[Albion] Selling old football programmes

[Blue&WhiteSea]

Where is the best place to try and offload old Brighton programmes and other memorabilia these days? Is it still eBay or are there alternatives?
Got to make some space in the loft.

how old?

 

[Blue&WhiteSea]

Mostly 70/80s I think, been a while since I looked

Old football programmes used to be worth a fair bit of money once upon a time. Not an any more alas. I had to bin a lot of mine last year when space at home became an issue.

I've got the Brighton 2 Bristol Rovers 8 one somewhere! I really should try and destroy all memories of that day!

I sold a seasons worth on eBay and it only went for a couple of quid. Wasn't worth the hassle.

Do they still have programme sellers fairs? If they do, this would be the best place to sell them.

To be honest, there's not much of a market for programmes from the 70s and 80s.

I've got all the homes, apart from a few of the friendlies, and most of the aways.

Have you got a list?

What about the 1910 Charity Shield programme? Worthless?

If you had that, you could pretty much name your price

Are there still any in existence?

Pretty much what I expected people to say - Don't have a list at the moment but can't imagine there is much good stuff left in there as I had a spate of trying to ebay some a few years ago and these are what's left!

I know of only ONE Brighton collector who has one. I guess there must be some Villa collectors who have it.

The programme itself covers two games, ours on the Monday, and Chelsea v QPR (a League match) two days before, so collectors from those clubs may have one.

Add in 108 years, 2 World Wars and the fact that it's basically a small item printed on flimsy paper, it's unlikely there's too many knocking around

For Brighton collectors, it really is the Holy Grail of programmes.

OK then, following Wenger's bid in their Suarez debacle - £40,000,001.

(Unfortunately, I haven't got it).

This is what the cover looks like, if anyone wants to keep an eye out at the next car Boot Sale!!!

In all seriousness, a Brighton collector paid over £1,200 for an Albion v Southampton programme from 1906.

That was just a 'normal' Southern League game, so the programme from possibly the most incredible result in our entire history would fetch SIGNIFICANTLY more than that.

Try as you might you'll never succeed. With ITV's Big Match cameras there, and the commentary by Brian Moore, it will forever be on YouTube. Thank you so much Smash n' Grab, you b*******!!!

My mums nagging me to pick up mine from her house along with a ZX spectrum a Grandstand space invader game thing and a few other bits.
