How it all Began
About
Years ago I had collected MLS memorabilia. All of it purchased, I’d never been giving anything from players. But after having kids and in a need to fund my new business I was starting, I sold off my collection and thought that I was done collecting. “That was that,” I thought.
But then a few years ago that all changed. One of my favorite players, Andre Blake played here in Dallas and gave me a pair of his gloves (the same model I use when I play GK) after the game. The rest was history. Both myself and my bank account would never be the same again. I became obsessed with collecting pieces from the league that I watch week in and week out. My league.
One thing that’s always bothered me is the poopoo-ing people tend to do on MLS. The quality is way up in this league (believe me, I’ve been watching it since the early 2000s). But most importantly, it’s the league in our country. We can have actual meaningful connections to clubs local to us, and not to teams halfway around the world.
These players get to go out and represent their city and their fans, a true extension of their regions culture. I for one am proud to have a leauge to call my own. One in which parity reigns and in which each season is a fresh start where any club might actually be able to win the MLS Cup. What could be better than that.
Every jersey, cleat, glove, shin guard, etc on this site are all game used. I do not collect non game used memorabilia. So take a look around and enjoy these treasured pieces of history. I hope they can bring you half the joy that they bring me.
***Please note, anything that I have been given directly by a player will ever be sold or traded. That will be noted in the piece. I do get emails from time to time asking about the availability of pieces, and I’m not opposed to moving some of these. But, if it’s been noted as having been given to me by the player himself, dont waste your time asking.
