Signed Wesley Sneijder Ajax 2004-05 | Beckett Grade 9

Wesley Sneijder signed this AFC Ajax Fanshop Authentic shirt from the 2004-2005 season, number 18. Beckett graded the signature 9 out of 10, following a signing session in Utrecht in January 2025, and the collector can confirm that grade through Beckett's own records.

Ajax's 2004-05 home kit in red and white, number 18

Adidas, the brand that still supplies Ajax's kit today, manufactured this red and white home shirt during the 2004-05 season itself, the same season it represents. Producing it within that season gives it its own standing as a genuine piece of collector value, alongside the signature. The shirt itself is a size M, signed on the back, and in excellent condition.

Authentication by Beckett

Beckett authenticated this signature with paperwork that includes a certificate of authenticity, a letter of authentication, and confirmation that the signing session was witnessed. Beckett graded the signature 9 out of 10 and sealed it with its own label, an iridescent hologram disc sticker fixed to the shirt itself. A collector can look up this certificate in Beckett's public online database.

Signed in Utrecht, January 2025

This shirt was signed on 3 January 2025, in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and Walkouts logged it under proof code 25WSN20015918. A photograph from that session shows marker in hand, mid-signature, the moment caught on camera as Sneijder signed. That record, the date, the place, and the proof code, is Walkouts' own account of this Ajax shirt from the 2004-05 season, kept separate from its certificate.

Netherlands all-time most-capped player, 134 caps

Sneijder was a young Ajax midfielder in 2004-05, already capped at UEFA Euro 2004 with the Netherlands after rising through the Dutch under-19 and under-21 sides. He went on to become the Netherlands' all-time most-capped player, with 134 caps. This shirt is a genuine piece produced in that same season, and its authenticated signature gives a collector a direct, verifiable line to the player at that early stage.
