founders have dedicated ten percent of A Mother’s CharmTM profits to Buckner Orphan Care International (http://helporphans.org/), an organization that provides humanitarian aid to orphans in the USA and around the world. In Summer 2003, Mrs. Heaton and Mrs. Hunt also created a philanthropic charm line depicting “Shoes from Around the World” to show their appreciation to Shoes for Orphan Souls (SFOS). Ten dollars of every shoe charm sold is donated to SFOS, an organization that collects and delivers new shoes to orphans in the USA and 37 other countries each year.

Sacramento Kings and Monarchs Recognized with Community Award by World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame

Boise, ID (PRWEB) May 20, 2005

The Sacramento Kings and Monarchs of the NBA and WNBA and Maloof Sports and Entertainment will be recognized with the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame’s (http://www.sportshumanitarian.com) Pro Team Community Award at its 11th annual induction ceremonies June 8 in Boise, Idaho.

The Pro Team Community Award annually recognizes a professional sports organization for their contributions to their respective community. The Kings and Monarchs and Maloof Sports and Entertainment are being recognized as a part of an annual humanitarian awards program along with Humanitarian Hall of Fame’s 2005 inductees Drew Bledsoe of the Dallas Cowboys, 1936 Olympic runner Louis Zamperini, and three-time equestrian Olympian Kathy Kusner.

The 2005 award winners include 1969 Heisman Trophy winner, Steve Owens of the University of Oklahoma, Lynn and Sally Stiles of Muscatine, Iowa’s Youth Sports Foundation and Bill Crookham of Caldwell, Idaho.

Ceremonies get underway at 6pm, June 8 at Boise’s Centre on the Grove. Tickets are $ 50 for adults ($ 16.50 for youth under 12) and available by contacting the Hall at 208-343-7224.

Through Maloof Sports and Entertainment the Sacramento Kings take the lead on a variety of community programs promoting literacy among Sacramento area youth. The donations take place as a part of the Read to Achieve event, Cesar Chavez Day of Service and Volunteerism and Day of Holiday Giving.

The WNBA’s Monarchs are focused on the important cause of breast health awareness as major sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Sacramento Race for the Cure where more than 19,000 participants run and walk in the fight to eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease.

The teams combine throughout the year with many other programs that touch virtually every corner of the Sacramento community. The programs range from visits by players to patients at the UC Davis and Shriner’s Hospitals, sponsoring a Thanksgiving dinner for more than 600 people in need at a local soup kitchen, to programs embracing the Chinese New Year, Pearl Harbor Veterans, promotion of pet adoption and the community’s “unsung heroes” as a part of Black History Month.

The Humanitarian Hall of Fame, located on the Boise State University campus, annually inducts individuals who are world-class in athletic ability, role models in their community and have a strong record of humanitarian efforts. Since President Gerald R. Ford served as its first honorary chairman in 1994 over 30 sports-humanitarians have been enshrined including tennis great Arthur Ashe, major league baseball pioneer Jackie Robinson, NFL coaching legend Tom Landry, the NBA’s David Robinson, and soccer great Pelé.

The 2005 class of humanitarians includes Drew Bledsoe, a former first round draft pick out of Washington State University, and current number ten career passing yardage leader in the NFL. The father of four is being recognized for his efforts to improve the lives of children most notably as a catalyst for the Parenting with Dignity curriculum developed by his parents, Mac and Barbara. The curriculum, which is estimated to have reached 1.75 million American families, teaches parents how to teach their own family values to their children and how to teach their children to make decisions based on these values. Its message is focused on helping parents and caregivers rethink their approach to discipline, punishment and empowerment.

Two U.S. Olympians, Zamperini and Kusner round-out this year’s class. Zamperini, the top American 5,000 meter runner at the 1936 Berlin Olympics who, after his B-24 crashed into the Pacific during World War II, began a two year odyssey that included 47 days adrift in a life raft and interment as a POW, has since spent a lifetime of teaching forgiveness skills to war veterans, youth and others.

Kusner is a three-time Olympian and silver medalist at the 1972 Munich Games, gold and silver medal winner in two Pan American Games appearances, and the first woman to be licensed as a jockey in the U.S. Her South Central Los Angeles “Horses in the Hood” program helped over 450 at-risk youth learn the value of responsibility and discipline through horsemanship.

“The City of Boise is proud to be the home of the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame, the only athletic museum of its kind in the nation,” said Boise Mayor David Bieter. “At a time when the sports pages are increasingly dominated by reports of scandal and questionable behavior, our Hall of Fame casts a spotlight on those extraordinary individuals whose physical talent and moral character make them positive role models for kids and adults alike,” added Bieter. “I look forward to this year’s World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame induction ceremony as another opportunity to underscore the oldest rule in sports: ‘It’s how you play the game that counts’.”

“Many of our most recognized athletes make positive impacts in their communities through their humanitarian efforts, yet their acts of selflessness are often not recognized,” said Myron Finkbeiner, Founder of the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame. “The Humanitarian Hall of Fame endeavors to showcase our role-model athletes who are humanitarians and preserve their legacy.”
