Boardroom edition programmes - is this a collectible thing?

[Dorking]

I know there have always been the odd VIP programmes, with tassles and the like.

And of course the Wembley hardback editions for cup finals.

Last season I got hold of a Brighton v Palace 'boardroom' edition. All it is is a sleeve that goes over the normal programme.

I just also picked up one for this season for Everton



I'm not going to specifically hunt for these, but wondered if anyone was obsessively collecting them, as they might a different cover version etc?

HI.DORKING.I HAVE ONE OR TWO CHELSEA ONES..I LIKE YOU DOINT GO OUT OF MY WAY TO COLLECT THEM..A COUPLE OF COLLECTORS ALWAYS ADVERTISING BOARDROOM TEAM SHETTS FROM HOME CHELSEA MATCHES. AT A PREMUIM RATE..DO NOT SEEM TO SELL THAT WELL.I MYSELF HAVE NEVER HAD NO INTRESTED IN THEM.JUST GET ORDINARY HOME TEAM SHEETS...

I have a feeling Arsenal have both an A4 team sheet, and smaller A5 ones that fit nicely inside your programme.

It doesn't really do it for me, but I do like collecting the different covers for the same game - Palace do it for the last home game of the season, I believe Oxford do two different covers every game!

Derby County produced 2 different covers for the F.A. Cup match a few weeks ago[seems like a few years ago now].

My only comment is what is the point of 2 covers with the same identical content inside.

In the 1940's the Pirate sellers would for a big FA Cup match produce the identical programme in different colours so they could sell to the opposing sets of supporters-very novel and showed some real acumen! Here is an example:

Has anyone else got 2 Pirates for the same game with different covers at all. Probably the same group of scroates back then!

No, but I have 1 Pirate that covers two games. It's for the 1954 Amateur Cup Final replays at Newcastle & Middlesbrough. Originally produced for the 1st replay at St James Park, it resurfaced three days later at Ayresome Park with a sticker over the original date & venue. They even had the audacity to spell Ayresome wrong on the sticker.



Sorry from diverting from the original theme of the thread but Leslie did ask.
