Green Bay Packer memorabilia is a must have for any sports enthusiast. The Green Bay Packers have one of the most storied stories in the entire NFL. A mere mention of the Packers brings up images of die-hard fans and sports legends playing infamous games that fans still love to remember today. I think it would be a rare occasion to go somewhere in WI and not see the famous “G” logo on clothing, hanging on bags or key chains, even license plates have the green and gold!
Packers art is everywhere!
Sports bars and restaurants are commonplace in every corner of America now and it’s not unusual to see Green Bay Packers art on the walls of these establishments, even outside of WI. I remember on a trip to CA, our family was in the Los Angeles airport lounge having a soda and looking at a beautiful piece of art by Ray Nitschke by sports artist Andy Goralski on the wall. Visit sports bars and restaurants from FL to CA and you’ll find Packers fans in every state. The far-reaching effects of this beloved team on the general public is a testament to the rich history and respect fans have for their beloved Green Bay Packers.
Invest in sports art
Sports art has become big business for many collectors. The secondary market can produce a good performance in sports art. Whether it’s from the athlete signature alone or from a combination of the artist and athlete signature, profits from reselling at the right time can be very lucrative. Naturally, a print that has sold out commands the highest prices. I know a guy who bought some extra copies, kept them for a while and resold them on the secondary market and used that money to take his family on a nice vacation!
WI Sports Artists
Andy Goralski is probably one of the Packers’ best-known sports artists. His works of his are seen across the state and across the nation! He has painted some of the Green Bay Packers greats including Vince Lombardi, Brett Farve, Reggie White, Ray Nitschke, LeRoy Butler, Bart Starr, Robert Brooks and now his new work ‘From Leather to Legendary’. You may have seen Andy Goralski as a featured artist at the Channel 10/36 auction over the years. If he attends any fundraisers, chances are he has seen his work at those auctions as well. Sports artist Andy Goralski has recently released his new painting of the original Acme Packers complete with their leather head helmets and the newly renovated legendary Lambeau Field directly behind Curly Lambeau’s Acme Packer’s.
