It's not that hard to build your own little rare sports memorabilia collection. There are plenty of options to get involved. You can build a collection for yourself, to show off at your office or one to start for a youngster who will appreciate tangible pieces of sports history now or when they're older. One way is to search eBay's Vintage Sports Memorabilia category for “lowest priced first” and you'll see a wide variety of items available that won't cost an arm and a leg. YYou'll see a variety of directions you could take for your sports memorabilia collection based on the items available and going prices. Larger sports collectibles shows are another place to shop for cheap sports memorabilia. There are dozens of lower-prices, unique vintage baseball items are virtually every larger show, many of them one -of-a-kind or very rare--just not popular with the masses.

Consider:

Old ticket stubs.

Team yearbooks

Old pocket schedules

World Series and All Star game programs, NFL game programs and college football programs

*Vintage photographs
