This one went for far more that I was expecting and more than similar Crewe programmes from that season - fair price or did it oversell?

no doubt about that - If I was at my computer at the end of that auction I may well have been tempted to go that high!

Its not a programme that comes up that often. Some of United cup games from that period can get a bit tasty. Wolves 46/7 for example, anyway I know the lad who bought it, and I ain't gonna argue with him. He's not the kind of bloke you'd like to meet down a dark Alley.

I've seen Crewe programmes from the Division 3 North for that season go for more, the end price doesn't look too bad to me given that the programme is also in nice condition.

I would have expected somewhere in the 30s as thats what I have paid for other progs from that season... was wondering if it was the Sheff Utd factor that had driven it a little higher and from what SharrowBlade suggests that may well be the case.
