On the programme front probably the 5 bound volumes of pre war BUFC I picked up in the autumn.......

With Subbuteo, which I collect as and when finances allow I suppose it was the box full of mint heavyweight 70's teams I bought at a boot sale a few years back for £50. When I got home there were 35 complete teams before I even looked at all the spares and accessories.....

Once picked up a special edition 1970 World Cup subbeto set from a Charity shop in Milton Keynes for £3.50(I managed to knock £1.50 of the asking price) and sold it a week later on ebay to a guy in Italy for £300 – I had no idea what it was worth or of the market around the world for them. I never seen one since

when I was about 13 or 14 just starting collecting the 1970's 80's and 90's managed to pick up Man Utd vs Luton Town postponed issue for around 50p with other programmes from that era

Worth 600+

If someone was to ask the opposite question what would be my worst buy then would prob have a few of them too!

Possibly a set of 4 scrapbooks covering the 55/56 season in Division 3 (North) which cost something like £3 many years ago.
Whoever it was who compiled them must have spent hours and hours on it as there's not a square inch wasted. 100s of match reports, match photos, tables, scores, misc press cuttings.
A real work of art.
Especially interesting to me as it was Derby's first season at that level.

Big season for Derby, half their old team turned up for Boston Utd in the FA Cup and did them 6-1!

And the programme for the next home game (v Wrexham) makes absolutely no mention of the Boston game! Not a single word.
No matter - we got our revenge (just!) in '74...

When picking up a couple of cheap run of the mill programmes from a site that specialised in other non sport memorabilia I spotted a couple of original 1960s Pirelli calendars for a fiver each. Took a punt on them (postage cost me over a tenner) but they sold for about £70 and about £650!
