    I really want to start a memorabilia collection but would really like to start with a few local boxers to me (Liverpool) such as tony bellew, david price, derry matthews ect any suggestions as to how i would make a start on this im willing to pay the postage to them and back to me just dont know how i would get a start on doing this.

    any help would be appreciated chaps:bbb

    I thought about twitter but a lot of people don't reply to DM's and I'm guessing they get a lot of **** private messages regarding similar sorts of requests!!

    Its not to difficult to get these items, with the social networks availabe. Some might want you to send them a glove which they will sign and send back. Or maybe a fight poster etc, the difficulty comes when trying to get a certificate of authenticity. Without that your memorabelia isn't really worth a great deal and some people will say ah bull**** you signed that yourself. If the collection is just for your personall pleasure then who gives a **** abot the CoA, but if you want to gain financially then its essential.

    the only issue with the social networks is that they have to be following you for you to send them a DM and alot of the boxers dont follow everyone which is highly understandable.

    im not in it for the money just want to start my own collection for my enjoyment .
