This is getting silly...

A hefty price for a post-war programme. can Chelsea or Sunderland collectors confirm if it is as rare as the seller is making out ?

[craig]

Some of his other items were pricey too!!

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/cleeve7.....ksid=p4340



Ipswich Town v Chelsea 03/05/1948 £55
Blackpool v Chelsea 23/08/1947 £99
Manchester United v Chelsea 17/04/1948 £25

All starting bids

[Wullie]

Well if someone is willing to pay this sort of price then that's what they think it's worth. The harder to obtain season 46/47 four page v Chelsea sold for £180 a few months back. The 1947/48 v Manchester United sold for £2800 if i remember right. I'm going to look in my grans attic next time i vist...

If anyone knows the value of Chelsea programmes, it is this seller, he is a long established Chelsea collector who knows his stuff..............

i echo the last comment - the sunderland estimate is spot on.

[ToffeeDan]

Well it might be rare but there'll be no takers round about now!

i've got 12 Sunderland homes from this season (sadly not Chelsea) and never paid over £35 for any of them. And i doubt that any more or less issues were printed for the Chelsea game than any other league game so there must be some around. Hopefully i may get one for a sensible price one day?

That's steep innit.

[Senior82]

Is it printed on gold leaf?!

[pompeypete]

Sunderland programmes are quite rare, I paid over £300 for one v pompey 46/47.
I expect Chelsea being a popular club has put the price up thou'.

Having said that I don't think I could pay that amount for any programme but if its the last one you need.................

Christmas could be cancelled.

The guy makes the point that he paid almost £2000 for a copy 8 years ago. With all respect this doesn't make him an expert , just rich lol. The fact that two or three people with loads of money bidding frantically for a rareish item just distorts the market. What happens when all three of them eventually gain a copy? Is the programme still worth £2000 or is the programme worth what the next in line would bid for it ...say £200? I remember watching with amazement a 1940s home v Charlton go for over £300 on ebay. Within a few months i picked up the same programme for £30. So what is it's true value? £300 or £30 ?

[bpaafc]

Pays to shop around?

Be wise my son, and make my heart rejoice.

Agreed lets finish with Christmas.

[Wullie]

Well it sold for £1,319.00" private listing - bidders' identities protected" interesting. lol.....i'm waitng for a "" sub standard issue "" the more sub standard the better, then send it off to Eamonn for a complete makeover

£300 could be too much, £30 may not be enough. It's only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.

I always think that when someone asks me how much a programme is worth, I try to think about how much it would cost me to replace it from a dealer.

And there you go.. I told you there were copies of this "" Rare" programme about. Within a week another appears .

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sunderla.....2a0330ace7

a once in a life time opportunity.... every week

[Wullie]

now the second one didn't sell yet it was cheaper than the previous weeks programme when there was supposed to be two bidders. so it person outbid last week didn't want to buy this copy. all very strange

[seand]

Because there were onyl 2 bidders first time around I'm guessing the second bidder is waiting for it to be relisted at a considerably lower starting price!

I wouldn't at all be surprised if the seller had 2 and offered a second chance offer to the other bidder,

[Wullie]

Sold for £1,319.00 about a month ago. Wonder what this one goes for ?
