How unusual or rare please?

The programme is for the Barrow v Swansea Town FA Cup 3rd round played on 9th January 1954.
The game was famous for the fact that Barrow drew 2-2 to take the game to a replay, and the fact that a crowd of 16,874 watched the game, Barrow's highest ever attendance for any match.
This record still stands.

The programme is fairly rare and quite collectable, as are most Barrow AFC cup programmes, but the programme from the previous round, in which Barrow played at home to Great Yarmouth, is considerably more sought after.

As the programme is now more than 61 years old, it's becoming increasingly harder to find in good condition.

Price-wise, I would estimate £20-£25 for a clean programme without any writing or team changes.

I hope this helps.
