German National Team Autographs - 1999

[barstoolboy]

I was going to sell this German FA autographed piece of memorabilia (not even sure what it is, possibly a mouse mat?)

I believe that it might be from May 1999 when Germany played Northern Ireland in Belfast. It was given to me by a good source.

I am 99% sure the autographs are genuine, can anyone help verify, before I start selling it?

The item is authentic.

I don't know what the item is, per se, but do know it isn't a mouse mat as these items were being provided by the German FA for autograph purposes for many years prior to home computers being common.

I suspect it was just viewed as a higher quality material for autographs than paper.

Appreciate the reply. Is it of much value?

I don't think value is too high given they are recent autographs. Have a look at Agon, the well established German sports auctioneer as they have sold similar items in their auctions.

However, I think it is a nice item and the sort of item typically under-appreciated by collectors.
