Hi Rob, judging by your question, I assume that they went for something either very low like £12 or something very high like £400. Then again, I really shouldn't go assuming.

Put it this way I was way out

£20.00

might not have been many there that wanted them

Me and my wife often go to Windibanks auctions. Football items rarely come up here, but when they do, they normally go for a reasonable price.
However it is all on the day, whether 2 collectors are there to bid on said items.

I would say they went for around £45

There doesn't appear to be anything special amongst that lot , but you never know, there may be a rare postponed or something like that. They don't say how many programmes. Looking at the photo with three piles of programmes. There must be about 50 per pile. So a cheap £2 per programme x 150 = £300. I see a Leeds, a Gateshead, a Pegasus, and a cup final ... so my guess is £400 to £450

[tcno10]

probably something crazy like £600

Well my inital bid was 30 pounds and I was willing to bid up to one hundres and forty. This was blown out of the water !!!!!

Were there any Cardiff v Worcester games in there?

Looks like a pretty much full set of Cardiff 60/61s in there and maybe some late 50s

The suspense is killing everyone now too!!

Don't know, I sent my bid in via email a few days before. Turned out there were 300 all from between 1950-58 !!!! As you can see loads of Cardiff Craig - How much would you expect that sort of number to cost ?

It's a bit frustrating not being able to see exactly what's in those piles. I'm going to guess four figures!!

[PRESTON WCFC]

No not quite as high as that but 670 !!!! I could see a few non league in there so was assuming the estimate was slightly low ! Seems I was slightly wrong !!!!

Coooorrrr Blimey!

Seems expensive but 300 1950s will make the buyer a decent return. Just amazed the estimate is so far out though - surely a mistake by auctioneer?
