My name is Alex Picker and I was born in Nottingham in 1982.

I worked at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground between 1995 and 2010, where I was fortunate enough to meet some of the game’s greatest players, and used to regularly visit old players as a teenager when my Dad would drive me all around the country so I could interview them for my magazine, Wicket Maiden Quarterly, which I edited between the ages of 14 and 17.

In 2010, I moved down to Worthing in West Sussex (about 25 minutes from Brighton) to live with my then-girlfriend and now wife, Karyn, who I had met whilst trekking the Great Wall of China during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We have two beautiful daughters together and live a short walk from the sea.

In 2014, I agreed to take on the editorship of the official magazine of the Cricket Memorabilia Society, which publishes 4 editions a year for its membership.

Maiden Memorabilia was originally founded as a hobby business in 2014, having spent many years since childhood collecting cricket and football (soccer) autographs and memorabilia.

Having bought and sold thousands of items over the years, I made the decision to go full-time in April 2024, having been made unexpectedly redundant from my job of nearly ten years.

Whilst I specialise in cricket, football and other sports, I have an interest in autographs and memorabilia in many subject areas, ranging from film and television to historical and political figures.

I always put customer satisfaction above everything else. I have a long list of return customers who all trust me implicitly to deliver for them. I don’t believe in COAs as most of my autographs were signed before I was even born. I believe COAs are only relevant if I, as the seller, have witnessed the signature. However, I will always offer a full 100% refund if you’re unhappy with your item once you’ve received it and pay for return postage, as well. Can’t say fairer than that!

If you have any items for sale or are looking for a particular signature or item for yourself or as a gift, please let me know. I only put a small fraction of my items on this forum and my eBay shop (search for username 'nottspixie') and if I can’t help you myself, I will always try and steer you in the right direction.

Thanks for looking.

Alex
