Very true, one could look at something like that as an investment.
Who knows what it could be worth in a few years? Especially given the team it represents and the signatures on it. IMHO sports memorabilia of this nature seems to hold its value quite well.

It's adverts. Prices there never make sense and someone will offer him €10 and a half eaten Mars Bar for it anyway.

I might offer 20 euro myself and see what reaction I get!

Are you guys kidding?

Scanning left to right, it appears to chart the evolution of man, but oddly the more simian types show up on the right.

Also, how many pubs and clubs are in possession of something similar to this? How many charity raffles have pawned off the likes of it? Unless this particular piece has some rare and exceptional association with the team, it's surely of relatively low value.

It's worst crime however, is to somehow make Deccie look like Mark Knopfler or Theo Paphitis.

Its signed by the entire squad.... That's it's universal selling point.......
Not saying its worth a grand, but its definitely considerably more valuable than an unsigned photo of a bunch of liginds.

It seems to be an original painting (not a print or photo) which makes it fairly unique.

The artist has exhibited (I see where Frank McCourt opened an exhibition of her paintings in New York) so she must be reasonably well known.
