Swansea auction signed Death Row Records shirts for club charity

What is being sold
The shirts were produced for fixtures against Holstein Kiel, VfL Bochum and Udinese and were not put on general sale. The auction includes shirts signed by the individual players who wore them, plus one signed by the full squad. Buyers should check each lot’s description. The club distinguishes match-worn items from player-issued shirts, which were prepared for a player but not worn.
How bidding and payment work
Supporters need a Swans account to bid. The auction system bids automatically in £5 increments up to the maximum entered by the buyer. Swansea say bids cannot be amended after submission. Successful bidders have 48 hours after the auction closes to pay. Official items come with a certificate of authenticity and a security hologram linked to the club’s records. The club’s announcement links to the auction and sets out the full conditions.

Where this sits
