Memorabilia is a souvenir, memento or keepsake, meant to bring back memories associated with it. The value of Baseball Memorabilia is added as the memories associated with it, is in demand, and then becomes a collectible. The collectible value will rise and fall depending on the supply on the market, and the demand for it. Low supply, and high demand will result in a higher value.

A 2008 Philadelphia Phillies Team Signed Bat is not only a new piece of memorabilia, the memories associated with it are still in progress. Currently the value of a 2008 Philadelphia Phillies Team Signed Bat is about $500. - $1,000. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the Bat with key signatures the more valuable. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

If the Philadelphia Phillies win the World Series this price will rise overnight. The "I gotta have it" factor kicks in, and like most memorabilia that first hits the market the value will be inflated until everyone that wants one has one. As time goes on more 2008 Philadelphia Phillies team signed bats will be produced to meet the demand on the market, and as collectors fill their needs the value will drop.

The value will level out within the next 5 years, and only time will tell if this value will rise or fall as new collectors enter the market, how much the demand is, and how many are available on the market. The demand will be effected by the historic value of the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies, and the memories associated with it.
