Dogtown Sports Collectibles & Framing

Dogtown Sports Collectibles & Framing is a family-owned sports memorabilia, custom framing and laser engraving shop at 6410 Wise Avenue in the Dogtown neighborhood of St Louis, Missouri. It is a memorabilia and framing shop first, with sports cards as one part of the stock, so it suits collectors who want a signed photo, a baseball or a puck and want it framed properly in the same stop.

What's on the shelves

The stock leans toward St Louis Cardinals and St Louis Blues memorabilia. The shop carries autographed and authenticated photographs, canvases, sports equipment, baseballs, pucks and more, alongside sports cards. Inventory turns over as new items come in, and the shop will help track down a specific piece a collector is looking for.

Signed prints are a regular feature. Recent examples are 11x14 prints of Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina from his 2000th game, signed in white paint pen. One sells unframed at $325. Another, authenticated by JSA, comes framed in gray suede matting with a red and black frame and UV glass for $429.

The shop also sells gifts, including a gifts-under-$100 category, and takes on fundraising projects. Free shipping applies to selected items.

Custom framing and engraving

Framing is the other half of the business. The shop specializes in affordable custom framing of sports and other memorabilia, using mat cutting equipment and a Made in the USA Epilog laser engraver as part of the process. The engraver also produces laser-engraved signs, so a framed jersey, ticket or autographed photo can carry an engraved plate or detail that fits the piece. For anyone holding a signed item that deserves better than a drugstore frame, this is the draw.

History

The family has been collecting sports memorabilia since 1978, and the shop grew out of that. It is family owned and operated, and it sits in the Lehman Building on Wise Avenue.
