I am sure the wolves 57/58 exists, have seen it here and there, and im sure it attracts a high price. Think its possibly the first game after the Munich disaster, but I could be wrong on that, and thats why it gets a high price.

The majority of the Wolves 57-8 programmes were destroyed after the Munich crash, and only a few were saved, hence the scarcity and very healthy selling price.

West Brom 22/12/56 sells for £500+
Norwich 2/12/78 sells for about £200-£300
Leicester 19/12/64 sells for about £30-£50
I'm not sure about the rest although one you have missed i think Bristol City? seen that go for £600 think it was late seventies possibly 77/78 Wolves 57/58 have seen that one sell over £2000

It might be worth contacting Leslie Millman (Manchesterunitedman1) on ebay or Tony Veys (Antoniveysinmanchesterengland) for a comprehensive list, i'm sure they will both have them all

I have a Man Utd dealers catalogue which implies they all exist but only 3 were in stock.
77/78 Man City £180
78/79 Norwich £340
64/65 Leicester £50

The 69/70 Leeds one has the following description
20 Dec 69 Leeds postponed
7 Jan 70 Leeds postponed single sheet issued with 20.12.69
26 Jan 70 Leeds No date on programme

So it looks like there are 2 different programmes and a single sheet insert to find.

It was SOME time ago, early 80's I think.

Have you got a list of the exact dates for the postponed games as opposed to just the year.

1982/83 21 12/2/83 V LUTON (Postponed)

1978/79 11 2/12/78 V NORWICH (Postponed)
1978/79 15 13/1/79 V QPR (Postponed)

1977/78 17 4/2/78 V MAN CITY(Postponed)

1972/73 20 24/2/73 V C PALACE (Postponed)

1969/70 17 20/12/69 V LEEDS (Postponed)

1968/69 19 22/2/69 V LIECESTER (Postponed)

1964/65 15 2/1/65 V FULHAM (Postponed)
1964/65 25 29/3/65 V LIECESTER (Postponed)
1964/65 25 10/4/65 ? V STRASBOURG (Undated)

1962/63 15 29/12/62 V FULHAM (Postponed)
1962/63 16 16/2/63 V SHEFF WED (Postponed)

1957/58 20 8/2/58 V WOLVES (Post)

1956/57 11 22/12/56 V WEST BROM (Post) V RARE

As I said before, not 100% sure if programmes were produced for all these games, for example, the 64/65 Leicester & Strasbourg match's were postponed twice, so maybe only one issue covered both games ?
