Look for sports memorabilia in The Locker Room Barbara Christiansen NORTH COUNTY STAFF The Locker Room, Sports Cards and Memorabilia opened its doors in American Fork last month. Run by brothers Travis and Ryan Briggs, the store offers both standard and autographed au-tographed sports cards singly, sin-gly, in packs, by the box or by the case. "We carry all lines of cards," Travis Briggs said. "The most well-known are Upper Up-per Deck, Topps and Donrus, but we also have others." The store also has many types of memorabilia and other oth-er collectible items. There are autographed baseballs, basketballs bas-ketballs and footballs. Signed and unsigned jerseys and hats line the walls. There are all kinds of photos and posters of sports figures, even parquet flooring pieces which have been autographed. There are action figures by McFarlane and bobbleheads. The brothers both played sports in high school and in college in California and Colorado. In high school, one of Travis Briggs's teammates was Don McLean, who became be-came UCLA's leading scorer. He is now an announcer. With that and other contacts, con-tacts, they are able to obtain autographs from major players. play-ers. The items come with a sticker and card, verifying their authenticity. Travis Briggs said his wife travels for her business and he goes along. "We go to ball games all over the U.S.," he said. "We get stuff from different arenas all over." In addition, they go to Arizona Ari-zona where 12 major league teams have their spring training. train-ing. Travis Briggs explained the difference between the cards they carry compared to regular regu-lar retail stores. "They have hobby boxes and retail boxes," he said. "Hobby boxes can only be bought by a hobby store. They have many more of the relic cards than the retail store." Those relic cards include not only players' autographs, but may include pieces of their jerseys, shorts, T-shirts or hats, or may have pieces of game-used bats or bases. One of their major focus teams is the Utah Jazz and they like to carry a lot of items which represent them. "The Utah Jazz are our main focus," Travis Briggs said. "They are the main professional profes-sional sports team in Utah and the fans have a connection with them." It's not for sale, but there is even a shoe on display that has the autographs of some of the Jazz players. Another display shows vintage baseball and boxing gloves. The Locker Room can contact con-tact other stores and obtain special requests. "We are networking with other memorabilia stores and distributors across the country coun-try and we can get just about anything," Travis Briggs said. There is something for everyone, ev-eryone, whether it is a case of Upper Deck Ultimate cards which sells for $1,500 or a single card which sells for a dime. Both brothers collected those cards when they were kids. "I wish we had kept them all," Travis Briggs said. "We probably lost tons and used to play with them. We didn't keep them in very good shape."
