Do be careful with these, they have been reprinted so you must ask if they are original.

I was amazed to see so much speedway memorabilia has been put out again all these years later. Badges as well. I wonder if there really is that much money in what surely is a dwindling market ?

Badges have been a real problem over the years, tons (literally) have been copied and sold but for the main part most vendors have been honest......not so many programmes over the years,

Photographs have been a big problem seems most people still think they can copy them and that is OK.......its not of course.

Race jackets are another item that have been mass reproduced.

I have a replica Oxford "Rebels" race jacket that was made specially for me. Super quality.

I was never really into badges but collecting programmes was my real interest.

Thanks. Interesting stuff. I have a reasonable collection of badges, and most of the programmes from meetings i went to, plus a few others and some old rosettes. Photos mainly from Eddie Toogood and a few that i bought at collectors fairs. Never interested in race jackets though

The cigarette card collection i think i picked up at a collectors fair before the Bradford World final. In the Richard Dunn arena i think it was. Got a few bits there, and the cards were a way to get lots of old riders on the wall without the cost of buying loads of old photos 

As i said, i am just surprised it even pays to knock out badges or race jackets
