In the 1980's the demand for such collectibles increased especially after the NFL, NBA and MLB started selling team jerseys, both used and new. What had probably started as a hobby for most has now become an obsession for some who are willing to spend any amount of money or go to any lengths to acquire the memorabilia they desire. The collectibles get even more expensive with the increasing popularity of the teams or players. Collectibles of every sport are available in local stores or online.
