In a move that has sports collectors buzzing coast to coast, a rare and limited release of autographed memorabilia featuring two iconic American sports figures—Pat McAfee and Jerry West—is making waves online and in private collectors’ circles. With authentication by JSA and Beckett, two of the most trusted names in sports memorabilia certification, these items are being offered at jaw-droppingly accessible prices: $125 for the Pat McAfee signed WWE photo and $90 per signed Jerry West photo.
This unexpected but highly welcomed drop is being hailed as one of the most collector-friendly opportunities of the year. According to insiders, the items come from a private signing arrangement coordinated earlier this spring and are being sold directly to fans and collectors, bypassing the markup-heavy resell marketplace.
The WWE Star Turned Multimedia Sensation
Pat McAfee, former NFL punter turned electrifying sports commentator, podcaster, and WWE performer, has carved out one of the most unique careers in modern sports media. His signature energy and larger-than-life persona have made him a cult favorite not only in football circles but across the entertainment spectrum.
The signed WWE photo showcases McAfee in one of his most iconic wrestling moments—leaping from the top rope with a triumphant smirk and full intensity in his eyes. It’s a snapshot that captures the heart of his unpredictable career transition and his unrelenting drive to entertain.
According to those close to the promotion, only a limited batch of McAfee WWE photos were signed during a private session in early May, and each comes with either a JSA or Beckett sticker and certificate of authenticity. At $125, collectors are calling this “an absolute steal.”
Jerry West: The Legend Behind the Logo
Then there’s Jerry West—the very silhouette of basketball greatness. A Hall of Famer, 14-time NBA All-Star, and the man many consider the architect of modern front office brilliance, West’s legacy stretches well beyond his playing years. Whether it’s as a player for the Los Angeles Lakers or as an executive helping shape championship teams with the Warriors, Grizzlies, and Clippers, his impact on basketball is nearly unmatched.
The photos currently being offered for $90 each depict West in his prime—graceful, poised, mid-jump shot in full classic Lakers uniform. The signature, bold and unmistakable, is neatly placed in metallic silver ink, a clean contrast that makes the autograph pop against the vintage black-and-white image.
Each Jerry West photo also comes with JSA or Beckett certification, ensuring 100% authenticity for even the most discerning collector.
The Real Value? Verified Authenticity
What makes this release truly special is the certification. JSA (James Spence Authentication) and Beckett Authentication Services are revered throughout the memorabilia world. Their tamper-proof holograms and database tracking make it easy for buyers to verify the legitimacy of each signature, reducing the fear of counterfeits that plague many secondary markets.
“Whenever I see JSA or Beckett on a piece, it’s like gold,” says Andre Talbot, a veteran memorabilia collector from Pittsburgh. “It’s peace of mind. You know you’re getting the real deal.”
Shipping Made Easy
All orders ship for a flat $6 fee, which includes full tracking. This added transparency is just another reason fans are jumping on the opportunity—especially given how volatile the collector’s market has become in recent years.
A Collector’s Friday Treat
As one social media post teased:
“Pat McAfee signed WWE photo $125. Jerry West signed pics $90 per. All JSA or Beckett certified. Shipping is $6 with tracking. Happy Friday!!! – JP”
And just like that, the message spread like wildfire.
For seasoned memorabilia collectors or sports fans just beginning to build their autograph wall, this is more than a deal—it’s a golden opportunity. Given the credibility, the value, and the cultural relevance of both athletes, these signed photos are expected to sell out fast.
One thing’s for certain: Friday just got a whole lot happier for fans of Pat McAfee, Jerry West, and authenticated sports greatness.
