Bit random but I have a signed Everton shirt (away kit) from the 94/95 season, signed by the whole squad and Big Joe the night before the Cup Final win. Basically my mum worked at the hotel they stayed in and I was allowed to eat next to them. I was 11. I wore it to the game but after we won my mum got it framed and mounted for me, stayed as the pride of my room for many years until I left home. It is now in my mums attic.
What do people reckon a piece of memorobelia like that is worth? Would anyone be interested in having it as I won't be bringing it over to Sweden where I now live and its a shame for it to be stashed away in an attic. Is there charities that use things like that in auctions? Any suggestions on its worth or if its worthless and anyone who wants to give it a good home let me know.
I also have a signed ball from the 3 round FA Cup match vs Southend in 92, me and my great uncle were match ball sponsors, guessing that one is fairly worthless but again signed by the whole squad.
The final one I have is a signed copy of Brian Labones book from about the mid sixties, can't remember exactly, it was my dads. Not really wanting to sell any of them but the shirt in the frame is quite big and me mum wants it gone!

I doubt it's worthless, I'd like it on my wall for my new pad but think charity is a much more worthy cause. Have you considered contacting the club?. I've seen them auction off plenty of things in the past for charities they're affiliated with.

Just a thought, Svenny. Why not contact Alder Hey & see if they'd take it for one of the many charity auctions that take place these days? There's a chance a wealthy Evertonian might bid a good price & so the hospital benefits as well. Nice gesture btw.

I've got no idea of value or what you would take for the signed shirt. My dad would love it. Not sure if my mother would (depending on size).

Either way I am interested so would appreciate contact a contact email or number if you are not giving it to charity.

Yeah I think donating to some type of charity auction is the way to go. I just think because its a replica shirt rather than one worn by a player that the value might be pretty low, on the flip side I have seen Big Dunc signed shirts replica kits from the final going for 150 quid so to have the whole squad and Big Joe might mean it is worth something, despite being the white kit with black stripes and not the blue we played in.
I will update with the outcome, thanks for the suggestions

{Ed025's Note - you should use MSN or facebook svenny, as a message on here would become common knowledge mate, and is not advised..

If your selling the shirt Svenny I would definitely be interested, you could put it onto EBay and post a link on here, let me know

Tack

All sounds quite good to me too. Certainly interested but I do think charity would be the best shout.
