Recently noticed alot of various trophies available at thrift and consignment shops within my urban area and [URL removed] why?
- Do people reuse them by removing the engraving?
- Are trophies recyclable?
- Do people replace the topper or the base portion of a trophy?
- Are they just a collectible?
- Or are they just something vintage to have?
….Any input from the CHAMPS is kindly appreciated.

Back when my son and I were showing rabbits the rabbit clubs would ask that we donate any unwanted trophies. This would save them considerable money as they didn’t have recipients names engraved, just the class and prize. If wanted they could replace just the engraved plate if needed.
However, there does seem to be a small market for the really old loving cups from what I have seen. I don’t know who buys them but some seem to be a bit pricey. The ones I have seen have had very old dates and usually better metal. If you want to see what is collectible do a google search and see what turns up.

Yup…an engraver can attach a new copper plate.

Gee, I have an attic full of dance trophies my daughter decided she didn’t want in her room anymore. I can’t believe they have any value beyond her memory.
Sorry for the non-answer.
