Boise State University sells a game-used piece of their iconic blue turf for $25,000 π
Former athletic director Gene Bleymaier made the decision to transition to a blue field 40 years ago, and it has since become one of the most recognizable fields in college football.
Now, as the program transitions into a new conference, they are selling some of the field to fund player support and upgrades.
For $25,000, the winner receives a 400-square-foot sheet professionally installed in their home.

The rise of Caitlin Clark isnβt just changing basketball, itβs reshaping the entire collectibles market, especially in womenβs sports.
Whatβs Happening:
Her rookie cards and signed memorabilia are selling at record-breaking prices.
Demand for womenβs basketball collectibles has skyrocketed across platforms like eBay. Brands and collectors are treating womenβs sports memorabilia as long-term investment pieces, not niche items
Why This Matters:
This isnβt a moment, itβs a shift.
For years, collectibles were dominated by menβs leagues. Now:
Womenβs sports are becoming premium collectible categories
College athletes (especially NIL-era stars) are entering the memorabilia space earlier. Fans are connecting emotionally and financially at a deeper level.

The 2026 Masters Tournament is generating a massive $70M in merchandise sales with fans spending $277 per second on collectibles!
One item in particular is going crazy: the Masters gnome!! Itβs a limited-edition collectible that sells for $60 retail and resells for $1,000+ (and even thousands).
They say it might be discontinued after 2026, driving hype even higher.
Translation: scarcity + exclusivity = explosive collectible demand.
This is the psychology behind CollectU. We partner to create pieces of iconic history that no one else has. Adding incredible value to each collectible.
