Title: Signed England 2011 ODI bat
Post by: Ryan on April 04, 2012, 03:29:10 PM

Didn't know where to post this so hopefully it will be OK in the bats section.

Should be receiving my 1st bit of cricket memorabilia tomorrow if all goes well and thought i'd share some pictures.

How much did you get it for? :)

Too much lol, apparently they go for around £750 in a display case. Although its certified ECB one so i suppose its worth it and the money did go to a good cause.

I'll update the pics when it arrives.

I think that was his way of saying a lot, but I'd rather not talk about it lol.

Just an update on this, finally got round to having a display box handmade. Eventually went through the furniture part of the company i work for. Which was a bonus as i didnt think they would be interested.

Its been made out of solid ash with a mirrored back. Sorry about the poor quality of pictures.

To be honest it didn't cost that much, I was lucky that the display box was manufactured at cost  :D Just cant wait to get it up on the wall, sad i know lol
