Latest News July 10th 2010 For the England fans an absolute disaster on the pitch. Memorabilia wise we were glad we didn’t invest to heavily in modern day shirts; however it heightened the value of the 1966 team the only team to ever win the World cup. We at soccerbid HQ feel that it wasn’t a memorable world cup however it would be fair to say that we had probably had the best three months we could wish for and to our customers we say a very big thank you. We were delighted to rent out our World Cups to various different bodies and quite a number of people have commented that our modern day world cup was the best they had ever seen. So now we look forward to the premiership season. We have got the rugby World cup next year. Will Tottenham perform in Europe? Will England get through in the Euro qualifiers? What will happen in the memorabilia world? We are finding that more and more people are wishing to sell us their collections. With so much vintage memorabilia now being offered a lot of it is unbelievable in its content however as a business we have make right decisions whether to reject some of the very good items that are being offered to us or maybe take the initiative and of start to sell other peoples memorabilia on their behalf. This is something that we are experimenting with. Soccerbid still has excellent figures on people viewing the site and so in that respect it’s a perfect shop window to sell your wares, particularly the front page. So we will be experimenting with a select number of collections of memorabilia that we are happy with the authenticity. If you are interested please send us details of the items that you have got, a scan of the signature and the authenticity that comes with it. It would be fair to say that a high percentage of the items that we are offered are just not authentic. Once again we will urge any buyer of memorabilia buy from a credible memorabilia dealer. Do not get conned by a geezer who is selling a bit of gear from his front room or the back of his car. Do not be scared to ask you would like to visit the premises from which the person operates. Ask if they VAT registered ask for the company registration number, ask how long they have been trading. Unless they can give you a positive answer to all of the above do not deal with these people. We need a clean memorabilia industry and certainly don’t want people to be scared to buy by bogus sellers of memorabilia. We look forward to being of service to you building up to Christmas, have a good summer and lets hope next year we are well on our way to qualify for the Euro championships. Written June 2010 World Cup fever is here and we have been delighted by the last couple of month’s sales, working along side a number of our own clients (please see tobn.co.uk). We have been up and down the country supplying memorabilia for many people attending functions. This business goes in swings and roundabouts one minute we are doing loads online the next minute we are doing everything face to face. However we have been delighted and surprised by the sales and we are looking forward to a prosperous world cup. You will notice we have a number of England shirts signed by some of the currant team members and also some of the legends. It’s the first world cup that we haven’t invested too heavily in lots of multi signed England shirts. We remember from the 2006 world cup we were left with about 20 shirts. People are always questioning how we manage to obtain such quality autographs although we are not going to give our secrets out it would be fair to say through our sports agency which has been trading 30 years this gives us access to lots of sports stars. We also get involved with official signing sessions sometimes supplying the artiste sometimes tying up with other companies and we also have lots of people on “the inside”. One day I’m sure we will write a book about it. Memorabilia wise and we say this as West Ham fans and through gritted teeth; we were delighted with the success of Chelsea and Tottenham because it opened it up for a whole new batch of memorabilia. We cannot believe how much Tottenham shirts have been getting in auctions. It seems the days of signed photographs have almost died a death and the 10 x 8 photographs certainly seem to be on the decline. For those people wishing to buy photographs it now seems to be more and more 12 x 16”s. Our boss David Davies who is chairman of the Aftal organization was delighted to meet a number of members of the public and dealers at the recent memorabilia exhibition held at the NEC Birmingham. Aftal delivered its first Oscars to various recognized dealers within the industry sadly the board members couldn’t vote for themselves. We are delighted that our world cups have been used by a number of companies on hire for various events ranging from TV to star studded events. We look forward to a prosperous world cup and the new season isn’t very far away. While Tottenham and Chelsea fans are congratulating themselves the West Ham team are just pleased to be in the premiership and the prayer mats are out again to hope under a new manager we can be in the premier league this time next year. Have a good summer Kind Regards Soccerbid team. Written April 2010 Here we are a third of the way though the year and already we are starting to plan events and promotions for the end of the year. Soccerbid has been delighted to be