Frequently Asked Questions

At SoccerSignings, all items are hand-signed. You can tell by the way the marker has been applied to the shirt, but primarily by the certificate of authenticity that guarantees its genuineness.

Every shirt comes with a certificate of authenticity, which in most cases includes photo and/or video evidence. This shows the player in question signing the item.

If an item does not come with our own certificate, it comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by Beckett, PSA/DNA, Exclusive Memorabilia, or A1 Sporting Speakers. 

These are the largest and most reliable certificates in the world of memorabilia.

Beckett is a third party that verifies signatures on shirts, balls, photos, and goalkeeper gloves. Because the market for signed football memorabilia is unfortunately full of forgeries, Beckett acts as the independent arbiter.

• Authentication: Experts compare the signature (for example, from Messi, Ronaldo, or Pelé) against a massive database of known, genuine examples. They look at ink flow, pressure points, and the natural 'flow' of the pen.
• Certification: If the signature is found to be genuine, the item receives a unique serial number, a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), and often an invisible ink mark or a hologram sticker.
• Valuation: A shirt with a Beckett mark of approval is immediately worth more and easier to sell, because the buyer has the guarantee that the scribble was not made by a fan or a machine.
  
  
  Beckett has two types of certificates:

1. Beckett Authenticated (Ex-post examination)

This is the most common form of certification. It means that someone has sent a signed item (for example, a shirt that has been in a closet for years) to Beckett for inspection.

• The process: Beckett's experts examine the signature after the fact. They use their database and experience to determine whether the scribble matches the player's known style.
• The conclusion: "Based on our examination, we believe this signature is genuine."
• Certainty: Very high, but it remains an expert opinion on a signature that they did not see being made themselves.

2. Beckett Witnessed (Witnessed at the time of signing)

This is the "holy grail" for collectors. This label is only given if an official Beckett employee was physically present at the moment the player put pen to the item.

• The process: During an official signing session (for example, an event with Erling Haaland), the Beckett representative stands next to the player. As soon as the signature is placed, the employee immediately attaches a hologram to it.
• The conclusion: "We have seen with our own eyes that this player signed this specific item."
• Certainty: 100%. There is no room for doubt or discussion about the authenticity, because the chain of evidence has never been broken.

In most cases, we work with original shirts. Should this not be the case, we will clearly indicate this on the product page.

A Netherlands 1988 home shirt, for example, is a replica shirt, as the shirt is too old and too exclusive to obtain in large quantities as an original.

Ordered before 3:00 PM? Then your item will be shipped the same day. This only applies on working days (Monday - Friday). Orders placed on the weekend will be processed on the next working day.

If you would like to frame your own shirt or order a shirt with a framing option, it will take a maximum of 5–10 working days for the product to be framed.

As all our items are professionally custom-framed, this takes a few working days and cannot be done while you wait or immediately after the order is placed.

We can hardly imagine that you will not be satisfied with your purchase, but should this be the case, you can return your item within 14 days without giving any reason.

The general terms and conditions apply to this.

Certainly, we would be happy to help! We professionally frame every shirt completely custom for you. We can accommodate any wishes and specifications and create it exactly how you want it.

In addition to football items, we also frame other items, such as football boots, boxing gloves, and F1 caps.

All sizes are possible, from children's sizes to 4XL.

We call our frames premium frames. We are currently the only ones in the memorabilia sector to have handmade frames of this quality.

The shirt is stretched (using special tape, not pins like other companies) onto cardboard and placed on a black, 100% acid-free cardboard mat. Thanks to the dimensions of 90 x 70 centimeters, the shirt almost always gets a "floating" effect. There is space between the edges of the frame and the shirt, which creates a beautiful effect. The edges of our frames are made of wood, which is cut to size and glued. To protect the shirt, all our frames are equipped with 100% clear glass with a UV filter, which protects the shirt against discoloration while allowing it to be perfectly admired.

Specifications:
- Size: 90 (Length) x 70 (Width) centimeters.
- Glass: 100% clear glass with UV Filter.
- Frame type: Wood
- Frame color: Black
- Hanging system: Hanging wire

Your shirt should not only be an eye-catcher on the wall but also offer optimal protection against sun, dirt, and moisture.
