Old Matchday Programmes

Post by RalphCoatesComb » Sun Oct 20, 2019 11:03 am

I think that the question has been asked before, but I can't find the thread.

Is there a market for Burnley matchday programmes from previous years?

I have hundreds and "down-sizing" means that some things have to go. :cry:

There doesn't seem to be as much interest as there was a few years ago when I started collecting them.

60s and 70s programmes can be picked up for £1 each these days.

Put them on Ebay and see if you sell as a job lot i expect weight of parcel to be hefty and costly

Postage costs are very prohibitive nowadays. I find local Fscebook buying and selling groups are useful.

Be interested in anything from pre-war through to the mid 50s if you’ve got anything...

Pre-War? Afraid I'm not that old. Unless you mean The Falklands :lol:

Thanks for the advice folks. Looks like local Facebook Groups it is then (Or the Tip :( )

Do you buy by weight or by season??

Just look through them before bundling, ask Ct he was big friends with Boxcar Brian, so he’ll probs be able to tell you if you’ve got anything special. I know the Peterborough abandoned game and single sheet for re-arranged game used to go for big money. Years ago... so doubt that is worthless for one.

Edit- sorry quoted wrong post

Hi, what period are we talking here? Are they just homes or also aways? Possibly interested depending on when they are from.

They span from 1970 through to this season. Predominantly home matches.

Had a quick shufti through some earlier but got way-laid looking at teams that included Coates, James, Fletcher, Newton... the list goes on... but it doesn't catalogue them :(

I am a genuine collector (not a dealer) and have some gaps post war. (pre war are too rare and too expensive). Guessing you just wanted to get rid I am prepared to offer to buy as a job lot around 40p each. Sure take out obvious really rare ones. But I don't want to end up with a load of 'home to Port Vale August 1993' types already have 11 of them. I have used Steve on the Market to help fill gaps. Talk to him Steve G

MDWat, I've still got a lot of home and always from 50 onwards. I was waiting for you to get back in touch some time, to discuss more of what you need. Hopefully you've still got my e mail address, if you want to discuss it further.

If they're not of any value to sell.

What about giving them to Burnley library or similar, so fans can read them for free whenever they wanted.

Interested to read this thread
I would be interested in picking up any programmes in bulk
They would go to Sabden St Mary's Junior School I used to teach there and the kids loved them , lots of young Burnley fans at the school
Encourage the next generation
