About Us
Not Just A Game Prints was set up by Gary Best in March 2002 to commission and sell limited edition prints which have been personally signed by the world's greatest sporting icons.
Our current range of around 20 prints feature personally signed prints of sporting stars who are, or who have been, the very best of their sporting generation. Most of our prints feature the work of the acclaimed UK artist John Ireland whose illustrations have featured in many best-selling books and magazines. You can read more about John in the section "John Ireland - Artist"
Which Sporting Heroes have signed for Not Just A Game Prints?
Our signed print range pays special homage to established heroes such as Sir Steve Redgrave, Lester Piggott, Seve Ballesteros and George Best - but we are also delighted to present prints signed by today's heroes such as Jonny Wilkinson and Martin Johnson who are still competing and who are mesmerising us week in and week out with their dedication and extraordinary talents.
We therefore offer all sports fans a select range of personally signed prints which are timeless and highly collectible. If you had like to be the first to hear of our new prints, as soon as they become available, simply register to receive our quarterly e-Newsletter which will update you on our new prints and warn you which prints are close to sell-out.
Where Do We Sell Our Prints?
We advertise in a wide range of sports brochures and magazines and most of our print sales are to our own customer database and to carefully selected trade galleries. We also have a small number of retail partners such as The Rugby Store at Twickenham which sell a select range of our prints.
Have Any Of Our Prints Sold Out?
Personally signed, limited edition prints can become the antiques of tomorrow. Already several prints in our range have completely sold out, so it is always best not to delay if you wish to purchase the most popular prints.
If you register with us to receive our e-Newsletter, we will update you on which prints are running close to sell-out.
How Can I Guarantee That My Print Has Been Personally Signed?
All of the signed, limited edition prints which we commission and produce are the result of direct, formal
agreements between Not Just A Game Prints and the players and their agents. Where a print is advertised as personally signed, we guarantee that the signature is a genuine, original signature by the player featured. Where stated we also send a photograph of the sports hero signing their set of prints along with a letter of authenticity.
How Many Prints Have Been Personally Signed?
At Not Just A Game Prints, we aim to publish around ten personally signed, limited edition print commissions each year. Most of these print commissions will produce a limited edition run of only 500 prints, which are then handsigned by the player featured.
