HMFC4ME Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 A friend of mine may be looking to sell a whole load of football programs some dating back more than 35 years! they are predominantly Chelsea but some other in there too including one from England vs West Germany . Does anyone have any suggestions as to where they would be sold best(Besides live auction houses)? ebay is all i can think of for now. Also is there anyway to get them valued?

londonjambo Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Is your friend in Edinburgh ? If so, his best bet is to speak to Brian Johnson at Almondvale Programmes in Albion Road near Easter Road. He will value them and if they are decent, will purchase them from your friend. You can call him on 0131 652 1444. Tell him Gary recommended hm. Just a heads up though - unless they go back a lot more than 35 years, they arent likely to be worth much - programmes only start to have real value from about 1960 backwards save for the odd few rarities. Any Hearts stuff in there GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a shop in Leith that buys and sells footie programmes. Its called Almondvale i think. Just google that and think it will come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give Almondvale a call when I've catalogued his collection, Don't think theres any Hearts ones in there though. how does a 1975 England vs West Germany sound for an odd rarity?

Almondvale has got one for sale for the princely sum of ?1 so I dont imagine he will even be in the market to buy another. There's also a couple of dozen on e-bay at less than a pound.

Say What Again Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 He's in London at the moment but will be going to Edinburgh soon. Wouldn't your mate be better off selling to a programme shop in London? Purely based on the notion that there's bound to more interest in Chelsea programmes down there. I keep meaning to ask Brian if he's interested in some of mine. There's a couple I'd like to keep, but others are just taking up space in a cupboard. Got a few (one of them is really nothing more than a newspaper) from a tour of NZ in '75. I can't imagine there are too many of them kicking about. In saying that, the newspaper type thing may be worth ?0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The programme I have is this one and the newspaper type issue (I haven't looked at it for ages so may even be describing it incorrectly) is from the same tour. Possibly versus West Auckland.

Otherwise, I'd go to Brian GC Keep meaning to look out and file all my programmes. If I ever get round to it Gary, would you mind if I sent a copy to you and see what you thought in terms of value? It's not really a collection as such. Just a mish mash of programmes i've got over the years Quick question the now though. How much do you think would a copy of Willie Bauld's testimonial game v Sheffield Utd be worth? (Good condition) Cheers GR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got no idea about what the going rates are for footie programmes TBH. I'll have to set aside some time and drag them all down from the attic and go through them.

Gorgiewave Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Slightly off-topic but it might be Alvondvale Programmes-related. Can anybody list all the games Hearts have played against Spanish opposition? At Christmas, I bought what appear to be all the programmes produced for these games. These are: Zaragoza away, Atl?tico de Madrid home, Mallorca home and away, Barcelona. Apparently there was no programme for the other games. Have we played any other games against Spanish opposition?

Hope you mean Zaragoza home because as far as I am aware, there's no away programmes for the 2 away games Other than the ones you've mentioned, there's three others We played Valencia and Levante in pre-season in 1990 and there was a tournament programme for that Then there were home pre-season games against Sociedad in 1991 and Osasuna in 2006 for which there were programmes for both games Think thats it.
