A guarded, hidden vault in Delaware shelters some of the world's most eclectic sports memorabilia: A century-old Honus Wagner baseball card, Maradona's 'Hand of God” game jersey, Kobe's signed shoes, and even a Pikachu rare enough to be Ash Ketchum's.
To move from room to room, a security guard ushers you through a card-activated double door entry way, letting the first door close before passing through the next. There are surveillance cameras everywhere.
Interest in sports collectibles and memorabilia has boomed in recent years, not just high-ticket items but also for rediscovered pieces that had been tucked away in attics or basements. In August, a mint condition Mickey Mantle baseball card sold for $12.6 million, surpassing the $9.
Before the pandemic, the sports memorabilia market was estimated at more than $5.4 billion, according to a 2018 Forbes interview with David Yoken, the founder of Collectable.com.
