Launching soon
A family-run shop for people who want the real thing on their wall without paying auction-house money for it. We're not open yet — leave your email and we'll tell you the day we are.
Why Panda
Three things we intend to get right
We're collectors before we're a shop. That's going to shape what we stock, how we check it, and what we charge for it.
-
Say what a piece actually is
We won't write our own certificates — paperwork from the person selling you the item is worth very little, and that's half of what's wrong with this market. Every listing will state exactly what documentation a piece carries, including when the answer is “none”.
-
Stock a collection worth browsing
Signed jerseys, balls, trading cards, game-used gear and photography, across the sports people actually follow. Rookie cards and modest signed pieces alongside the headline items, because a collection has to start somewhere.
-
Price it for fans
No buyer's premium, no auction fees, no inflated “estimate” to negotiate down from. The price on the listing will be the price you pay, and we'll keep our margin tight because we'd rather sell a piece to someone who'll display it.
How it will work
Three steps, every item
Nothing complicated. It just gets done the same way every time.
-
1
Sourced
Stock comes through established auction houses and dealers in the memorabilia trade — not from a supplier we've never met and a photograph we didn't take.
-
2
Checked
Every item arrives with us first. We check the piece against whatever documentation came with it, and against the condition we're about to describe. Nothing is drop-shipped.
-
3
Listed
Real photographs, a plain statement of what the piece carries, and one price with nothing added at checkout.
The shop
What we'll be stocking
Five categories at launch. Inventory goes up as it clears the bench — there's nothing to browse yet, and we'd rather show you nothing than show you a mock-up.
- Signed jerseysGame-worn and replica, signed
- BallsMatch balls and inscribed singles
- Trading cardsGraded, slabbed and raw
- Game-used gearBats, gloves, boots, helmets
- PhotographySigned, matted and framed
Who we are
Family run
Four of us run Panda. Email us at info@pandasportscollectibles.com with any question — you'll get one of the people whose name is on the shop, not a support queue.

Opening day
Know before everyone else
We haven't set a date yet. When we do, subscribers hear first — and they get first look at the opening stock before it goes up publicly. That's all we'll use your address for.
