Advice Required Arsenal v Leeds 65/66 Postponed

[square1back2]

Off the back of a thread that I remember reading on here some time ago with regards to this programme being ' Rocking Horse Poo' I have recently purchased a fair condition one from ebay for my Arsenal collection. The advice I am looking for is in respect of restoration and whether I should have it done for this programme. The spine is partially split from the top of the top staple to the top of the programme and the same at the bottom from the lower staple, the programme is slightly grubby and there are four very small pen marks on the cover. If I have it restored would it add or subtract to the value of this programme any thoughts would be appreciated. The price I paid for rocking horse poo was £ 250.00p

Which begs the question, how much would you pay for a rocking horse?

Bit confused reading this.....that programme sells for 8-15 pounds these days, are you saying you bought it for £250?

I am sorry for the confusion this is not the programme from May 66 when it was Arsenal's lowest attendance but it is from the 9th April when the match was originally arranged and postponed due to bad weather leading to the May fixture.

No problem.. in fact my fault that I did not take into account the word POSTPONED
