Here I have a fantastic signed 1966 England World Cup Winners replica shirt, beautifully framed. Comes complete with the Certificate of Authenticity too, confirming the autographs are genuine. Measures 900mm x 700mm.
With the World Cup now behind us, and this year being the 60th Anniversary since England last won the competition - this would make a fantastic birthday present, man cave trophy, or simply mounted in your living room and be the envy of your friends whilst watching the games at home. Probably being knocked out by penalties, or a freak one-in-a-million goal that we’ll be talking about until the next millennium, moaning how we were robbed……..
As can be clearly seen on the inset mount, detailing that this is signed by 9 of the players. Gordon Banks, George Cohen, Ray Wilson, Alan Ball, Nobby Stiles, Jack Charlton, Roger Hunt, Martin Peters, and Geoff Hurst, who sadly is the only surviving player today. Therefore I’m fairly sure that this will make for a bomb-proof investment in the future.
These were auctioned and issued as raffle prizes for charity and sold by the music chain “Our Price” in the 90’s and early noughties as my COA shows. The chain of shops finally went into liquidation and closed its doors for the last time in 2004, inevitably due to the downturn in music sales - different formats arriving, streaming etc. Hence I assume, their move into celebrity autographs, to help bolster the business - but was seemingly too little, too late to save them.
At the time of writing this advert, there are currently 5 identical ones (same shirt, same frame, same COA) listed for sale here on eBay, that were also sold or issued by “Our Price.” Of the 5 listed, one has a price tag of over £5000, another at almost £3000 and another at just over £2000. The cheapest one listed here at £1200, doesn’t have the COA. I’m a realist, and understand that some of these are advertised at telephone numbers. That said, I’m not going to give it away either. Yes, there are cheaper ones out there, but they are either unframed, look like they’ve been glued into an IKEA special, and either have no COA or one that came from “Fred in the Shed Ltd.” You pays your money, you take your choice, as they say……….
***Please note*** Collection is very welcome, and also my preferred method. If you opt for this, then direct bank transfer of funds will be my ONLY accepted method of payment. I will not post this abroad under any circumstances. Non- paying buyers will be also be reported. So get permission from her indoors first to check that you’re allowed to buy it. Deep down, we all know they’re the boss………
This will be posted via Royal Mail Special Delivery. Compared to other companies, they are fantastic and will not try to fold it through your letterbox, kick it under your garage door, or leave it in full view on your doorstep as your “safe place” for the local scooter riding, hooded rats to steal. Will be packaged very well, with additional corner protection to ensure it reaches you in the same fantastic condition it left me. After all, I want you to be as happy with it as I have been.
If you’ve got this far and are still awake - thanks. Finally………Freddie & The Dreamers, and ejits, asking “what’s your best price?” Or “Will you ship to Nigeria?” etc, etc - please keep clear. Anyone else with sensible questions - please feel free to get in touch. Thank you. 👍🏼
