SUPPLEMENTS IN PROGRAMMMES DEVALUE IF REMOVED OR NOT

[johnwells]

There have been a number of Supplements added to programmes since the 1960's SOCCER REVIEW/ FOOTBALL LEAGUE REVIEW/LEAGUE FOOTBALL (basically one and the same), ON TARGET, and the 3 awful ones PROGRAMME PLUS, NATIONWIDE REVIEW and one that didnt even have a title !

Certainly League Review was meant to be collected, as they issued binders, and I have a good collection of On Target but have these questions.

a) Does the removal of League Review reduce the value of the programme, remembering that they werent always stapled in , some clubs just slotted them in. Several also stated it was included on the cover.

b) anyone got a defintive record of how many ON TARGETS were issued and does anyone have spares. I find it easier to quote the cover picrture to distinguish

I don't think removing FLR devalues the programme. They weren't related to your club so have no intrinsic long-term connection to that match or your club. That's my opinion FWIW.

I agree with Dan. the FLR is seperate and disticnt from the programme, it cannot devalue from the programme if it is missing. The fact that they can be collected on their own also adds weight to that argument.
I do have a typed team change inserted on a seperate piece of paper with one of my late 40s programmes, that of course is a different matter as it relates to that specific line-up for that specific game.

Thanks for the replies so far, of course, please keep them coming, it does of curse make the weight lighter , so postage should be cheaper.

I dont think it devalues a programme as such. However, as far as my collection went, where I had gaps to fill, I looked for programmes that had the Review in it, and where I had bought one at the match that didn't have the review in, I have since replaced it with a copy that did have it in.

I think they are a pain in the neck, as when you buy a few progs in one go it adds weight to the postage and puts the price up. I ask the seller to bin them before posting to me to keep the cost down. So, in my view the prog is worth more without the darn things.
