Don't know if this is of any help but Pegasus homes of the 50s tend to go for around £25.
The club only ever played FA Amateur Cup matches and friendlies.

Pegasus programmes tend to fall into two distinct categories

(1) F.A.Amateur Cup - very collectable, especially at home. They played their home games at the Iffley Road stadium in Oxford (where Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile)

(2) Friendlies. Some can be very run of the mill. I put a small collection of them into Sportingold about 2 or 3 auctions back and was pleasantly surprised to get about £100 for 12 of them, although it did include an early 50's Amateur Cup semi final replay which probably hiked the price a wee bit.

The club was formed through Cambridge and Oxford under graduates and they had tremendous success in the old Amateur Cup, but lost their way slightly after the mid 1950's when they stuck rigidly to their "undergraduates only" rule. The Corinthians benefited from this when a lot of ex Pegasus went to play for them because they couldn't continue after their studies concluded.

I've got quite a lengthy history of the rise and fall of Pegasus FC as a pdf file if anyone wants a copy.
Very interesting reading - the politics and infighting were quite something and the snobbery (by modern day standards) most illuminating.

Anyway, anyone wants a read, PM me with your email address + I'll send it on.
