With autumn and shortly after winter coming up it will be ice skating season sooner than later and our kids will need a new pair of toddler ice skates. Every year their skates fit for just one season because their feet are pretty much ever grwoing from tiny to not so tiny anymore to … their father´s seize?! I dread the buy of new pairs every single year because it is mostly me who is tasked with taking our little ones and head to a shop.

Toddler ice skates is nothing you can just go and buy in a Wall Mart or shop like this. You need to have your kid with you so that it can try them on. There are specific requirements that need to be met in order to ensure that they will sit comfortably and last the entire seson. We are talking about features such as heel hold, toe room and also about the material the shell is made of.

Bindings are another relevant factor. Modern skates often times have a buckle and snap system that can be very convenient to have.



Our family though is more on the old fashioned side and especially my husband insists that our kids should learn how to properly tie ths skate laces. He argues that this has bee done by skaters all over the planet, from those who enjoy skating in the wildernes on a frozen lake to olympic figurine skaters. So, why not our children?! This is one of the points that I can totally agree on with him.

Where our opinion seriusly differs though is when it comes to the type of skates to buy. He wants that both our boy and our little girl wear hockey skates. But hockey skates for a little girl? I am inclined to see her in figurine skates which are not only less heavy but are also way more suitable for a girl. She is the adorable princess type of girl and alsways wants to look cute just like the Disney characters she adores at a time. She likes delicate things. You want to meet what your children like with logic, common sense and what is practical. I simply do not see her ending up as an ice hockey player somewhere in the national league one day.
With this argument in mind I bundled them up the other day and we drove to a sports equipment shop across town.

It was a great if unexpected experience and the dreaded shoping turned out to be rather delightful. We were not the only ones preparing for the upcoming season on the ice rink and I found myself immersed in a passionate discussion with 3 other mothers on the subject while my kids were trying on children´s skates, discarding them, pulling out another pair, comparing them with their new friends and basically went through most every pair for sale in the shop.

Collecting sports collectibles or sports memorabilia, antique or modern, is limited by two factors: the money available and the space to be filled. Having determined these basic essentials, it is then a personal matter. The taste of the collector may lead to Baseball Memorabilia, Basketball Memorabilia, Football Memorabilia, Golf Memorabilia, NASCAR memorabilia, Diecast Collectibles, Bobble Heads, Hero Posters, or innumerable other things. The lucky acquisition of an admired piece may lead to a determination to get more of the same, or at least to find out what the admiration is all about.

An encyclopedia definition of Sports Collecting would go something like this: “The hobby of sports collecting consists of acquiring specific sports items based on a particular sporting interest of the sports collector. These sports collections of sporting things are often highly organized, carefully cataloged, and attractively displayed.” A sports collectible (or collectable) is defined as a manufactured item designed for people interested in sports to collect. The term sports memorabilia usually refers to items related to sporting that can be directly connected to a recent or historical sporting event or sports personality. There are many people that collect these sports memorabilia and collectibles.

Since collecting depends on the interests of the individual collector, it may deal with almost any subject including sports collectible & sports memorabilia. The depth and breadth of the collection may also vary. Some collectors choose to focus on a specific subtopic within their area of general interest, for example Baseball memorabilia of the New York Yankees, Basketball memorabilia of the Los Angeles Lakers, Football memorabilia of the Dallas Cowboys, Golf memorabilia of Tiger Woods, NASCAR memorabilia of Tony Stewart, Diecast collectibles of fire trucks, Bobble Heads for any sport, & posters of heroes such as Lance Armstrong. Others prefer to keep a more general collection, accumulating any or all Baseball memorabilia, Basketball memorabilia, Football memorabilia, Golf memorabilia, NASCAR memorabilia, Diecast collectibles, Bobble Heads, or Hero Posters.



When the NBA, MLB, and NFL began selling their basketball, baseball, and football jerseys in stores during the 1980s, game used jerseys also became a hot item among sports memorabilia collectors. Former NBA player Dennis Rodman was famous for taking off his jerseys and throwing them to the stands after his games were over. Michael Jordan is probably the basketball player whose memorabilia is most sought after by collectors. Today’s stars include Ben Roethlisberger, Shaquille O’Neil, Nomar Garciaparra, etc. These players seem to be pushing the already popular area of sports collectibles and memorabilia to a new level of acceptance to the public.

Collections can take the form of a single item such as a signed baseball, football, or basketball. Collections can also take the form of a series of items, such as jerseys from each member of a particular baseball, basketball, or football team. A NASCAR collection of hats from different drivers is very popular. Golf balls with different logos are especially popular. The cost of any sports collectible memorabilia item is directly proportional to the popularity of the sports figure with which the item correlates. The more popular the sports figure, the more money the sports collectible memorabilia item will demand. The whole sports collectible memorabilia industry is driven by supply and demand. The more demand the higher the price and vice versa. Also, the more supply of an item, the lower the price. Sports cards would be a good example. Only so many of certain cards were ever made. Those carry a higher price than those that were made in bulk. Quality is a very big determining factor in the price of any sports collectible memorabilia item. In general, the better the quality, the higher the price.

“To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.”