in attendance on a number of West Ham shows and also starting to appear at dinner functions with various legends around the country. In the memorabilia world, on line dealers are reporting brisk business, however, we are still constantly surprised as to the numbers people out there who are spending their hard earned cash with our company Thanks. You will notice an influx of quite a number of new Bobby Moore signed items. As possibly one of the largest dealers with collections of Bobby Moore items, we have started making available for sale single signed Bobby Moore items going back to the early 50’s and covering the 60’s to the 80’s. We are surprised at some of the ignorant people out there that claim that Bobby’s signatures of the late 50’s and early 60’s are fakes when they are clearly not, it is just a different style of signature that he then used. We are aware of 12 different styles of signature but it goes back to the old saying, if spending good money on something why not spend it with someone who knows what they are talking about. We have opened a sister company dealing with our passion of Titanic autographs.com. This is really to capitalize on the sales for 2012 and if anyone out there is an investor. This must surely be worth considering. Our boss Dave Davies has been asked to attend the autographic show in May and speak and present prizes on behalf of Aftal to the dealers of the year, something of which will be an honour and also a privilege. World Cup memorabilia is very much now in demand and where we thought 1966 memorabilia was getting to be quiet; it has now been reignited by the World Cup in South Africa. Some of you may have noticed the recent drop in price reference some of the player’s worn shirts. We have found that these have started to fall in value, particularly high quality England worn shirts or those worn in World Cups or by A list former England players. We now are on Twitter and pick up some weekly bargains and new one off products before they go on the main site. Just look for soccerbid Feb 2010 Greetings and can we still say a Happy New Year to you. We are always delighted that January proves to be one of our best months in the year for memorabilia. We have now found a trend where our clients are only to happy to wait until January to get some bargains. This is fine for the modern day memorabilia but for the vintage memorabilia this seems to hold its own price and in some cases goes up in value. We have at last started to see a movement upwards of George Best memorabilia. Initially when George died, because he had on a few occasions some near misses with his maker. Immediately after he recovered there was thousand of items signed, all of which seems to descend onto the market initially after he died. The market seems to have settled down now and over the Christmas period with people buying presents suddenly the value of George Best items suddenly shot up. So if you have held onto your George Best you have kept yourself a good investment. A lot of people were finding through selling early, resulted in loosing money. We are being asked about current England memorabilia. Here at Soccerbid we made a mistake at the last World Cup, we stocked up on too much modern day England memorabilia. You must remember that these currant guys have still got to do it to replicate our hero’s from 1966, then the value of their autographs will go up; we have a strong feeling in this office that the team will get into the quarter finals. Dare we say quietly the semi finals? If the team does get into the semi-finals, they can be held into the high esteem along side the team of 1990, whose memorabilia still keeps a good value. We therefore wait with baited breath. Soccerbid has been on the road again with West Ham shows both in Dartford and Basildon. We are delighted in making lots of new friends and renew acquaintances with old ones. We are looking forward to further dates in this part of the South East of England. Our new concept on valuations seems to have hit some red tape. We will keep you posted. Until then you will have to email us! Aftal still seems to be going from strength to strength. With Aftal exposing even more fake memorabilia dealers dare we say most sell on EBay when will people learn? The 6 nations is just about to start and with our boss being a Davies he is hoping Ireland can be the force to beat this time round however he is not feeling that confident. With West Ham having new owners we are concerned the name is not going to be changed to Anne Summers Utd. Thanks for making our 2009 the busiest year yet we do appreciate your custom and keep spreading the word Please! Written December 2009. We can’t really believe that we are once again coming up to Christmas, it doesn’t seem five minutes when we were wishing Christmas greetings this time last year. It has been a very busy 6 weeks again. Since our last scribble we were particularly delighted to meet a number of our northern soccerbid customers at the Legends of Manchester United at Salford. Gary Pallister, Alex Stepney and Norman Whiteside joined us there with the memorabilia shop and also the auction items. We popped up to the memorabilia show at NEC the weekend of the 21st and 22nd November 2009. Apart from the AFTAL Dealers we were surprise that the members of the public were quite happy to trust the authenticity of dealers selling premiership signed football