Does anyone collect match worn shirts?

in General Charlton
Specifically, Charlton ones.

I know there are quite a few people who collect Charlton shirts. I've got a great mix of replicas and matchworns. I'd be interested to hear from other match worn collectors. It would be great to see any special or rare shirts they may have.

    I’ve got a Pawell Abbot blue away top signed by the whole squad. Don’t know from what game though. My wife had his kid at her school when he played for us and he donated it for a fundraiser. You had to submit sealed bids and whilst I wasn’t that bothered, put in a £25 and forgot about it. After I won, my wife told me mine was the only bid.

    Interesting 25 minutes or so here from Wake Up To Money featuring a guy from 'Match Worn Shirts' and another from an auction house.  I can't believe the value of these things nowadays or how big the industry has grown.  Good listen for those who are interested.

    Classic. Put in a bid for a signed shirt and win with a bid that is worth less than just the shirt itself.

    Will only get bigger, trading cards have become huge over here too. I think next year's WC will push it all to another level

    Reckon in about 10 years my Matt Smith shirt might be worth a score 🤞

    Does match worn mean unwashed? And would it lose or gain value if it's been washed, or would that depend on the personal preference of the buyer?

    Match worn can be either. Unwashed can be beneficial as can have marks that can be matched to images. On the flip side they can stink something rotten.

    Jumping on the thread a little here.. but I've got a signed shirt from 2014/15 season by the whole squad. Debating selling it as I have no space to display it.. anyone have any idea what this kind of thing is worth these days?

    I have a match-worn Peter Garland shirt. Not worth much as a shirt, I know.  But I will make a fortune if I cut it up and sell the fabric by the yard.

    I have a contact who collects worn underwear. He has asked me to put feelers out on Charlton Life.

    Important to note, said underwear does not need to be Charlton related - but MUST be pre-worn.

    Assuming this is a replica top, coupled with me not being an expert on these matters, I imagine you'd be lucky to get £150 for it.

    That may be a better option to get a higher price.  Good luck.

    Struggled to shift one of these squad signed ones myself a year or so back. Eventually sold for around 50 quid I think. Hopefully you do better.

    I have some under crackers you can have, I must warn you that they are a bit ripe and slightly skid marked.

    I note Spotify are putting Ed Sheeran's new album cover logo on Barcelona's shirt for the up coming Real Madrid game.  What price?

    There will only be 1,899 "match quality" shirts made, while an "even more exclusive" collection of just 22 tops will be signed by players.

    Sheeran, who lives near Framlingham, in Suffolk, will also personally sign 11 of the shirts.

    I understand ElfborgsAddick has a substantial collection of match worn Jock Straps……some going back as far as the early1930’s.🫣
