So what trade prices can we offer? Like anything discounts apply to the size of orders. Many items on this web site are one off's, signatures are becoming so hard to get from the big names that sometimes value is based on many factors. How many signatures did we get from the star in question? what is the quality of the signature like? did we get proof? was there any smudging on the signature? what were our travel costs? what is the current market value at that time for that player? all things done we try to offer a competitive price that offers you the customer a fair chance of re-sale after framing etc

So many people jump into this industry using ebay as there main supply, a dangerous start in a perilous yet rewarding industry. Many ebay buyers short term can succeed, there's the wow factor that a customer will get when he sees a framed signed Steven Gerrard Champions League photo and unlike many industry's potential customers again particularly in retail are impulse buys. If you want to succeed in selling Sporting autographs you have to offer real not fake, spend time learning about the industry, visit trade shows, talk to people in the know. The buying public are becoming more and more knowledgeable about the business and are demanding detailed history or photo proof to help establish authenticity, and why wouldn't they?

Were do we get our signed memorabilia from? We obtain our autographs in person which means we don't buy from third parties, we are out on street level getting signatures from training grounds, press conferences, team hotels, airports, matches & players commercial appearances. We also work very closely with a number of ex players and obtain signatures in a "private signing" environment.

Perhaps you are organizing a Charity or Sportsman's dinner and need help with auction prizes. We can offer ready to go framed pieces at sensible money with potentially huge mark up for your night. Once we build a business relationship we are able to offer certain pieces on a sale or return basis-how can you lose?

Worth remembering though that in terms of future value a signed piece will hold its money or in many cases increase if it has come from a reputable source. What is a Pele signed shirt worth in 10 years time when the only providence you have is a COA (Certificate of authenticity) from a kid that threw one together on his home PC and has ceased trading on ebay a long time ago? The answer-worthless.

There are some great autograph people in the UK and some fantastic authentic memorabilia about. Our advice is just be careful and learn about the autograph business before you dive in. Its a great industry to get involved in but a long and painful battle against the FAKERS!
