Signed Prints and Limited Editions

At Sporting Strokes we offer fantastic prints of sporting legends and occasions. Because of the high quality of the prints we like to make them that little bit more special.
To do this we have extremely limited runs (in some cases of only 50) of the prints, signed not only by the artist but also the featured sports stars.
Each limited edition is extremely strict. We guarantee that none of the prints will feature in any other limited run in the form they are described.
Most of our limited edition prints are signed both by the subject and the artist in pencil in the bottom margin (see the prints as examples). All limited editions are hand-signed and numbered by the artist making each print totally unique.
We have also acquired the signatures of some sports stars on a small number of the limited edition prints. These signed prints remain part of the Limited Edition series but are only available in small numbers. These prints are usually signed in black, blue or silver sharpie (see examples below).
All prints come with a Certificate of Authenticity and where possible a photograph of the star signing the prints. All signed prints are obtained at proper signing sessions where the stars take time to sign them - not in the street or through car windows.

To date we have prints signed by 18 international footballers (10 England (including FOUR World Cup Winners), 1 Scotland, 3 England U-21, 1 Argentina, 1 Wales U-21 and 1 Canada) and an England international cricketer
