When John McGuinness was at Grantham Honda he signed a tt legends t shirt and a couple of posters, what do I do with the shirt, do I wear it and accept the signature fading in the wash and the shirt being wrecked after a few months or do I put it behind glass an stick it on my office wall?
Hi Carl. If you wear it it’s going to be a duster or chain rag in next to no time. If it was mine I would frame it.
I would definitely put it behind glass. But bear in mind something Terry Pratchett once said to me in Waterstones. According to him, he'd signed so many books, the ones without a signature would be worth more.
I know what you mean Ken but it's not the value. I have a large framed and signed poster of James Towsland and over the years the signature has faded, it will soon just be a poster.
Ahh, I see. Unfortunately, unless it's signed with something archival or a pencil, heaven and earth wont stop that. UV barrier glass might help.
I doubt it will last for ever being on cloth though Carl? Paintings and prints are better, I would have thought for sigs? Didn't John sign a print for you too? Frame and show that and wear your shirt, it may give you the power to get your knee down mate
Simon, every one on this forum thinks I already get my knee down all the time and now they know to the contrary, I was keeping my lack of skill a secret.
Be careful that's not the only power it gives you Carl. You'll also grow a beer belly and half your teeth will fall out.
I had a Dainese Mugello MotoGP T-Shirt signed by Marco Simoncelli - I gave it to the Simoncelli foundation to auction at Misano last month No idea what it was worth, or what it sold for - stupid maybe and something I may regret - but somehow felt wrong for me to profit from his death when some good could come of it.
