February’s Auction Action is a little bit like a team with a solid starting eleven, that’s a bit lacking in depth when you look at the bench. Just eight Hull City shirt sales in the shortest month, but despite it being a fairly quiet month the listings we do have to review should keep your kit taste buds tingling… (writes Mike Carter aka @MikeyCarter90)

For the third time in as many months there has been a matchworn 1995/96 away shirt listed. This time it was a short sleeved #12 substitute shirt and the bidding finished at £256.11, which is around the fee paid for a #15 shirt (£280), but significantly down on the £454 paid for a long sleeved #13, both in December 2022. Are long sleeves worth a £200 premium, well that’s a subjective call and we know the owner of the #12 is very pleased with his long sleever.

This ‘super’ Matty Fryatt 2012/13 away shirt was only listed for a few hours before someone paid the £120.60 asking price for it. The shirt was located in Ukraine, so the visibility on the final price may fluctuate. I was surprised to see this one end so quickly, but we’ve often said that a standard matchworn shirt around the £120 price mark is fair for all parties.

This 2015/16 David Meyler issued/worn home shirt was listed as an auction starting at £99.99, however it was secured by a best offer. I am inclined to believe that it was above the start price. We have seen this shirt previously on Auction Action as it sold for £70.77 back in November.

Remember back in January’s Auction Action where we covered a 2018/19 Jarrod Bowen home shirt? Well, it sold for £291, though it appears that the buyer didn’t follow through on the agreement as it was listed again in February by the same seller. This time it was listed as a buy it now at £285, instead of as an auction with a low start price. The sale of this shirt occurred much quicker than we anticipated.

Another shirt that wasn’t around for long was this 2021/22 Andy Cannon FA Cup shirt match issued for the visit of Everton. It was listed at £100 and sold under eBay’s best offer option. This is also another shirt we have seen sold in the past, back in October 2022 where it sold for £120. Three shirt sales that we’ve covered in the past, all available again during the same month. That might be a record!

It was tough to find some quality replica shirt listings to fill out this months’ Auction Action, but I did find this 1982/83 home shirt which sold for £42. Now even though it is small in size, I feel someone has picked up a bargain here.

This next shirt is a 1995-97 home shirt by Super League that was listed with a buy it now price of £169.99. It sold in the final hours of the final day of the month using the best offer option, which meant it just squeezed in February’s edition, like an 11^th hour loan signing!

The last shirt we’ll cover this month is this 2014/15 home shirt, printed with the name of current Scotland Captain, Andy Robertson. The shirt is size XL, so that removed any possibility of it being match issued. Another tell-tale sign is the see-through number set. This shirt originated from outside the UK (Hungary) and sold for around £60.30.
