Match Worn Shirts & Football Memorabilia for Sale.The words 'football' and 'investment' may not always appear together in the same sentence, but one area where football has proved to be a shrewd investment is in the field of memorabilia and particularly match worn players' shirts. The huge growth in the game's popularity has been matched and in many cases exceeded by the growing prices of genuine collectable items. Just as football dominates the headlines of the sports pages, it also provides some of the leading prices in the world of sporting memorabilia, particularly where icons of the beautiful game are concerned, with prices paid at auction for the match shirt worn by (in the World Cup Final in 1970) recently fetching over £150,000 and Geoff Hurst's match shirt (as worn in the 1966 World Cup Final) fetching over £90,000. The big plus for any of these items is their uniqueness - they can never be replicated. All of the shirts have been authenticated by both Christie's and Sotheby's of London. For an additional fee, a certificate can be signed by Graham Budd, Head of Sporting Memorabilia for Sotheby's.We will also be introducing a membership scheme for customers who have already bought items from The Football Museum.
