Old Programmes

[Matt1878]

Recently found a box of old programmes, mainly from the 80’s from what I’ve seen so far. Anyone also got some collections or know anything about rare ones to keep an eye out for?

....i suspect 1980s isn’t ‘old’ in respect of match programmes held by folk on here.

Sad fact is I remember me mum putting my 1960's early 70's programmes in a Church rummage sale. Couldn't believe it.

Got a few from 60’s and 70’s but bulk are the 80’s. Just interested if anyone had more knowledge on the subject than I did

Programme collecting was a big thing back when the only place you could obtain one was by being in the ground for the match. They were seen originally as 'proof' that you had attended a game. By the50s or 60s (I think), certainly by 70s you could also buy them outside the stadium. Later you could buy them in certain shops. Now of course you can subscribe and get every programme delivered to your door.
That is why the real 'collecters items' are mainly the pre-war ones.

I have about 1000 homes and aways from about 74/75 to 2000 for any blue interested in starting a collection. They are not worth much individually as I have sold off all the older ones so if anyone wants to buy them just to make a quick profit they would be disappointed.
I would be open to any reasonable offer as I need the space.

Yes the older and rare programmes are the ones that lead to money, ones like New Brighton when they were in the league, there was a Scottish cup tie that was postponed a record number of times in the 1962-63 season that had collectors scrambling for it, things like that, even the Everton 1933 final only had a price tag of £60 in good condition.
In the future if you’ve got a programme where Schneiderlin played and broke sweat in, you’ll make a mint !!!
