Rare Swansea City / town Programmes anybody know of any ?

[Swanseaboy44]

Got over 3,500 Swansea Town / City Programmes from the 1940s to present day. Home and always ... looking to have a clear out soon just would like to know if there are any rare ones that I need to look out for . [/i]

Welsh cup games from the 40s and 50s would sell well.

Do you have any?

[Swanseaboy44]

Yes I got a few of those but half and half about keeping hold of them for a rainy day if you know what I mean.

[slugger]

If you let forum members know what you have then they might be able to advise on values.

[Swanseaboy44]

Will get on the case in the next few days

[slugger]

Ok

Interested in anything older vs Newport and Cardiff

[saint clarkie]

Any reserves ?

[TheSorter!]

Is there such a thing as a rare Swansea programme??

[realred]

Do you have a copy of the Wrexham postponed issue 1969-70 (November)?

I'm not being funny, but if you have 3500 Swansea programmes from the 40's onward I would have thought that made you a club specialist, and we should be asking you what the rare ones were etc

Pm sent and methanol in the region of £120 to £175 depending on condition.

May possibly have been left in an estate by a relative. Think if thats the case theres going to be a lot of fun going forward!!

If these have been inherited as opposed to bought by the current owner then you have the many time seen scenario.You have an owner who wants to sell but doesn't want to sell them cheap, even though he has no idea what they are worth and which is rare.You have some folk on here trying to help and other folk trying to help themselves.The only sensible,honest and neutral advice is to take these to a full time credible auction house.It is in their interest to maximise the sale price.
That way the seller will never wonder if he got it right.Sure it will cost an auctioneers fee but i think the pluss's outweigh the minus's

I agree totally, depends how much effort they are willing to put in at the end of the day.

[slightfold]

If the inheritance scenario is correct, then good advice. Perhaps the poster would like to tell us whether this is the case?
