what use is that ?

[goonerboy]

Just received the postal auction catalogue for Tim Davidson so as I leaf through it looking for arsenal stuff i see lot 855:

"Arsenal selection inc magazine Arsenal in Thailand, 1994 UEFA Cup Final v Palma with supplement (rare), rosettes etc"

What is the point of "etc" for a postal only auction. How the hell am I supposed to gauge a bid price based on a selection of "etc" unknown items. Is there a box load of stuff or a small file load or a couple of items ? Does it mean the two named items are ok and the rest is poor crap ? This is just lazy auctioneering and sounds like just trying to offload worthless stuff.

The estimate for lot 966 is somewhat OTT as well.

Lot 966 E.S. CLYDEBANK, home programme, 8th Aug 1964, v Stenhousemuir, first programme for 1964/5 when East Stirling and Clydebank combined for one season, notes refer to amalgamation and add 'incidentally, we realise that today's programme is something of a collectors piece - but we still only charge 3d - generous little chaps that we are!', slight creasing, G Estimate: 100-150

Looks like Tim is not such a generous little chap.

Its worth about £25-£30 maximum.
Of all the 'rare' Es Clydebank progs this one has to be the most easy to get,its everywhere.
The two dearest Es Programmes are the Sunderland friendly and the Hibs Scottish Cup tie both at home - £40-£60.

I thought the bankies v stirling albion was pretty rare ( in march from memory). It is i gather the last ever home issue therefore should be very collectable.
