Are the shirts really hand-signed and authentic?
Yes, all our shirts are genuinely hand-signed and include a Certificate of Authenticity from respected third-party authenticators like Beckett, PSA/DNA, or other trusted partners. Each item has a unique serial number for easy verification. Some shirts come with a signing photo, others are checked for authenticity by reputable experts, and sometimes additional details such as the signing date and location are provided. We also regularly organize our own signing sessions with players.
For more detailed information about our authentication process and the various certificates and partners we work with, please check our Authentication & Certification info page.
How do I verify the authenticity of my shirt?
You’ll find a unique serial number on your shirt and/or its certificate. Enter this number on the authenticator’s website to check your item’s authenticity. If you need assistance, we’re here to help.
Will I receive a signing photo or extra proof?
Not all shirts include a signing photo due to image rights. For some items, a signing photo is shown with the product, while for others a photo can be requested separately. In some cases, unfortunately, no signing photo is available. If having extra proof is important for you, please contact us about the specific shirt you’re interested in, we’re happy to clarify what’s possible.
What types of shirts do you offer? Are they all originals?
We offer both original shirts from the year of issue as well as official replicas from specific years or recent releases. If a shirt is an original, this will be clearly mentioned on the product page. Originals usually carry a higher price. Still unsure or have questions? Feel free to contact us for details about a specific shirt.
Why do prices vary so much between shirts?
The price of each shirt depends on several factors: rarity, the popularity of the player, market value, and whether the shirt is a genuine original from that year or a later official replica. Original vintage shirts are often more expensive due to their collectible value and limited availability.
Are signed football shirts a good investment?
Signed shirts of legendary players and rare matches can increase in value over time, especially originals with strong provenance and certification. However, the value can fluctuate based on the player's career, rarity, and collector demand. If you’re looking for shirts as an investment, feel free to ask us for advice. We’re happy to share our experience!
I’m looking for a specific player or shirt. Can you help?
Absolutely! If you have a special request for a certain player, team, or shirt, just get in touch. Thanks to our network and ongoing signings, we might be able to find rare items or order them specially for you.
How do I choose the photos for my framed shirt?
With the Basic, Luxury, or Luxury with Print frames, you can add your own photos and text. After placing your order, we’ll contact you to discuss your preferences, or you can leave your choices in the order notes at checkout. For the free budget frame, no photos or text can be added, it’s a simple frame, ready to hang.
How long does the framing process take?
Professional framing (Basic, Luxury, or Luxury with Print) takes a few working days, as each frame is custom-made. We’ll keep you updated and let you know as soon as your order is ready.
