New York Cosmos v Coventry City 1979

[TheSorter!]

Does anyone have an idea of the value of this programme? Is it rare?

Sorry I can't answer your question but I'd love th see the team line ups for the game. I assume its Pele, Beckenbaur etc for Cosmos?

Pele's last game for Cosmos was in 1977, so he wouldn't have been there, Beckenbauer was still playing though.

Yip, his last game was Cosmos versus Santos in New York, 1st October 1977.

As to the original question, I seen this programme on sale on eBay here in the USA the other week and I think it sold for around $35. I don’t think any of this style / era ( late 70’s) are of particular value, possibly the usual Manchester United exception as those sell for more. That seemed like the going rate for this style / era of programme.

I’ve sold a couple of them ( Cosmos versus Southampton and versus Celtic for $25-$35). In fact I have a Johan Neeskens autographed Cosmos versus Southampton Program that I’m either going to put up on this site or on eBay with a link on here with a few other nice articles for sale probably later today if I get some time.

The early 70’s, 60’s and of course 50’s have much more value in general.

I was convinced Pele was there later than 77 but have just confirmed myself. Mad that he scored more than a goal every other game for them. It was pretty rubbish standard on the whole though
