They look alright from what I can see. I'm guessing they're in an upcoming auction.

They do indeed look authentic - but as others have noted, not the most desirable set.

These went for £1,800 plus 25%...a fair price.

The auction fee was just 300 pounds, not 25%. I think they went for a fair price too. I'm definitely going to have them reframed though because the presentation is failrly hideous if you ask me.

congrats...how did you get the fee so low ? I thought it was 17.5% plus vat plus an online fee buying.... Yeah a very bad framing job and such a shame they’ve been cut up so badly too.

Thanks!

In my experience the 25% fee you've mentioned is done by the likes of Julien's and other well known and really big auction houses. Most of the auction houses I buy stuff from in England only have a small percentage they add in comparison to others I only had something like 25% charged by Julien's.

Yeah, it's a pity that they were cut up. I assume it was just a young fan who appreciated their autographs but didn't (understandably) had a clue yet that they were once going to be very special autographs.

Nevertheless I think that this set has the potential to look great. A different and better frame job would definitely make it more appealing.

Yeah, will you re-frame and sell or keep ? I think they were bought for a good few hundred pound below retail, so you'll be ok whatever you decide to do.

I'm leaning towards resell because this isnt my first set. I'm definitely going to reframe them though because regardless of what I'll eventually do itll increase in value when its framed nice and properly in my opinion.
