Sports Memorabilia Collection App
Vitrine is a sports memorabilia collection app for collectors of signed shirts, match programmes, autographs, and photographs. Record provenance, authentication certificates, and current value. Build a public showcase or keep it private. Free to start.
Why memorabilia collectors choose Vitrine
Provenance documentation gets lost
Where an item was obtained, who witnessed a signing, and what certificates exist can be difficult to reconstruct years later. Vitrine keeps this information permanently attached to each item.
Condition affects value significantly
A signed shirt in excellent condition with full provenance is worth far more than the same item without documentation. Vitrine lets you record condition and attach certificate scans so your records match the physical reality.
Insurance requires proper documentation
High-value signed items are expensive to replace and difficult to prove without records. Vitrine stores photos, valuations, and provenance information in one place.
Features for memorabilia collectors
Provenance and authentication records
Record where an item was obtained, authentication certificate numbers, and witnessed signing details. Critical for value and insurance.

Value tracking

Attach photos of the item, the signature, and any certificates. Multiple images per item.
