I'm really happy at paying just over £100 for this, its in superb condition, and as you say it really is a snip at that price. The last time I saw it on sale it was priced at £275. Happy Days!!

Not really a 'finally obtained' but having got to the stage where I don't pick up many Burnley programmes - I can probably hope for 10-15 reserves a year, I have actually picked up 4 'pirates' in the space of a week! I know they aren't everyone's cup of tea but at least they give me something else to collect. I have 34 Burnley pirates now, ranging from 1947 to 1974.

I picked up the final programme I needed from Bolton's 77/78 Div 2 title winning season recently.
It was a pre season friendly at Troisdorf that I had only seen once on ebay and it sold for £37.
The auction ended when I was away for the weekend with no internet access.I put in a bid of £30 before going away and was pleasantly surprised to get home and see I'd won the auction for under a fiver.
The programme is an impressive 76 pager and taught me something i didn't know about Bolton's history - there was an FA Cup semi at Burnden Park between Everton and West Brom in 1907.Nice.

The other programmes from that tour of Germany are easy to obtain, plenty of them came back with the club tour.There's a photo of 4 coaches leaving Burnden for Germany in one of the home progs.

Finally picked up the inter v liverpool 1965 euro cup semi final programme. £83 and in very good condition. These seemed to have come down a good bit in the past year.

Another of my "didn't know it existed" one's ticked off the list.....


Hallam v Dulwich hamlet @Hillsborough January 1953, Amateur Cup.

Manchester City v Rangers 1947. 33 pounds on ebay

[kcs]

Get in there!!

Finally got a copy of Leeds v Rotherham 54/55, that's all homes for league and main cups back to that season. (with the exception of a single sheet that went for £1100+ at Cameo's a week or so a go, a copy will do me).

Thanks indirectly to Clive for pointing me in the right direction.

Now the wants lists becomes that little bit harder & expensive. Anyone got any Leeds homes pre 1955?? Ideally at £1 each
