There are several associations that promote genuine autographed memorabilia the most famous being the U.A.C.C. ( Universal Autograph Collectors Club). They have two types of membership, Registered Dealers and members.

Signed sports memorabilia is my passion and I have many famous autographs in my collection other than George Best autographs I have several autographed albums with a Bobby Charlton autograph and autographed photos of virtually every Premiership team in my collection.

Over the years I have collected many hand signed autographs, autographed photos, signed memorabilia and even collected autographed posters, but only in the summer as they often get soaked and ruined in winter time.

Every year everybody starts planning holidays as soon as the New Year celebrations are over and like everybody else I have started planning my bi annual visit to the United States.

It is really strange how you sometimes get possession of an item of boxing memorabilia from the strangest of connections. I have recently got and autograph of Manny Pacquiao from a friend who was visiting his father out in the Philippines.
