I worked at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground between 1995 and 2010, where I was fortunate enough to meet some of the game’s greatest players, and used to regularly visit old players as a teenager when my Dad would drive me all around the country so I could interview them for my magazine, Wicket Maiden Quarterly, which I edited between the ages of 14 and 17. In 2010, I moved down to Worthing in West Sus
sex (about 25 minutes from Brighton) to live with my then-girlfriend and now wife, Karyn, who I had met whilst trekking the Great Wall of China during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We have two beautiful daughters together and live a short walk from the sea. In 2014, I agreed to take on the editorship of the official magazine of the Cricket Memorabilia Society, which publishes 4 editions a year for its membership. Maiden Memorabilia was originally founded as a hobby business in 2014, having spent many years since childhood collecting cricket and football (soccer) autographs and memorabilia. Having bought and sold thousands of items over the years, I made the decision to go full-time in April 2024, having been made unexpectedly redundant from my job of nearly ten years. Whilst I specialise in cricket, football and other sports, I have an interest in autographs and memorabilia in many subject areas, ranging from film and television to historical and political figures. I always put customer satisfaction above everything else. I have a long list of return customers who all trust me implicitly to deliver for them. I don’t believe in COAs as most of my autographs were signed before I was even born. I believe COAs are only relevant if I, as the seller, have witnessed the signature. However, I will always offer a full 100% refund if you’re unhappy with your item once you’ve received it and pay for return postage, as well. If you have any items for sale or are looking for a particular signature or item for yourself or as a gift, please let me know. I only put a small fraction of my items on this forum and my eBay shop (search for username 'nottspixie') and if I can’t help you myself, I will always try and steer you in the right direction. Thanks for looking.
