is it worth anything?

Question

i have a t-shirt i won when i was young from an old childrens tv programme it is signed by robbie gary mark jason and howard when take that were in thier prime does anyone know if it would be worth anything

Answer 1

I am an amateur autograph collector and the good news is that your T shirt will already be worth several hundred pounds, if not more.

For example, a good clear signature from Robbie Williams alone is currently worth around £300. Fraser's Autographs, the UK's premier autograph experts, have a list of the 'Top 100' autographs, in terms of value, and also in terms of how much the signature's worth increases year by year. In 1997, Robbie's signature was worth around £75, so it's increased in value by £225 (300%) in just 10 years!

Also, another great thing is that all the Take That boys have signed one item. One single item signed by a group of celebrities (e.g. Take That, Monthy Python, The Beatles, etc etc) is always worth more than each member of a group signing a seperate photo.

Having said all that, what REALLY matters when it comes to the value of autographs is the condition of the item and signature. I would suggest that you store your T shirt wrapped in tissue paper, somewhere that no moths can get to it. What also makes a difference is some kind of proof that the sigs are genuine - for example, did you get a letter when they sent your prize to you? If so, keep it with the T shirt.

This is only my personal opinion, but I really wouldn't use ebay for selling something so desirable. Fraser's Autographs are specialists in autograph auctions and I am sure would be happy to include the T shirt in an auction, if that's what you wanted. Their comission (i.e. their fee) is higher than ebay's, but you do get the serious, rich collectors at such prestigious auctions.

And finally, it's up to you, but I would seriously consider hanging onto the T shirt and NOT selling it......such an item can only ever go up in value. And it sounds awful, but the value of autographs always shoots up when the celebrity passes away so the longer you keep it, the more it will be worth.

Have a look at Fraser's website for lots of info on autographs...it's at http://www.frasersautographs.com/. If you want to get a current market price, this is something they can do for you, for a small fee. The contact details are down the bottom of the page where it says 'contact us'.

Hope this has been helpful to you - look after that T shirt, you are very lucky and I am very jealous!!!

Answer 2

I'd say it would. Take That are back together and all the maniacs are about buying anything to do with them!

I suggest looking for similar items on auction sites to get an idea what people will pay for this kind of stuff. Then when it comes to you possibly actioning/selling yours, make sure you advertise it well to be sure it gets the best price.

Answer 3

I'd say it's definitely worth something, especially as Take That are making a come back. Can you prove it's genuine? Have you got a photo of you with the boys or one with them signing it? You'd get more for it if you can prove it's for real. Ebay is your best bet.

Answer 4

Best thing to do is put it on Ebay with some Good Photo's Ect

Someone might buy it ,

The thing lov, can you prove that its not a fake ? Thats the question !

Answer 5

... You didn't deserve that, and he doesn't deserve YOU!! Wow, I'm speechless tbh. It's understandable that it really put a spear through your heart, that's a really not nice thing to say. It's his loss, think of it that way. You've done nothing wrong, and he does that? You deserve so much better than that. I really hope you find someone better than him. "Bad moods" don't count for that, I really hope you cheer up soon, but I understand the heartbreak. :( xx
