In the world of authentic hand-signed memorabilia, the odd smudge or imperfection is inevitable – it’s just what happens when you deal with real people signing real items in the real world.

When products don’t meet our high standards – be that because of a smudge, a stain or a wrinkle – we try our best to find them a home so that no genuine signature needlessly goes to waste.

We call these items Warehouse Seconds and we know they should never be sold full price.

We wanted to share with you that we recently updated our process of assessing and grading our Warehouse Seconds products to give you complete clarity and total fairness.

From now on you’ll notice that we grade our Warehouse Seconds. If we give the item a Grade A, that means it’s in near-perfect shape and there’s only a very minor blemish. Grade B would mean a slightly more significant imperfection – and so on so forth.

The lower the grade the higher the discount. That’s only fair. And today we’d like to publish the pricing for our grading system so you can be clear on how we do it:

• Grade A – 40% off the normal RRP
• Grade B – 50% off the normal RRP
• Grade C – 60% off the normal RRP
• Grade D – 70% off the normal RRP
• Grade E – 80% off the normal RRP

Our Warehouse Seconds range is home to incredible signed items from the greatest names in all of sport. And, because they’ve been deemed by our staff as less than perfect, they represent some of the best value for money anywhere online.
