Really looking forward to this on Sunday. Will be going before a trip over to Stamford Bridge to see a historic Watford win in the FA Cup. Ok that won't happen be we can dream!

If you are a dealer, please bring your Watford items!

Whats the difference between a London Fair and a Northern Fair ?

You can put £1,000 programmes on your backboards and have a chance of selling them. Very Happy

So a Blackpool Bolton Preston Blackburn Burnley Pre War v Chelsea would sell at a Northern Fair ? Err Dont think so. Shake

Yes, a pre-war Blackburn v Chelsea would sell if I didn't already have it as well as any other Blackburn pre-war.

Anybody got any?

That is a bit of a sweeping statement bazza.

I would certainly be after any Blackpool pre war that I didn't already have.

In fact this is now the main collecting sphere for me apart from reserves and youth.

So If i have a BLACKPOOL v CHELSEA Pre War for £1,000+ at the Bolton fair you would buy it ?

bisphamseasider · Joined: 02 Jun 2009 Posts: 2732 Location: Blackpool

If it completed a season, was one from a season I don't have, or was a cup tie or something unusual such as a different style cover, yes I probably would.

But if it was a run of the mill 30s programme, I could not justify paying £1000 even against Chelsea or Manchester United.

Thank you for confirming my quote.

Ive done 150+ Programme fairs north of London and very rarely sold anything on my backboards over £200, and that includes the tight fisted midlanders. I should know I am one.. Cool

Why do you bother doing fairs Baz? You moan about it all the time. It must be worth it, even just a little.

BAZZABAGGIES · Joined: 07 Jan 2011 Posts: 1920

Im not moaning Im just commenting on the truth.

In its Hey Day i used to do 35+ fairs a year now its down to single figures.

Most of the Punters have been after the same elusive programmes that dont exist or wont pay the price for years.
(Havent you) .. .. Confused

.....

...HAWTHORNS CAR PARK 7-0 ... Very Happy

Try them at £150?

I've sold very well at Northern fairs over time, but it was mainly programmes between £5 and £20 each. I never took anything post 1970 unless it was World Cup proper, or some really obscure friendly.....and they all flew out over time.

Northern non league programmes pre 1960 just flew off the shelves if priced with a view to sell, and they still do as I note from sales I've seen on ebay and at any of the major sporting auction houses. I tried to specialise in such items and used to get a healthy clientele at most fairs - Bolton apart!

Enjoyed a couple of hours at the fair today. Not lots of Watford stuff about but managed to pick some nice items off Ian Hands and John Dee.

Attendance was ok too, so hopefully the stallholders had a profitable day.
