Hi all,

Long time board member and very occasional poster here! I thought this might be the place to help some people out who want to build/add to their Cobblers shirt collection.

I've been collecting for years now and have most shirts dating from the 80's onwards. I've framed the really special ones, including play off final shirts, signed league 2 champions shirts with medal, etc and I've decided to sell the rest. Most have been stored in a cardboard box in my loft, with others taking up too much space in my wardrobe.

Anyway, all are being listed on ebay, scheduled to be completed by the end of today. There's some rare shirts on there so will be a good addition to any collectors. The auctions for the shirts are scheduled to end in 7 days time.

Best of luck with getting £50 for a Joe Bunney shirt. You might get more if you could scratch the name off.

I don't have a Joe Bunny shirt for sale...that one is framed and takes pride of place in my living room next to my Alistair Slowe and Paul Rodgers ones!

No problem at all, I've been a collector for years so have some great shirts, many of which bring back great memories from my younger years.

I've been contacted by quite a few people who are collectors of Cobblers memorabilia so it's nice to know that some of the shirts are helping to build on some already impressive collections

I bid on some shirts, mainly the early 90's away ones, but a few hours later they were gone off Ebay?

While I know they are your shirts, if someone messaged you offering money for them instead of bidding and playing a waiting game like me, isn't that slightly unfair?

I sold my collection by auction on ebay a few months ago. Some of the cash offers from collectors were laughable. Came to about £200 altogether, which was a fraction of what I paid for them before allowing for inflation.

I do understand it can be frustrating but when I'm offered more than what I think a shirt will go for via auction, then I'd be silly to turn it down. I've spent years building my collection and I'd be gutted not to get an items' true worth. You never know which way it will go via auction, as I myself have bought shirts for a steal in the past but equally, others have gone for far more than expected.

I still have 48 listed and won't be accepting any early offers on them. I was offered £1200 for them all but in all honesty, I expect with the shirts that I have left, that the collection will go for more than that. I've created a separate listing with a buy it now price on the whole lot but in reality, I think it will come will come to the individual auctions for each shirt.

On another note, what a great result tonight! Totally unexpected but a much needed 3 points! Hopefully Curle will keep the shackles off of the players and we can kick on. UTC
