I really don't see the point of these postings. The programme sold at auction, so that is the price. In the case of the Maltese programme there were 23 bids.

There is an argument that the seller did not know her arse from her elbow. In one place it says the programme is in English and elsewhere it is Maltese. Also the programme has 14 pages - no 16 pages.

I think the Rangers one though was actually advertised as a pirate programme printed in 2009 (so 37 years after the match took place)

However, as the listing was in German the buyer may have thought they were buying an original programme

So yes, someone managing to sell a modern home-made pirate for £150+ seems noteworthy to me

By the way, this is a very dodgy seller, lists a mixture of overpriced originals, reprints and reproductions and doesn't always distinguish between them

Well for me these posts are interesting because I would learn why a seemingly random or mundane programme would go for that sort of money. A while ago I mentioned the 1982 European cup final going for £100 when I got one for £20 on eBay a week apart. Recently the unofficial one went for £25, and I got it in a lot with the semi final for £5. These things are a curiosity for me.
