Very surprised how high this one is going.... its the most I have ever seen a Crewe post war FAC programme selling for so can any Plymouth fans (or other Crewe fans) share any knowledge on the rarity of this one...

It may be because Sportingold have been selling similar vintage Plymouth programmes recently, and in their forthcoming December sale. Certainly won't have hindered it's price.

wow - it went for over 120 quid.... I guess it will be a while before I get the one in my collection....

Is it a rare programme if you will excuse my ignorance and particularly as I am sitting on a copy?

Four people bid over £70 for it. Put yours up with a Buy It Now price on it of say £90.

That was the surprising thing to me... Crewe progs from that season rarely go more than a tenner yet there were so many people willing to go that high... I was not one of them by the way! I have to think its Plymouth collectors because I'm not sure there are that many active Crewe collectors willing to pay that much. Con - if you are willing to part with it I would follow Johns advice and see what happens.
