BLACKPOOL v LEEDS UNITED League cup 1960/1

[BAZZABAGGIES]

An old customer of mine is trying to raise a few quid to go on holiday and wants me to sell it for him on Ebay.
Anyone got an idea on what this programmes worth ?
I had one around 10 years ago but lost track on the value.

BAZZA - You want a valuation?

One sold in May on eBay for £34.99

Back in the day this one and the Norwich LC semi were 2 of the most sought after Blackpool homes.

As with a lot of programmes prices have dropped dramatically in recent years, so I was pleased when I sold one in January 2013 for £222.

Since then I recall seeing one go for around £150.

Most serious Blackpool collectors now have this in their collection and I would imagine most Leeds collectors have as well.

The current value is therefore likely to be a lot less but as you know if there are 2 collectors out there who still require it the end price is anybodys guess.

Whilst writing this I have noticed RVD's reply, and I would say that whoever bought one at that price has got an absolute bargain, depending on condition of course.

If I was selling another I would be looking for at least £75.

Got £500 for mine about 5 or 6 years back. It was part of a very large pre 1970's Blackpool collection that I purchased on here probably a year or so earlier.

Bazza/Bispham.....

Please forgive my earlier buffoonery - I was referring to the game at Elland Road, apologies.

Those were the days.

I remember when the Norwich semi final went for £800 and that was only a few years ago.

[BAZZABAGGIES]

I will try it at £500 and work my way down if no takers.


I have told him how much prices have dropped, he paid £50 for a 1954 FA Cup Final a few years back and i told him you can now get one for under £20.
He also has a few other bits that he might get a good price for.

[BAZZABAGGIES]

Well after all that twoing and throwing It was sold on Ebay for £500 almost straight away...

Perhaps i should have put it on higher..

Im pleased for the old boy I havent told him Ebay takes 10% and Paypal take their share..

[derby1884]

I have a suspicion you'll give him the £500 and just take the hit yourself, Barry.

Heart of gold and all that

Never thought I'd see the day when Bazza came "cap in hand" to the
Forum for a valuation from fellow members
It's sackcloth and ashes time Bazza and when you've worn the hair shirt and eaten rats for a week you will see you got a good response
and gained respect for doing so. We're all human after all and it's good to know you're perhaps not the ogre we thought you were.
I suggest that the Ban Bazza vote is pronounced "null & void".

It may even spark off an ASK BAZZA section

[BAZZABAGGIES]

Look Matty it wasnt my programme so if he got £10 for it there would have been no skin off my nose.
If i owned it I would have put it on auction.
If i would have listened to some of the members on here the Old Boy would have ended up with £75 instead of £500. As i said before i dont know everything but more than most.
A prominent London dealer once sold a 1952/3 Wolves v Chelsea for £6 and at the time it was going for over £500...

There was never a ban on me some Scot took offence because i called him a tight git and he called me racist.

[kcs]

£500 - very good price to be honest.

Clearly wanted as it got snapped up very quickly.

Hope your customer has a nice break away.

Right place right time bazza but still I can't believe someone would pay £500.

Prices for this one have generally been falling for many years so to get £500, that's amazing. Well done.

Although there is one Blackpool collector who will go for a buy it now at any price if he needs it so I am wondering if it was him.

If it was, you would probably have got whatever price you listed it at.

[BAZZABAGGIES]

It was a Leeds Fan.

[Auchinleckian]

Doesn't surprise me one bit. Doubt it would have got much more at auction, then you have commission etc. Glad I sold mine for cash so no commission to anyone - to clear that it would need to sell for nigh on £600 at most auction houses.

It does surprise me a little John.

Since your sale a few years back these programmes have been selling for anywhere between £150 and £250.

Now a punter has jumped straight in at £500.

Perhaps the moral is to never put a programme that has the potential to be a good earner on auction.

Stick it on as a BIN for a ridiculously high price and hope someone bites. If they don't you have lost nothing and can try again for slightly less and so on until it sells.

I have in my possesion a spare of one of the rarest post war Blackpool friendlies.

I was planning on auctioning it but now I think it has to be a BIN.

[BAZZABAGGIES]

On my items on Buy it now I always start high you can come down on the price if it does not sell.

[Wullie]

I no longer use BIN since I no longer have to pay listing fees. I just list it at whatever the BIN would have been and with some luck may get a bidding war. If you only get one bid then it's what you would have had if it were a BIN.
