1926 Hockey Book of Champions Pictorial
Our oldest find was this 1926 extremely rare book. Listed on UsedVictoria.com, the Hockey Book of Champions includes virtually every Stanley Cup Champion from 1893/94 through to 1924/25, Memorial Cup Champs, Olympics winners, Collegiate Champs, Allan Cup Champs, Pacific Coast Champs, Women’s hockey and more. Great find for the hockey fanatic.
Skating Barbie and Fire and Ice Barbie
Don’t ever let it be said that the items on our sites are not eclectic. First we bring you vintage sports books, then we throw in a couple of Barbies. UsedRegina.com is currently home to the 2002 winter Olympics Fire and Ice Barbie, whilst UsedVancouver.com lists the 1988 Calgary Olympics Skating Barbie. For all you would-be Barbie collectors, don’t be ashamed. Our sites are completely anonymous!
Sochi 2014 Purse
A nice piece of memorabilia at a nice price. This Sochi 2014 purse is listed on UsedVancouver.com for just $10 and it is perfect for slinging over your shoulder on Olympics party night.
Olympics Bobbleheads
We found more than one set of Olympics Bobbleheads. Nanaimo and Regina you will be pleased to know that you are the lucky cities that have them listed. These 2002 Bobble Dobbles on UsedNanaimo.com are Olympic team members, Brodeur, Lemieux, and Sakic. Regina yours too are 2002 team members, but this time Foote and Blake. Remember when bobbleheads were the coolest thing ever? Hard to believe the 1990s are now retro!
Kraft Jello Team Canada Sticker Set
Want an Olympic hockey memorabilia but can’t stand the thought of torturing your bobblehead dachshund with competition? These Olympic hockey stickers from 97/98 on UsedOttawa.com should be framed!
Vintage Snowmobile
Just one glance at this vintage snowmobile can tell you it’s a 1970s’ design. As the seller on UsedPEI.com says, his loss is your gain. He even provided you with a photo of what your skidoo could look like were you to completely restore this piece. This is a real collector’s item. It’s not necessarily Olympics memorabilia as such but it’s too cool not to list. Do the right thing PEI, grab this while you can!
Royal Doulton 1984 Olympic Plates
There is a lot of Olympics memorabilia in Victoria! So many glasses you could open a bar and enough pins to build a pin house, but these 1984 Olympic plates are pretty special. Collectible and cool, put them on your wall in true 80s’ fashion. Only 1000 of these plates were made and they are in pristine condition; a small slice of history.
If you have Olympics memorabilia you wish to sell, now is the time as it’s topical and people are keen to buy. Do your research, price competitively and you should have a sale in no time.

Hi
I have a one off bronze plaque that was presented as a gift to the London 2012 Olympic committee by the Israeli government as a gift to commemorate their participation in both the 2012 Olympics and paralympics. All countries gave these gifts. At the conclusion of the games, some staff were given raffle tickets that matched these gifts. I was lucky enough to win the above specially commissioned Israeli bronze gift. I am now movingoing, and need to downsize my belongings. I am thinking of auctioning the bronze. Do you have any contacts that may be interested?
Regards

Hi Mike, our advice would be to put a listing on your local UsedEverywhere.com site at the highest price you would be willing to take and negotiate from there. Good luck with the move! Amber

Alaudin Cerimovic
I have a 1984 Sarajevo winter Olympic leather gloves with the emblem on it made from novahide … I’ve tried to see if any other gloves were out there no non I’m wondering what are they worth
UsedHQ
Hey Alaudin! Your gloves sound super interesting, but you’re right, I don’t seem to be able to find anything comparable on our site, or anywhere else on the internet in all honesty! What I did fine, however, was some different websites that will appraise items for you if you’re unsure of their worth! I would check out the Google results for “memorabilia appraisal” as it will give you any local options near you as well as other online appraisers! Good luck with your item and have a great day! – Jess at Used.ca

Hi Bob! Sorry for the delay on our reply! I have checked around and can’t seem to find anywhere locally that does appraisals for items such as your’s. However, I did find an online service at valuemystuff.com that may be of use to you! Hope that helps!
