Top one's a pirate Andy. Is the bottom one the same one or a different one? Either way, I think you'd have great difficulty selling them due to their defects. Have had the Ilford Boys one myself many, many moons back - for some reason they're not as collectable as the likes of similar Spurs programmes whcih can go for £hundreds. Imagine the ordinary reserve games between the two at West Ham are probably worth in the region of £30 to £40 each, at Chelsea probably 50% of that?

I take it the top one is a London County Cup tie John? You are right, the bottom is the same as the top.

I said to him I thought about £75-£100 tops for the 3, looks like I'm not a million miles out.
