2.  What are the advantages of using Global Sports Memorabilia?

Global Sports Memorabilia is the best in the sports framing and sports photography industry.  Our combination of materials, standards, and designs are at the top of the industry.  

The materials we use ensure you receive the very best product on the market and our membership with the Professional Picture Framers Association and Photo Marketing Association guarantees the best standards.  We are also up to date with the latest designs and developments in sports framed and photography memorabilia.  

Global Sports Memorabilia is known for our dedication to professionalism, great service and extensive selection of framed sports memorabilia and photography.  We are fast becoming the best in the sports industry throughout North America.

 

3.  Do your high quality products cost more?

Our products are listed at very competitive prices.  Some product prices are less than our competitors and some may appear to be more.  You must keep in mind the quality of the merchandise.  Many of our competitors use low quality mats, cheap contract framing glass or plastic, and frame stock that is low grade.  The result is merchandise that needs repair within a short period of time.  Our competitors merchandise may have a much shorter life span due to low grade materials used in the framing process.  Our product uses acid free materials from Bainbridge ensuring the merchandise will still look great in the many years to come. 

At Global Sports Memorabilia, we only use the best products in all our merchandise including Bainbridge Archival Matboard, Tru Vue premium glass, and a selection of 2250 frames including Renaissance and Nurre Caxton.  We also custom manufacture our own line of black ash solid wood frame mouldings, something that is unheard of in the sports framing industry.  This ensures the highest quality you have come to know from Global Sports Memorabilia.  In fact, the materials we use can be found at your local retail certified professional custom picture framing store or any fine art gallery (of course, with the exception of our own custom mouldings).  The difference, our volume discounts are passed on to you resulting in unbelievable merchandise at a fraction of the price.  

If you are looking for the cheapest product, we are probably not the best choice for you.  If you are looking for exceptional merchandise at a great price, look no further.

 

4.  Will my merchandise be customized for my team organization?

Yes.  When you become a client of Global Sports Memorabilia, you will meet with one of our custom framing designers for a free consultation.  At this time, you can study several of our Series Samples and review our general price guides.  Whether you choose limited edition merchandise, special event gifts, or retail distribution merchandise, we have the ability to design and develop merchandise specifically for your team.  On a daily basis, our well-trained staff helps customers like you select the custom framing option that works for their organization, within their budget.  Because our designers are in constant training, they are familiar with our large inventory of frames, mats and glass.  They can help you select the right finishing touches for your framing project. 

Once the initial consultation is complete, the team at Global Sports Memorabilia will create several prototypes.  When the prototypes are complete, we will arrange for a second meeting with you.  At this time, you will be able change the layout, mix and match, re-create, or make any other changes you feel are important.  You can have as much or as little input as you like, depending on your level of comfort.  Our goal is to create a framed sports product that you are 100% satisfied with.  

After the second meeting, we will make a final proof.  This proof will be sent to you for final acceptance.  After final acceptance, your custom framing order goes to our centralized production center, where our framers will process your order with the greatest attention to detail.  Global Sports Memorabilia's framers are trained to ensure that your custom framing project will be finished in a timely manner, with the same high-quality service you experience from any fine art gallery.

5.  Do you have minimum purchase requirements?

Yes, for retailers, your first order has a minimum of $200.  Once that is complete, you can order one frame or several thousand.  It makes no difference to us.  For team photography, we have no limits.  The only ongoing requirement we do have are custom commemorative coins.  When we make a commemorative coin for your team or organization, a minimum of 500 coins are required for the initial order and 250 for each subsequent order.
