Sports Memorabilia: A Complete Guide with Graham Budd Auctions

David, John, and Adam from Graham Budd Auctioneers, the leading European auction house for sporting memorabilia, join Harry and Simon to discuss the world of sporting collectibles. They highlight the nostalgia and passion that drives the market, with football being the most popular sport due to its global appeal. They also discuss the emergence of niche markets within football, such as vintage shirts and match-worn items. In addition, they touch on the F1 market and the high value of race-worn suits and helmets. The experts advise collectors to do their research, buy quality items, and buy from reputable sources. They explore the challenges of verifying the authenticity and provenance of items, as well as the importance of the story behind the piece. They also talk about the resurgence of vinyl records as collectible items and the crossover between sports memorabilia and music collecting.

Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on.
