It all started in 1990, with the goal of personally obtaining autographs from Hall of Fame athletes and sharing our love for sports and sports memorabilia with the general public.

We would regularly attend games, sports card shows, Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies, and signing events up and down the east coast to personally have items signed by all the major sports athletes.

We eventually outgrew our original store, Sports Fanattic, and relocated to a larger space, renaming it to Sports Palace (shown above).

We were well-known throughout Massachusetts as one of the premiere sports memorabilia stores. Mostly because we had an “authentic guarantee” by obtaining the autographs ourselves.

Sports Palace closed in 1999, but we retained a large inventory of sports memorabilia. Fast forward to 2024, and we are ready to do it again, only this time we are trading in the snow and ice for sunshine and palm trees.

Welcome to Sports Palace Florida!
