A Calgary man is offering up some one-of-a-kind items for sports fans in search of something special.Beatty is a serious sports fan who’s spent the past 35 years amassing a huge array of sports memorabilia.Among the memorabilia for sale is a hockey stick signed by all members of the Stanley Cup-winning Calgary Flames team in 1989.
The collection also includes a Team Canada jersey signed by all of the players on the gold medal-winning men’s hockey team at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.“I’ve always been a collector by nature,” Beatty said. “Once I start collecting something, I kind of go overboard.”The sports memorabilia also includes signed pucks, baseball bats and balls, as well as signed framed photos of athletes involved in golf, boxing, football, basketball and car racing.
Beatty has often travelled in search of signatures, making trips with his wife to places like baseball spring training camps in Arizona and Florida.Beatty is selling off his memorabilia because he and his wife are downsizing to a home in which there’s no longer room for all of his items.Beatty said the decades he’s spent building up his collection have made for a rewarding hobby, with fond memories of meeting so many top-level sports stars.
