LeBron to Give Up #23

To honor Michael Jordan, LeBron is asking all players in the NBA current wearing the #23, to switch numbers. He feels the award of the Hall of Fame is not enough to honor whom he calls the greatest player in NBA history. If you are looking to add value to a jersey signed my LeBron, these will sell out fast.

LeBron will have to petition the NBA by March to be able to make the number change.

Healy Plaques

The 2009 New Yankees World Series Healy Plaque is due out anytime. Once those are available for sale, we will let you know right here. Each year when there is a new Super Bowl or World Series winner, a Healy Plaque is made for that championship team. The NFL and MLB has to approve the team photograph that will be used before these plaques can go into production.

We carry the 8x10 and the 13x16 sizes but find that our best seller is the 13x16 Healy Plaque. They each come with a choice of walnut, black or cherry wood. Combined shipping is available to give you the lowest cost possible for shipment. Then at the time of shipment you will receive a tracking number for your plaque.

Take a look here at our MLB and NFL Healy Plaques.

We're Back!

As you see the date of our last post was a few months ago. After being away we have decided to return to Blogger to use for our blog instead of where we moved to in September. Feel free to ask us any questions you have and be sure to let us know if you are looking for that special piece of sports memorabilia that you do not see on our website.

Give us a couple of days to get everything up and running.

Brian Urlacher

What a week it has been for Brian Urlacher. First his season starts with a wrist injury that requires season ending surgery and later in the week finds out that Dream Inc, which is the parent company for Mounted Memories, Pro Sports Memorabilia and Fans Edge, has used an "out" for their contract with him signed in 2007. They claim that since his injury puts him out of action for 16 weeks, they can terminate the contract they had with him for signing sports memorabilia, show appearances etc.

Brian has now sued them for monies due.

This jersey you see is authenticated by Schwartz Sports in Chicago.

What is interesting is that Schwartz Sports was bought by Dreams Inc in the summer of 2008. This will move quickly and no one knows at this time what will happen with Brian's memorabilia on the street. Will the value go up? Will it become hard to find this year? Or will his memorabilia drop in price because his is injured for the rest of the year?

2009 PGA Championship

Tiger Woods is simply on fire! He is 2 days away from his 15th major championship, the 2009 PGA Championship and is leading going into today's round. A couple of interesting facts, Tiger Woods is 8 for 8 when leading any major championship through 36 holes. After leading 54 holes it gets even better, 14 out of 14!

Arturo Gatti

Arturo Gatti died yesterday under suspicious circumstances.

Gatti (40-9, 31 KOs), nicknamed "Thunder", was very popular with fight fans because of his all-action style, which was epitomized in his classic trilogy with Mickey Ward in 2002 and 2003. Gatti finished that fight with a broken hand.

He won two world titles in his 16-year pro career. In 1995, he won his first one, outpointing Tracy Harris Patterson to claim the IBF junior lightweight title.

In his first fight after the Mickey Ward trilogy, that Gatti won 2-1, he captured a world title in his second division, beating Gianluca Branco on points for the vacant WBC junior welterweight title in January 2004.

Gatti made two defenses before losing the title to Floyd Mayweather Jr. via sixth-round TKO in June 2005. He came back to defeat Thomas Damgaard but lost his final two bouts, a ninth-round TKO in a challenge to then-welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir in July 2006 followed by a one-sided beating from former "Contender" star Alfonso Gomez in July 2007.

Arturo Gatti retired in the dressing room following that knockout loss to Gomez.
