For those who purchased the shirt it should retain it\’s value and possibly increase over the years so as well as being close to a fans heart it is also a sound investment. Fans who attended an event and managed to obtained a signed garment congratulations, you have a captured a piece with monetary value but the dedicated fan should keep it.

Homeowners can place the framed top somewhere inside the house. A collector will most likely have a room dedicated to these treasures and a piece of wall space is ideal. For those people who don\’t have a dedicated room it could be a perfect time to start one. It\’s a great hobby to pursue. Otherwise picking a suitable part of a TV room is a good choice with the partners consent of course if applicable.
