Sejad Salihovic spent most of his career at 1899 Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, with spells at Hertha BSC, Beijing Renhe, St. Gallen and Hamburger SV, and he played for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The stock behind this page comes down to one item.
It is a 2009-11 Hoffenheim home shirt, Salihovic #23, graded 4/10, in a children’s size for 9-10 years, at around £12. That is the whole of it — no Hertha shirt, no Hamburg shirt, no Bosnia shirt.
The grade describes wear, not whether the shirt is wearable. A 4/10 on a fifteen-year-old shirt usually means real fading, bobbling or a mark you will notice, and on a printed shirt it often means the lettering has started to lift. At this price that is the trade being made.
Hoffenheim is a recent arrival in the Bundesliga, so there are few top-flight seasons of shirts to circulate at all, and printed shirts of squad players were made in small numbers even then. A children’s size surviving is not unusual: youth shirts were worn hard and thrown out, so the ones that reach resale are often the ones that were outgrown quickly.
