Using the below as an example, would a game scorecard (such as 2023 WS Game 5 shown here) be something you, as a fan might enjoy as a memorabilia item? Nice frame, behind glass, colorful matting, etc.

I think it tells a story, in a nostalgic sort of way, much more than a photo or an autograph or even just a line/box score. Curious...

There is probably a market for it.

I've kept score before, but most fans haven't... so probably a narrow market for it.

IMO, most memorabilia captures a moment and doesn't tell the story. Something like that would tell the story.

Evan Carter stuck out 4 times?! Yikes

Also interesting 18 out of the first 19 rangers that came up didn't reach first base.

I've seen scorecards like this being sold before. It doesn't do much for me, but like others have said, some would probably enjoy it.

I agree with this. I'm sure there are some people out there that would like it, but I don't think it's going to have the general appeal of a cool photo with an autograph or a jersey.

I second that. If it was a page from the official rangers score keeper? Interesting.

Rando that did it? Meh. I could do the same.

I keep score at most games I go to, and while that one is very neatly done, outside of it being my own scorecard - or the official scorers - I'd think it would be a very small market. One of my most treasured possessions is my 2016 World Series scorecard that I kept myself at Wrigley.....but I don't have it displayed anywhere .

Frankly, I can't imagine that was scored during the game. It's TOO neat.

Shoot, we were in Omaha and I had go to FIVE different places in the stadium before I could find someone who could tell me where to get a scorecard - because the first lady selling programs I talked to told me they didn't have a scorecard in them.

I normally keep score and have a few of my own framed from games I attended. Not sure I'd buy someone else's UNLESS it was like the official one.

This looks like a computer generated version. Doesn't appear hand written.

No offense to the OP but this looks something that would pop up on my Instagram feed.

yeah its not hand written, it is generated from play by play MLB data. The angle I was going is not that it was handwritten or not, but I get the point of it being handwritten makes it more authentic, but only if you knew who did it, or it was your own. I personally have seen plenty of handwritten scorecards and they are all sloppy.

Using MLB data, any game could be printed, framed, memorialized a variety of different ways and with quality - lots of games, lots of teams, lots of fans. There are some options here that might make it more appealing I am looking into. It captures the entire game, and there are stories and nuances that baseball fans might find appealing.

Appreciate the feedback.

I buy my fair share of sports memorabilia but 99% of the time its graded trading cards

It wouldn't be so obvious if the home runs weren't such perfect little black diamonds. That's the one thing that kind of bugs me. The super neat numerals aren't so bad. But if I were a Rangers fan I would think it's a pretty neat keepsake.
