For my Dads 60th I had been collecting for years signed trivia with an end goal, which I reached.

50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and noughties. One for each decade he has lived in.

I have framed for him, all collaged, representing the 50's a signed Pele Brazil top. For the 60s a Bestie signed photo, for the 70s a Cruyff signed photo, for the 80s a Maradona signed top. For the 90s I've gone with Ronaldo and a signed top, but got a Zidane signed picture as well as I was unsure. For the noughties I got a Barca top signed by Ronaldinho (got Henrik to sign it as well, but I didnt tell him as he's a Rangers fan :devilish:). These are all genuine as I got them myself, my job gets me to some decent sports events and ceremonies and this stuff was collected over about 20 years. He has given it to me as he has retired, closed his restaurant and does not have room for it.

What would this fetch at auction?

My wife had a bit of a scare this week and we got the all clear today and after 4 days of wondering if my lovely lady was going to be taken from me I've decided to punt some money into a local cancer charity and part will be selling this. Got bundles of other trivia, might just get the lot gone and give them the proceeds. It's hard to imagine who'd want to buy it as it is quite personal, was more or less directed at my old man.

I'll need to get my thinking bunnet on....................

Tam, thank you, not quite sure what to say. I'm closing the thread though.

Well done mate, to be honest at first I thought you had managed to capture a Samaras goal on video!
