My Everton v Liverpool Programmes Collection

[Barrett]

I've been building it up over the last 3 years, not spending excessively and getting the older ones when I have the money.

I collect all 1st team League + Cup competitions, which include:

Premiership
Division 1
FA Cup
League Cup
Charity Shield
Screen Sport Super Cup (Remember this!)

I tend to stay away from other issues like Liverpool Senior Cup, Friendly and testimonial matches as I don't count them as competitive 1st team matches. Although teams used to put out their first team in the Liverpool Senior Cup up until about 1960!

In total to date there have been 120 first team league and cup games between Everton and Liverpool and I have 119 of those.

The only one I am missing is.... 20th Jan 1951 Liverpool vs Everton - Division 1 - so if anyone has this for sale let me know!

Th most I have spent on a single programme for the collection was about £25 for the 1950 FA Cup Semi Final. It is in very good condition with just the score on the front cover and a few team changes being the only downfall. In mint condition it can fetch upto £50.

I also have a few War League and War Cup matches but these do not appear on official club records as a competitive first team match so I'm debating whether to obtain more of these or not?

If pre 1950 programmes come up for sale I'll probably start collecting them too. I could probably get the late 1940's ones if I tried but I'm guessing pre war issues (before 1939) will be scarce?

If anyone would like any information about any programmes in this collection let me know and I'll be happy to help!
