European cup collectors

[Ann Orack]

Evening all.

Don't normally ask questions like this but does Barcelona v Red Star Belgrade Inter Cities Fairs Cup semi 1961/62 have any reasonable value?

Does anybody have any idea?

[garyspain]

I don't know but would imagine it is quite rare.

The 1950's and early 60's turn up from bound volumes but they get rare around that time. Hibs and Sheffield Wed are very scarce. I've never even seen a programme for Barca v Shelbourne 1963.

There is one major Barca collector and its value will most likely depend o nwhether he has it or not.

It's a strange one with Barca programmes as Gary says. I've had bound volumes and singles, collections from the late 1940's through to the 59-60 season from various trips over there, but from then onwards they are somewhat scarce. The Barca fans themselves go in more for tickets and season tickets as collectables, rather than programmes.

I'm pretty sure i've seen one before but not sure what it sold for, the early Barca programmes for Euro matches 57/8 to 60/61 are all fairly easy to obtain with the exception of London X1 ICFC Final 57/8, 61/62 are much rarer, there was no programme for the Final, i have asked a collector in Barcelona and awaiting his reply but Joan Vinyals would be the best man to ask he has a site of Barcelona collectables the Red Star programme is shown on the site under the ''programes'' section top left of the main screen.

I've just had a reply back from my contact in Barcelona he sold one about 4 years ago for around £70 on ebay UK, it was the official programme that he had, he said Euro Final & Semi Final collectors would pay more for it than Barca collectors who don't like to pay anything much for programmes just tickets, he told me it is quite rare most league issues from the same period and most Euro matches involving Barca earlier are worth only around £5-£10 each,
