Wolfstar Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I was speaking to a Family friend when he looked out these pictures and asked what they would be worth. He doesn't follow Hearts and is more a run of your mill armchair fan that just likes watching a game. I told him about the players in the pictures, the infamous 85/86 season, 88 semi v celtic and as a young lad who started going in the early 90s these were my first childhood heroes. So a couple of weeks later his wife gave me these pictures, she said it never mattered if they were worth ?10 or ?1000 but should go to someone who admired them so they are now proudly hanging in my hall. All I know of them is they are done by a lady called Vivian McDonald, they are all signed by her and each picture is signed by the player. They are all originals and I believe they were part of a radio competition in the mid 80s to be won. two of the pictures had the artists name address and date on the back as November 85 and the other as November 86. Does anyone have any other version of these prints, is the artist known about Edinburgh, anyone seen them before or remember the competition? They will hang on my wall for years to come as I really like them and are a bit different. If anyone has any information about them it would be great.

Wolfstar Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Cheers lads. So I now have a mission to find the poster. If anyone can find it and post a picture up that would be great. I was only born in 85 so things like that were just before my childhood time. The quality of them are fantastic. over the 4 pictures are 3 different strips. 1 Bukta strip and 2 umbro strips.

WorldChampions1902 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I have the poster somewhere and I will see if I can find it. There was also a large club calendar produced around the same time with head and shoulders images of Hearts Greats and IIRC, the front cover of the calendar had a head drawing of Willie Bauld. I think that calendar could be by the same artist and may have some of the drawings in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
