If you’ve ever wandered into Costco for “just a few things” and ended up with a cart full of items you didn’t know you needed (hello, 30-pack of muffins), then get ready — this week’s Costco finds might just blow your mind.
Forget bulk paper towels and gallon-sized jars of pickles; we’re talking sports memorabilia that’ll let you transform your home office into a mini sports museum. From legendary jerseys to game-used bats, Costco has somehow managed to throw the ultimate touchdown in the memorabilia department.
Whether you’re a diehard fan of the 49ers or still trying to explain to your significant other why you need a crystal-embellished helmet, these picks are the perfect excuse to dive headfirst into Costco’s unexpectedly fancy side.
1. Joe Montana Autographed San Francisco 49ers Framed Red Jersey
Calling all 49ers fans (or anyone who enjoys greatness)! This framed Joe Montana jersey is as iconic as his legendary Super Bowl wins. Measuring an impressive 31″ x 36″, it’s big enough to turn your man cave into a mini Hall of Fame.
Plus, it’s Beckett authenticated, so you know it’s legit, and the frame comes as part of the deal — no need to fumble with a DIY framing job. At $449.99, this is a steal for a piece of football history considering a similar signed jersey is listed for about $350 more elsewhere.
2. Ken Griffey Jr. Autographed Black Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat
If you’ve ever wanted to swing for the fences like “The Kid,” now’s your chance. This Ken Griffey Jr. autographed Louisville Slugger isn’t just any bat — it’s the bat. Beckett authentication keeps things above board, so no worries about counterfeits.
Plus, it comes with a sleek wall mount, so you can proudly display it in your home office or game room. Whether you’re a Mariners superfan or just love Griffey’s effortless swing, this bat is a home run at $449.99. That’s $120 less than a similar listing on a sporting memorabilia website.
3. Joe Burrow Autographed 2022 Cincinnati Bengals Alternate Helmet
Who knew helmets could be this fancy? This Joe Burrow-signed, crystal-embellished Riddell Speed Authentic Helmet is basically the Lamborghini of sports memorabilia. Limited to a one-of-one edition and featuring hand-painted art by Charles Fazzino, this helmet is as much a work of art as it is a tribute to Burrow’s rise to NFL stardom.
Sure, the $6,499.99 price tag is hefty, but think of it as an investment — both in Burrow’s future career and in your collection. Plus, it’s listed for $7,999.99 on other websites. Nothing says “I’m a loyal fan” quite like a crystal-encrusted helmet in your living room.
4. Elly De La Cruz Autographed 2022 Bowman Rookie Card
For those who like their collectibles small but mighty, this Elly De La Cruz Bowman rookie card could be your jam. With a Gem Mint 10 grading from Beckett and De La Cruz’s full name elegantly signed, this card might be tiny, but it packs a punch. It’s encapsulated in a tamper-proof holder and comes with a display stand, so you can showcase it like the prized possession it is.
At $239.99 (it’s listed for $269.99 on another collector website), it’s the perfect starter piece for collectors or a great addition to any Reds fan’s growing memorabilia collection. Elly De La Cruz is one to watch, and this card gives you a chance to get in on the ground floor — without breaking the bank.
5. Stephen Curry Autographed Framed Yellow Nike Swingman Warriors Jersey
Want to feel like a splash brother? Then hang this autographed Stephen Curry jersey in your home and channel the sharpshooter vibes. Signed by the man himself and framed to perfection (no framing headaches here), this bright yellow Nike Swingman jersey is ready to become the centerpiece of your sports shrine.
Measuring 31″ x 36″, it’ll dominate any wall. At $999.99, it might be a bit of a splurge but just remember: hanging it up won’t make you shoot like Steph, but it’ll definitely make you feel like it. Plus, it’s $300 cheaper than other listings.
These Costco finds prove that you don’t have to break the bank (well, maybe a little) to own a piece of sports history. Whether you’re building a shrine to your favorite athletes or just want a cool conversation starter, this week’s lineup is a slam dunk. Ready to add one — or all — of these to your cart? Costco’s got you covered, as always.
