About me
Hi, I’m Harm Jan, an independent expert in signed sports memorabilia with over 18 years of experience in this niche market. My first encounter with signed sports memorabilia was purely by chance — in 2007, while working on a project in London that involved building a global football (soccer) memorabilia webshop. That’s when I first discovered the magic of a signed shirt — beautifully framed, and bringing you closer to your sports hero than ever before.
What sets me apart is my independent role. I don’t just sell from my own inventory; I help collectors worldwide find their perfect item — even if I don’t stock it myself. I know the market inside out, understand which brands to trust, and help clients avoid the many fakes out there.
I’m based in the Netherlands and bring a distinctly European perspective to this global industry. While much of the memorabilia market is centered around American sports like baseball and basketball, my expertise lies in football (soccer) — the world’s biggest sport, with a fast-growing presence in the memorabilia world. Especially in terms of authentication and high-end presentation, there’s still a lot of untapped potential. That’s where I come in.
My mission is simple: to protect fans from scams and to help them invest with confidence. Every authentic item tells a story — and I’m here to make sure it’s the right one.
