1968 Benfica v Man United Programme - Reproductions

[craig]

Does anyone know if repros were done for this programme apart from in 1997.

As i understand it the 1997 has "Reprinted 1997" at the bottom of the inside back cover. I have a mint programme which im about to ship to Australia so just want to make sure its not a repro before sending.

Thanks in advance

Craig,

I've got 150+ of these programmes (reprints) & just checked some of them. Neither inside the rear cover nor anywhere else within the programme does it state "Reprint". Comparing them however with originals there is a difference of texture of paper. ie, more of a "sheen" on the reprint.

That shows the reprints which were done in 1997.

Ive now worked out that there was a reprint done much earlier (the programme you have 150 of) however as i only have one i have nothing to compare to.. Hmm...

Craig,

Definately no reference suggesting it to be a reprint within these programmes. On a similar note, anybody know of tell tale markings within / about the 1985 Heysel Final programme. Again, i have lots of a reprinted version.

This has been reprinted many times, don't know the dates but some are very recent. Easy to tell those ones if you have them in your hand, they are like very port photocopies. The correct one have well defined print and images.
