[Saltcoatsblu]

Seen this on ebay, jeez i wish i had the cash for it

This 9ct gold and enamel medal offers you the chance to own a unique piece of Rangers history. It was awarded to midfielder Andrew Sharp after Rangers won the 1898-99 Scottish league with a 100 percent record, winning all 18 league games. This is the only occasion such a fete has been achieved. It comes in its original fitted presentation case and is one of the rarest pieces of Rangers history available. Items like this do not get offered very often. There is a buy it now price it you want to avoid the auction process. The medal is also advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to end the auction. I will post only to the UK with adequate insurance costs that will need a signature. Collection in person is available as is personal delivery if close enough for expenses cost from east Scotland. Happy bidding and good luck. Any questions please don't hesitate.

 

[Big Bawz Baloo]

Aye, Messi.

 

[Crouchy]

If that’s real, that’s amazing.

Hopefully ends up in the right hands.

 

[Hurleyreyes]

Club should buy it.

 

[Chas]

Can any of the follow follow detectives confirm if this is genuine, it would be great to own this.

 

[Skoosh1872]

Club should be buying this kind of thing for the trophy room.

 

[Markyp]

Surely Club 1872 or the board could buy it?

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

If the club do not buy this, something is far wrong. Hopefully they know about it and contact the seller. If it is genuine, it deserves a place in the trophy room.

 

[Clarky1690]

Is this 100% genuine ? If so I would be interested

Don't think the club give a shit about things like this, i mind when our first championship medal went on sale, the seller was the granddaughter of the player, she offered the club first refusal, but they didn't even bother to reply to her, hence the reason it went on ebay

 

[gmacdon76]

it was sold at Christies auction for GBP 2115 in 2001... http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/a-9ct-gold-and-enamel-medal-the-2011622-details.aspx

 

[jimbear]

Club should buy it.

It should be in the Trophy Room with a view to eventually going into the club museum when we eventually have one.

 

[Liviger1984]

I've saved 8 grand...Think it's worth the investment??

 

[BobbyShearer]

If it were a pre 1900 medal alone it would be good but to be from that season is fantastic.

I really hope items like these are bought by bears who would loan them to the club when we get our museum.
(Whenever that might be. sigh.)

 

[Bearskin]

This should be at the very least be loaned to the club to display in the trophy room. Anybody know if there any moves afoot for a sympathetic buyer to take ownership. Would be really interested to find out if anybody knows

 

[earnger]

Would love to own that, what a rare piece of our history. Might sell a kidney.

 

[Bill the Butcher]

The club need to buy this, need to.

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

FF has raised more than this on occasion. If someone spoke to the seller and told them it would be loaned to the club and asked them to hold it for a short while, set up a fundraising page, I am sure it could be bought and loaned with the proviso it was given a wee space in the trophy room. It would take up a few square inches.

 

[earnger]

It has a bid, good bear as well.

 

[Sam English]

This item is a very rare piece of Rangers history and quite sad that it's appeared for auction on ebay. This item should be bought by the club and displayed in the Trophy Room.

 

[Ticketybloo]

The Club should be after this piece of our history. Even Club 1872. Otherwise it might be lost for sometime.

 

[Ranger]

It has a bid, good bear as well.

He's currently bidding on 3 items, the medal, scaffolding and construction tools.

If I bought this, the last place I would loan it to is back to Rangers, especially if the club couldn't be bothered to buy it.

 

[Bearskin]

I understand what your saying but sometimes it just may be a case that the correct person was not aware of the availability. I would never have know about it were it not for being on here and I don't do any other social media. Reading the posts above it seems that it has caught the interest of those that have our clubs best interests at heart. I just think it should be on display for all supporters to appreciate.

 

[Chester Perry]

Club should buy it.

This all the way!

 

[earnger]

If I was fortunate enough to win this item then it would never be sold in my lifetime and would be passed on to my son. I would have no problem loaning it to our club to display in the Trophy room and hopefully later in the clubs museum. Wish me luck.

You could be right. I'm sure Rangers are now aware and that someone from the club will contact the seller tomorrow and buy this piece of our history.

Yes indeed. Good luck. This has to go into the correct hands.

 

[PrivateAye72]

Buy it, give it to the club in exchange for 2 seats in the directors box at 2 games of your choosing... Very much worth it.

Are you the current bidder or are you planning to?

Think the seller may sell now for an agreed price. Ill post when I know.

Well I do wish you luck and I cannot wait to see it up close and personal in a club museum.

It’s people like yourself who make me deeply proud of our club and all the people who love it.

 

[earnger]

I now own the item, really nice guy who was selling, he contacted the club a couple of weeks ago to give them first offer but not interested. Ill post some better pics after I pick it up tomorrow.

Well done earnger, can't get my head around the club turning their nose up at this.

Brilliant it went to a bear and not to some collector with no connection to the club

Well done bro....do I get a finders commission

Wasn't even going to open the thread as I thought it was someone looking for a sub. Glad I did though and thanks for the heads up. Now going to persuade Mrs Earnger it was a good purchase.

 

[jnloyal]

Well done earnger, can't get my head around the club turning their nose up at this.

Got to agree seems very strange. I suppose if they have one in the trophy room you could understand but what a piece of history from the real invincibles.

 

[thepower]

Absolutely tremendous. Well done @earnger

 

[Buzz07]

Great to see it going to a good Bear.
A very special piece of our history.

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

Happy ending.

A bit of a downer that nobody at the club wanted to look at buying it but at least we know it is in safe hands.

 

[Spinning Blue]

It's sad the club can't be arsed

Agree and this was my first thought. Why would the club not be interested? Congratulations earnger.

 

[CrunchBear]

Bit of a problem with the club not buying and us not having a museum. If we had a museum we'd be able to hire curators who's job it would be to source items like this and bring it into our collection. Without a museum, likely there'd be nobody within the club putting the case forward for things like this.
