2025 is Our 30th Year in Business!

With the internet still in it's infancy, Sports Artifacts started business in 1995 initially with display ads in The Sports Collector's Digest and The Vintage and Classic Baseball Magazine. We sent out catalogs several times a year in those days before finally unveiling our website in 1998. Initially our focus was primarily on baseball and football equipment, memorabilia and autographs but gradually we expanded our inventory to include items from over 20 different sports.

In the 30 years since Sports Artifacts started business, we have gone from being one of the most active sports memorabilia websites to shifting more of our sales to our eBay store. The reason for this is because the Sports Artifacts website is now becoming somewhat antiquated with no shopping cart and we have resisted online reviews because of the requirement of publishing our physical (home) address with Google Reviews and/or Yelp. Creating a new website complete with shopping cart and online reviews has been considered for several years, but for now we will continue to do business through this old website as well as our eBay store.

Take a look around, if you see something you like simply email us and let us know the items you want and we will email your choice of a PayPal invoice or Square credit card invoice. If you are more comfortable doing business on eBay we would welcome that. We offer great prices, service and inventory on eBay as well.

Sports Artifacts supplied many of the sports memorabilia props used for Ice Cube's sports memorabilia store in Columbia Pictures production "Are We There Yet" including virtually all the vintage gloves and bats and many other baseball, football and basketball items. We've also supplied props for TV shows The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Man in the High Castle, Young Sheldon, CSI Los Angeles as well as Billy Crystal's Broadway show "700 Sundays" and countless other plays, television shows and movies.

In October 2008, Sports Artifacts owner Kevin Johnson was interviewed by ESPN Magazine.

In December 2000 Sports Artifacts was featured in Elle Magazine as their #1 choice for sports memorabilia on the internet and in October 2012 Sports Artifacts was featured in Country Living magazine in an article about college football memorabilia.

Thank you for visiting the Sports Artifacts website.
