You can find treasure wherever you are. I’m skiing this weekend, and this means I should be looking for some treasures in this area. Just count the items that might be collected if you are a ski fanatic.
How many different type of skis have there? Trick skis, jumping skis, and trail skis just to mention a few. If you find these special skis signed by a skiing legend it might well be a true treasure. Now let’s look at a few other items of interest. How about clothing worn by someone such as a movie star or President. These could bring a great deal of money.
Examples of the first wares worn by the pioneers of skiing should prove to be quiet rewarding. How about the different trends that have occurred over the years and some of those strange ski outfits that have appeared on the scene over the years. You know they will make a come back.
Ski medals and trophies should be in great demand, if they were won by a person of distinction. Posters and other paper items listing special event in ski history can be added to any collection owned by the avid collector, and their value will be greatly enhanced if signed. Signed photos of the rich and famous, such as Jacqueline Kennedy in a ski outfit signed by her could bring a good price.
You are probably asking what about the Olympics and all the treasures that can be found that pertain to Olympic Skiing. There have been thousands of events and tens of thousands of contestants.
Skiing has a long history and ski's were used for purposes other than pleasure. Vintageskiworld.com has 1958 U.S. Military Ski's selling for $295. Not only might these appeal to collectors of ski memorabilia, but those collecting military memorabilia as well.
By looking at other's interests, you will find that the list of items people collect is larger than your mind can comprehend. The interesting fact about buying items that others might have interest in is that it makes you a much more informed and well rounded individual. One of the greatest results of this is that your bank account will grow while you're learning, and you will be spending your time with some of the greatest and most interesting people in the world.

Daryle, thanks for the tips on ski collectible treasures. Here is something some of the readers may find worthwhile for disposing of boxes of not-so-valuable ski equipment and clothes they may pick up at yard sales for next to nothing over the year. Locate a ski club and turn everything over to them to be sold at their next swap meet. The club volunteers will efficiently handle all aspects of advertising, pricing and selling. After they deduct their cut (typically a third) your check is mailed to you.
