At First Place Collectibles, we want to be your first choice for custom, premium awards and player honors like championship rings, finish line medals, challenge coins, team trading pins and more.

 

There are no off-the-shelf solutions here. Everything we create is custom designed just for you. We work hand in hand with each client to deliver a unique collectible that celebrates your vision.

 

Our team was raised in brand marketing and product design. Our designers mix the secret sauce. We understand the power of aesthetics to garner excitement, and we believe our creative process makes all the difference. Our people are just a call, text or email away. We’re always here to help. The project is not complete until every detail is accounted, every unit is delivered and every client is happy. We appreciate the opportunity.

 

We proudly serve the youth sports market, support local organizations and create custom collectibles that ensure your memories will stand the test of time.

 

Everything we produce is priced to deliver. From concept and design to shipping and delivery,  the price we quote is the price you pay,  door to door.

 

Let us put our experience to work for you,  so you can focus on making your seasons, tournaments and events as successful and memorable as possible. We appreciate the chance to earn your business.
