Some items are worth a second look.
And that's absolutely the case with today's item.
It's a signed photograph of Nelson Mandela.
Signed boldly as President of South Africa.
And presented in stunning, display-ready condition.
Earlier this month I had numerous enquiries about another Mandela signed photo which had just arrived in stock.
That example sold immediately, and I know several collectors who were sorry to miss out on it.
So due to that interest, I'm highlighting this piece again.
Because if you're looking to add Nelson Mandela to your collection...
You won't find a nicer signed photo than this one.
A truly great man.
This is an exceptional Nelson Mandela signed photograph.A portrait which captures all his wisdom, strength and serenity.
And it features a first-rate signature, signed boldly by Mandela in black marker pen above his portrait.
It's a photograph any collector can hang proudly on their wall.
The glossy image measures 10 x 8 inches, and is in very good condition.
Mandela wears one of his famous 'Madiba' patterned silk shirts, which became his trademark.
“I don’t think he wanted to look like every other world leader, dressed in a grey or black suit,” said designer Desré Buirski, who made shirts for Mandela.
And his choice went deeper than a simple fashion statement.
As the story goes, Mandela was once asked by a young girl: "Excuse me, but why do you wear a shirt like that?"
To which he replied with a smile: "You must remember that I was in jail for 27 years. I want to feel freedom!"
Why is this date important?
The date of this photograph is also highly significant.Because just 19 days after he signed this photo...
Nelson Mandela retired as President of South Africa.
It was the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, as he dedicated his time to philanthropy.
As with any other former political leader, the most sought-after Mandela autographs are those he signed as President - between 1994 and 1999.
That's a relatively small window of time, which makes them far scarcer.
But luckily for you, this example just falls into that category. The date certainly adds both historic and financial value.
And the context makes it all the more meaningful to own.
Major national importance.
Nelson Mandela is one of the most revered figures in modern history.He's admired on a global scale, and the market for his memorabilia reflects that popularity with collectors.
The value of his autograph has grown by 817% since 2000.
And given his lasting historic legacy, it's a trend that will surely continue.
Last month a court halted a major auction of Mandela memorabilia, to protect the items for South Africa's cultural heritage.
We've seen the same thing happen with Gandhi memorabilia.
Their memorabilia and personal artefacts are of national importance.
So wealthy collectors and museums seek to repatriate these items, and they become harder to source on the open market.
This in turn increases their scarcity and their value.
It's a steady process, which lends itself to long-term investment.
But today Gandhi signed photographs can sell for upwards of £25,000.
And given the close similaritites between the two men, I can see the value of Nelson Mandela signed items following suit in the years ahead.
