Pass them on to a charity shop?
I tried that with my Fathers programmes but they wouldn’t touch them, that was in Hailsham/ Eastbourne.
Got even less chance up here in Northants.

Charity shops aren’t junk shops! You can’t give this stuff away. It’s for the bin. Nobody really wants, it’s certainly has no commercial value. Constantly amazed so many people think these things are worth something. Try emptying parents house and even furniture purchased for thousands is worthless. It’s costs to get rid of, it’s the cost of living through the consumer age. Millions of tonnes of mass produced replicated shite basically. We’re all guilty of chucking on the loft and decades later…it’s still worthless! :)

Summed up perfectly about clearing my fathers house last year.
He was a collector of all sorts of shite, thought it might be worth something in the future.
Cost me over £2k to get rid of it all as charity shops wouldn’t touch it.

You are correct, I was not looking to make loads of money out off it ,just seeing if anyone wanted the odd program or two and any other bits and pieces.

No, wasn’t suggesting you were. More making point people assume charities and even free to collect will find a home. But there typically aren’t these days, because of the consumer age. Refuse is the only solution sadly, because we all owned and ‘consumed’ too much. Me included!

Some Albion items from Premier League era (e.g. paper match tickets) do have some value due to massive global fan base of opponents.

Am in the process of chucking out Albion related paper stuff that's going in the recycling, including flyers from the war years (Bournemouth protest, Walk on Archer's home, Hereford walk out), Goldstone Gamble tickets, copies of Gulls Eye, ASMS, a full A3 sized Argus billboard poster about the takeover collapse. Probably a question for the club, but I'm assuming they'd have most of it in their archives already. Just seems a shame to 'bin it.'

You will be wasting your time contacting the club - I doubt they even have an "archive".

It is the Brighton and Hove Albion Heritage Society you should contact.

If I still lived in the UK I would probably have been interested myself, but I don't so can't help you.
 




Out of interest, what is considered the most desirable/valuable bit of Albion memorabilia to collectors?
A first edition Omsung Phine
