I think I may have overestimated the value of my own collection.
Lot 971 'READING Eleven home programmes: Notts. County and Swindon 48/9, Watford 54/5, Southend, Millwall and Gillingham 55/6, 2 X 56/7 and 3 X 57/8. Generally good'
went for a grand total of £15.
Why is it that the programmes I have, go for a song, while the ones I need cost a fortune? |

On the other hand, I had some Rangers tickets in - more in hope than expectation - and had minimum guide prices of £25 - £30 for each of the lots. 37 modern European homes went for £110, 20 modern finals and semi finals went for £80, and 37 modern friendlies went for £80 as well. That's about £200 more than I had really hoped for. There's no logic, but it does mean our Beechwood Park Regeneration Fund will be £600 better when we get the remittance.
On an ever nicer note, the total from these lots at sportingold now means that we have broken through the £20,000 mark since I started running an untried programme hut, totally dependent on fan's donations in late 2013. Our floodlights eventually go up at the start of August, and cost us £60,000 so it's really nice to know that reycycled bits of paper have contributed approximately a third of their total cost. |

I was well outbid on three lots and managed to bag one for what I had set as my maximum price.
It seems that in these COVID days the quality end of the market is still very buoyant. Long may it continue. |

Well done, John.
An excellent effort in a great cause. |

Picked up 3 lots but got well out bid on a number of the other lots I had put in bids for, but over the moon with wining the three that I have got. |

It was slim pickings for a Reading Collector, who doesn’t venture into Pre-War Issues, but the sale definitely provided a day’s entertainment for someone who is still off work. At one point the auctioneer said ‘you can always get more money, when are you going to find another one of these’,
I wonder if that argument will work on the wife. |
