 The montage also includes colour miniaturised images of the 1966 world Cup Poster and the Final Programme.  

There are 2 small sellotape residue marks to Bobby Moore's page, but the signature is bold and clear and they do not detract from the whole, see scans below.

 I have tried to photograph this wonderful montage but because of my old camera I cannot make a single image that shows just how good this truly is.

The words “Scanned for eBay” obviously are not on the actual Montage just on the images below.

Please be assured these are the genuine hand signed signatures of the 11 winning players and their manager, they are not reprints or copies they are true autographs which means our heroes actually touched these wonderfull items.

“11. How do I know that the autograph I am buying is genuine?

All of the autographs that pass through our auctions have been carefully authenticated and appraised by our experts. We believe that the catalogue descriptions provided are amongst the most accurate and detailed within the auction world and should give you the ability to make your purchase with confidence. Autographs have been forged and duplicated for centuries although any submitted items that we have a concern over are returned to the owner and do not appear in our auctions.

 12. Do you provide a Certificate of Authenticity?

No, it is our opinion that certificates of authenticity (COAs) are generally worthless and prove little. In fact we see more forged signatures accompanied by certificates of authenticity than we do genuine ones! Any purchase made through our auction is accompanied by a detailed receipt which, along with the relevant catalogue entry, serves as a record of where and when you made the purchase.”

About me.

I have been a collector of football rugby and other sporting memorabilia for many, many years as well as WWI & WWII memorabillia. My main interests have been world cup and Euro European football / soccer, especially 1966 and 1970 world cups. I have been an eBay member from the very early days when one had to join the USA site because there was no other site!

I can spot a genuine or fake world cup 66 final programme instantly and have even become expert enough to tell a genuine Franz Beckenbauer auto from a fake and can even tell you roughly which decade he signed it due to the massive changes in how he signed as a young man to how he signs in later life.

Remember a COA means nothing more than the word of whoever issued it; a person you will never meet and the second they go out of business or stop selling on eBay, is totally worthless. Provenance is everything. I also suggest that the winning bidder print a copy of this auction and add that to the original receipt to add to the provenance.
