Sjaak Swart signed this Fanshop Authentic AFC Ajax shirt, number 8, from the 2024-2025 season, size XL, at a signing session in April 2025 in Amsterdam. Beckett graded the signature 10 out of 10, independently verifiable through the authenticator's own records.

Ajax's 2024-25 commemorative kit in red and white, number 8

Adidas made this shirt as the club's 125th Anniversary commemorative edition for the 2024-25 season, honouring 125 years of Ajax's history, in red and white with long sleeves and an anniversary tag sewn inside. Swart's signature sits on the number on the back. Produced within that season rather than reissued at a later date, it arrives in mint condition with tags attached.

Authentication by Beckett

Beckett authenticated this signature and awarded it a grade of 10 out of 10. The shirt carries one Beckett medallion hologram sticker, paired with paperwork that includes a certificate of authenticity, a letter of authentication, and documentation confirming the signing was witnessed. A collector can look up the certificate number in Beckett's database and compare it against the sticker on the shirt.

Signed in Amsterdam, April 2025

Walkouts documented this signing on 10 April 2025 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, filing it under proof code 25SSW20019508. The session is pictured with red-and-white Ajax number 8 shirts laid on a table, a grey-haired man in a grey suit beside them, the club crest visible. A second photograph from the session, part of Walkouts' own record, shows the signed shirts together.

Earned 31 caps for the Netherlands and scored 10 goals

Swart's 31 caps and 10 goals for the Netherlands sit alongside a club career that ran from 1956 to 1973, closing with 603 official matches, the club record behind his nickname, Mr Ajax. He played as a wing half across a Netherlands career spanning 1960 to 1972. Born on 3 July 1938, the man who set that record put his own signature to this shirt.

Beckett certificate, letter and signing video

You receive the original 2024-25 fanshop shirt with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of authentication from Beckett. Photographs of the signing and the video of the signing come with it, the video sent to you without a watermark after purchase.
