Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if this is the right section of the forum, but I'm looking to get a bit of insight and some honest opinions on the value/rarity of two squad-signed Notts shirts I have in my collection. I'm trying to figure out exactly what I've got here, and I know this is the best place to ask.

1. 2007/08 Home Shirt (Precision Training / Medoc)

• Details: Full squad signatures from that League Two survival season under McParland.

• Provenance: It has handwriting on the tag stating it came "via Jason Lee, ex Forest and County", so it has a bit of direct player context tying it to that exact year.

2. 2018/19 Home Shirt (Puma - Yellow Trim / Relegation Season)

• Details: This one is a possible match-worn/match-prepared piece. It has "Tootle 2" pressed on the back, along with the official EFL League Two patches on the sleeves.

• Sponsor: The front-of-shirt sponsor is Premier Facilities Maintenance. Given that the club was running those rotating monthly sponsors around that era, I'm trying to pin down if this sponsor puts it squarely in a specific month/game for Tootle before the drop.

Both are in great condition with clear signatures.

Does anyone have a good idea of what these typically fetch among Notts collectors these days? Also, if anyone remembers the exact months or match timelines for that Premier Facilities Maintenance sponsor on the 18/19 kit, I’d love to know so I can piece together the history.

Cheers in advance for any help!

I can message a fan that I believe can help you, with regards to value I think it's more about what people are willing to pay. Rather than them holding value, I have a signed home shirt by the full squad from the season we were relegated, and I couldn't even gift away. I had another, which had been donated to charity and a person came forward asking me to sell it for him. I just bought it to help them but nobody really seems all that interested in owning them. I gave one to my son's collection, and I gave the other to a friend.

The 07/08 might be of more interest to people, since I can't imagine many are around. Whereas Alan Hardy distributed signed shirts to people and charities as freely as a dentist gives out sugar free lollipops.

Thanks, really appreciate that — and thank you for the honest insight on value as well. That’s really useful context.

Just for a bit more context on the Tootle shirt, it’s from April 2019 with the Premier Facilities Maintenance sponsor, has Sky Bet sleeve patches, and “Tootle 2” on the back (size M), so I’m wondering if it might be a match-issued/prepared one from the last few league games.

If you’d be willing to ask the fan you mentioned, I’d really appreciate it 😁 I 'd also be happy to provide photos 🙂

The Match worn shirt I am told would be about £50-60, but both shirts are pretty much as I said open to pricing from the potential buyer. In the future, it might be worth more, as for the other shirt. I was told very similar, that it would need to be someone who really wants it that would pay above it. I have seen shirts sold for £100-150, usually with people more over the odds to get this because they want the shirt for their own collection or it's a reputable player. Nothing against Matt Tootle, I loved his time at Notts but a lot of fans blow hot and cold towards him.

I believe the white shirt worn by Jon Stead in the match against Aston Villa sold for a considerable amount.

I know when Notts have run an auction for signed shirts, that they tend to be the only way to gain more value from people. Matt Tootle may be interested in the shirt, but it's worth hanging onto.