photographs at £3 and £4 pounds. A few at even £10! It doesn’t take much common sense to work out that full time staff have to get the autograph, the cost of the photograph, vat where applicable, the cost of running an professional office with telephone staff, rates etc how can you sell premiership signed photo’s at £3 each and they be genuine. We will leave you this to ponder. There seems to be a growing divide now between the proper dealers in the UK and the others. Sadly the number of proper dealers in the UK seems to be decreasing but we are glad that our customers keep coming back to us time and time again and telling us what a great job we are doing in the memorabilia market. This leaves us finally the opportunity to wish you and yours greetings at this time of the year and looking forward to a profitable year 2010 for all concerned. Who knows we may even win the World Cup! From all the team at Soccerbid thank you once again for your continued support and business. For those who have not bought from Soccerbid before why not try us you will be pleasantly surprised. News 7th October 2009 We are delighted to say that it has been a busy time in the last couple of months, not only with our shows, “Soccerbid on the Road” but also with auctions up and down the country. We were delighted to work with the Royal Bank of Scotland is association with the Prince’s trust, with our brand new online auction. This works for Fund Raisers and Charities that have an excess of 100 terminals or PC within their organization. We can offer up to 100 items per time and also help make some serious money for the much needed charities and fund raising. We were also delighted to continue working with Help The Hero’s campaign raising money for the guys who are fighting on behalf of you and us in distant lands. Another charity that we have been made aware of is close to our heart and has been set up to provide a memorial garden for Bobby Moore, in time for his 70th birthday in Bobby’s old school. Soccerbid has agreed to work along side this charity and hopefully together we can raise money to build this garden in honour of this wonderful man. This is nothing to do with the Bobby Moore Fund. If you are interested contact us and we can provide further details for you. One new product of interest which we are launching this month is the book “Treasures of the World Cup”. We are starting to see more and more copy documents and pullouts. Replica tickets, letters etc all in relation to the World Cups, ever since they started right up until 2006. We were instrumental as part of this product, in fact we provided Sir Geoff Hurst our client to do the forward for this book. While we are on the subject of books and just to raise a smile and an ideal Christmas present, “The big book of footballs funniest quotes”, with some wonderful stories and quotations from some of our characters from the game with the round ball again we had a interest in this as we provided our client Peter Shilton to provide the forward for this. Both of these are available on Soccer Bid. So what is happening in the memorabilia world? We are finding that genuinely across the business that the more modern memorabilia as in current signed photos sales have been levelling off and it is driving the prices down, which is good for you buyers. With a lot of the clubs now stopping the players signing shirts and it is getting more expensive to get an official genuine current signed shirt from what ever the club. However, due to the fact that there is such a shortage of genuine ones available, this is driving the price up. We do appreciate that sometimes if your team is not doing particularly well this season, as West Ham Fans here we know exactly what you are going through, would you then necessary want a shirt of that teams if you have had a poor season. However, suddenly we have seen a light at the end of the tunnel, where older shirts from a few years ago, that perhaps at the time or maybe for the following season and maybe for the season after that didn’t prove to be very valuable but suddenly have shot up in price. So this seasons Man United, Tottenham and Liverpool shirt in ten years time could shoot up in value. We have noticed this on the valuation front, where shirts that probably cost £200 four or five years ago are now getting £300 to £400 pounds. Possibly because some of the legends that played for the clubs who have either became immortal in the clubs supporters eyes or have possibly gone on to bigger and better things. Already people are talking to us about Christmas. What is this Christmas’s much wanted item? Well with the World Cup just round the corner our eyes are focused again on the 1966 team. If you haven gone to the expense of getting a shirt signed by the team this is possibly something very well worth considering. As usual we will be doing special packages for the World Cup. The valuations are still as busy as ever and we are still waiting to organize a special new valuation lines, which due to legislation and red tape has been delayed it being now almost 6 months. To Man United Fans, we look forward to seeing you in November. Joining us will be Norman Whiteside, Alex Stepney, and Gary Pallister. Soccer Bid will also be up in Telford on October 23rd. 2009. For those people going to the show featuring Razor Ruddock, Frank Bruno and John Conteh. Thank you for your continued support.
