Pezo Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Anyone bidding around £400 for a Weiman shirt - hats off to you for having way too much money. If that shirt is worth £400 then how much is Murrays from "that" Cardiff game worth? Or how much would Burnell or Aaron Brown shirt from the LDV final in 2003 be worth?

Silvio Dante Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 I hate to be a spoilsport, but…. At full time, both Matty James and Antoine Semenyo took off the shirts they were wearing and handed them to fans in the crowd. Now, there is an argument that James may have changed at HT (unlikely) but as Semenyo came on in the second half, there is no way the shirt they’re advertising for sale is “match worn”, despite what any COA says. And if you can’t trust those, can you trust the rest? At best, Antoine and Mattys (and I’d guess a few others) are “match issue” but have never been worn. So, you’re as well buying one from the club shop, getting it signed and bunging a sizeable amount to the charity of your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shirts are being sold as match worn with a certificate of authenticity. If they are not truly match worn, the club should make it clear. Maybe @JerrySLO can clarify.

I’d imagine they’d all go for about £8.35 each - why would anyone pay huge sums of money to purchase a garment that has been worn by another human being?! I remember when someone paid something like £26,000 for a banana skin from a banana eaten by Keira Knightly or someone like that ... why? Just why?!

Well that might be your opinion, but clearly people do spend large amounts on worn shirts so you’re probably wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case thar is important to people. Currently it's about £800 retained for the company. That's to cover people's time, sourcing the shirts, getting them signed, the website, delivering etc. So likely they may make £600 profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t ever apologise for attempting to inject humour into any situation Slacker - this life is so full of horrible things, so we will always need a giggle to get through.

Well when I said "laugh" it wouldn't have been up there with one of Eric Morecambe's finest quips! However, you're right that you can't win them all. It was great to read how BS4 and your good self were able to resolve any misunderstanding in a pleasant manner. One of you could've easily stormed off this thread having thought "Knickers to you." I must be old. I doubt anyone younger than me would've heard of that expression! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 I always try to avoid animosity if possible Norn.I have to be honest and say that occasionally my temper can get the better of me and I am always ashamed and embarrassed afterwards.I find it much easier to keep balanced on here because I have time to think about it as I post,and usually calm down before I hit the send button.There have been a few times when I have written arsey replies to something that has got under my skin a bit,then thought better of it and deleted it.Its all just opinions after all and I always try to give the benefit of doubt in regards to context.I do quite admire some poster's fire and passion though.
