Phil “The Power” Taylor Signed 2018 Shirt

Philip Douglas Taylor (born 13 August 1960) is an English retired professional darts player, nicknamed The Power. He is widely regarded as the greatest darts player of all time, having won 214 professional tournaments, including 85 major titles and a record 16 World Championships. He won eight consecutive World Championships from 1995 to 2002 and reached 14 consecutive finals from 1994 to 2007 (both records).

He won the PDC Player of the Year award six times (2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012) and has twice been nominated for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, in 2006 and 2010, finishing as runner-up in the latter. He was the first person to hit two nine-dart finishes in one match, in the 2010 Premier League Darts final against James Wade. He hit a record 11 televised nine-dart finishes (and 22 overall).

Taylor played in competitions organised by the British Darts Organisation (BDO) until 1993. Amidst growing disenchantment with the BDO, he was among 16 top players who broke away to form their own organisation, the World Darts Council, now known as the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC).

Just before the final of the 2018 World Championship, Taylor confirmed his retirement from professional darts. He is still active on the exhibition circuit and signed to an equipment deal with Target.

Autograph It Now has been involved with the trading & selling of sports, Film, TV & Historical memorabilia since 2006, in these 10 years we have built up trusting relationships with a select few suppliers who conduct private signing sessions, as well as conducting our own private signing sessions with some of the biggest names in sport. We provide Certificate of Authenticities with all of our items, these include a signing photo from the session (where possible), our Office address, AFTAL dealer number & Product Code.

A direct quote from the AFTAL website reads: "Inclusion in AFTAL is proof of each dealer’s commitment and professional competence. The Code of Conduct commits each AFTAL approved dealer to providing authentic items, with all the required knowledge, qualification and diligence that that may demand, and is the best possible proof any collector could have when looking to buy authentic signed memorabilia."

What does being a “AFTAL approved Dealer” mean?
The “Autograph Fair Trade Association” ( AFTAL ) was formed by a group of acknowledged autograph dealers, with the intention of stamping out the market in fake items and ensuring that the customer is able to find dealers that they can trust. Inclusion in AFTAL is proof of each dealer’s commitment and professional competence. The Code of Conduct commits each AFTAL approved dealer to providing authentic items, with all the required knowledge, qualification and diligence that that may demand, and is the best possible proof any collector could have when looking to buy authentic signed memorabilia. Simply put, there is no reason as to why any honest dealer should not become an AFTAL approved dealer, but many reasons why some could never become an AFTAL approved dealer.
