Where do you find your merch?

Where are the best places to buy footie/soccer collectibles? Is it all about Ebay or something else?

My dad, lol. He sells football and other sport memorabilia although most of it is done through eBay. He's got some crazy valuable match programmes in his collection.

For 'new' merchandise I generally use the club shop online but I think for more specific/older things, eBay is the way to go. Or specialist auctions, I guess, but then you're looking at paying quite a bit of money.

Ooohh...I'm glad I know you Flan

I usually go to the team websites, BUT I am so incredibly annoyed at Chelsea. I used to order stuff from their UK shop fine, but now they won't ship to US addresses anymore. And the US Chelsea shop doesn't have as much or as good stuff. So now I'm going to pay an arm and a leg to have it mailed to someone in the UK so they can turn around and mail it to me. Stupid.

Really? That sucks. Did they give any reason as to why? If they have some kind of issue with it they could at least make sure the US shop stocks the same stuff.

I'll ask my dad if he knows of any other sites you can get official stuff from or any good sellers on eBay
