About the £40 to £60 mark. A lot of London clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs were prolific programme producers pre WW2, and therefore they don't attract the premium prices that a club like Grimsby does for it's pre WW2 programmes whenever they turn up. Bigger clubs like the London ones used to plan their programme sales based on 60% of the crowd buying one, and with much bigger crowds than the Town (who would have budgeted for a much lesser sale based on available finance) it's no surprise that many still survive.
Another thing about pre WW2 programmes, fans were encouraged to hand them back at a lot of clubs. after the game to be recycled. Peter Dixons was in full production then - the country's largest paper reprocessing plant, so they'd only have had to make the short trip over the West Marsh to dispose of them to do their bit for the war effort. Amazing wee bits of history attached to football programmes, eh?


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Minor mistake there, it was the WW2 programmes that were asked to be handed back. Lots of paper was recycled anyway during the war so many thousands of programmes will have been pulped.
