How to sell a signed Arsenal photo

7 replies

Hippee · 26/06/2011 15:48

My mother-in-law just won an authentic signed photo of the Arsenal Squad - it has the documentation to prove that it is genuine and was donated by someone who works for Arsenal. Has anyone any idea of the best way to sell something like this? I have no idea how much is likely to sell for, as there seem to be either signed shirts or individual signed photos (or ones where the signatures are printed).

is it like this one?

Similar Furball, but it has the Arsenal name and crests at the top and a hologrammed sticker on it - and it has proper signatures not just pre-printed copies. I have seen signed photos of individual players selling for £50+ but haven't been able to find anything comparable for the whole squad (just the copied ones like that Ebay item).

MIL doesn't know we're trying to sell it for her - so we're hoping for as much as possible to surprise her (she didn't want the actual photo).

Don't get your hopes up for megabucks. The squad haven't won anything this season, a considerable number if them will be off shortly possibly including big names such as Fabregas and Nasri. If they'd won something it would be different. I'm a disappointed fan, they're are many of us Sad. If you put it on eBay expect anything between £80-140.

Chipotle - wasn't expecting a fortune so the price you quoted would be fantastic (now you've got my hopes up!) Just want something to give MIL a treat.

Hope Arsenal do better next season - they are our favourite Premier League club (waves from mid Division 1)

Make sure you put in a reserve just in case; photograph it well including the authentication documents. Do you have good seller rating and feedback?

Be careful with this: if she won it from eg a raffle, it may have been donated wtih the condition that it is not sold for profit. So if you do sell it via a traceable means like ebay, that can have repercussions for the organisation where she won it, iyswim. Arsenal are quite generous with these photos for local church/school/charity raffles, but I know there is a proviso about them not being sold on. Might be worth finding out about this before you go ahead and list it (this may also be the reason you can't find loads of similar items listed).

Thanks AgonyBeetle - that's good to know. Nothing was mentioned about not selling on when the charity was given it, as the charity were kicking themselves that they had not Ebayed it themselves (they hadn't realised how valuable it might be) before mentioning it as a raffle prize. I'll ask the friend of the person at Arsenal who organised it to check.
