/EINPresswire.com/ As Jeremy Lin heads to the Houston Rockets, fans who own collectible sports memorabilia from his year in New York can turn a profit. Online retailer Collectible Supplies offers mementos from the Asian sensation’s all-too-brief tenure as a New York Knickerbocker.
As last season’s most celebrated New York Knick, Jeremy Lin became a household name. His New York Knicks jersey became a best-seller, and many around the country scrambled to take part in “Linsanity.” Whether inspired by his story of hard work and determination, his strong Christian faith, or simply his prowess on the court, people across America connected with Lin, but nowhere more than in the five boroughs of New York City.
With the recent announcement that Lin will don a Houston Rockets jersey after signing a lucrative multi-year deal with the franchise, many New Yorkers are disappointed. For memorabilia collectors, though, this news could be very profitable. Scarcity could drive items like Lin’s Knicks jersey or rookie card to become collectible sports memorabilia, worth a fortune.
Collectible Supplies, an online retailer of sports memorabilia, also offers the display cases and frames needed to protect collectible items. From jersey cases to sports card frames, a small investment in a protective item can go a long way.
“Right now, Lin merchandise is going to be everywhere in New York. But by the fall, the push will be on his Rockets jersey,” said Jeff Peterson of Collectible Supplies.
Born in California to parents of average height, Lin grew to a towering 6 foot 3 and led his high school team to a Division II title. After graduating Harvard University, Lin was invited to work out with NBA teams but went undrafted.
After years of playing for Developmental League teams, Lin finally got a starting spot in the Knicks line-up in February 2012 after injuries to the then-current starter. A combination of his prowess on the court and his unlikely story helped Lin skyrocket to global fame.
“I have no doubt his star will continue to rise, and he’ll be a huge star in five or ten years,” Peterson continued. “If a person is willing to preserve his Jeremy Lin Knicks jersey, he could really make out in the long run.”
In addition to offering a wide variety of basketball memorabilia, Collectible Supplies also offers baseball and football display cases, cards, and balls. Based in California, the retailer guarantees all products and ships all over the country. While there are no guarantees that the value of Lin memorabilia will increase going forward, many of the world’s collectible sports memorabilia.
