[Albion] How much for this shirt? (URGENT)

[Professor Plum]

I’m in a pub in Shepherds Bush and noticed the landlord carrying a signed Brighton shirt. I grabbed him and asked what the story was. He said a friend of his was trying to sell it for charity. How much? “About a hundred would be great, but anything really” were his exact words.

What would you reasonably pay for it? He says it’s 12 years old but I can’t work out the signatures.

Edit - I can’t work out how to post an image but sponsor is B&H Jobs.com. Any thoughts? I said I’d let him know ASAP.

Well it'd cost about £40/£45 to buy the shirt in the first place. Having the signatures makes it worth more. If you want to own it, it's worth a bit. I certainly wouldn't want to take the piss with an offer, so at least £75. But I don't know how much it's really worth.

I’d prefer it with out the autographs?

Maybe my favourite ’modern’ era BHA top.

If it's for a bona fide charity and a cause you are happy to support, as much as you are will to give surely? The fact you get a signed shirt in return is a bonus

From a mush in Shepherds Bush?
Did he have any Trevor Francis track suits?

I suspect the charity was a red herring. The pub landlord was selling on behalf of his ‘mate’ who was raising money for an unspecified charity, he said. Hmm. Anyway, I didn’t buy it. I cheekily offered £40 as that was all the cash I had on me but this was politely turned down. I decided not to return after the match with more cash.

For anyone interested, the pub was the tiny Shepherd and Flock on Goldhawk Rd. He may still have it.

I forgot what a nice shirt that was. It's a beauty.

And that is why my lad isn't going to be able to get anymore sigs on our shirt (I say 'our's' as he accidentally took the wrong shirt & it was mine. ). People selling for 'charity' when no money will go to a charity. People selling the stuff full stop. The team get taxi's from the ground to the car park now as it all became a bit mad. It appears it's the price we pay for us no longer being 'little BHA' & it's a bit sad that we can't have 'nice things' like sig's on a shirt anymore due to people trying to make money from it. I'm obviously very happy that we are where we are but sometimes I do wish we were still 'little' & player's could sign shirts.

Ah, those were the days when the players would sign their name and squad number on the shirt. My memory must be failing tho. I don't recall squad member (just below the errea logo) 'Pele 10'

QPR, the era, a pub in Shepherd’s Bush, I’m amazed the name Charlie Oatway hasn’t come up!

I bet the landlord has a “signed” West Brom shirt next week for their first game of the season and one for every team in the championship
