Beowulf Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) On E-bay yesterday the 1936 World Final Programme sold for £305, 1937 sold for £112. I would think that the 1936 programme is the most valuable one world wide. The only one that I imagine could possibly beat it is 1928 High Beech, that is if there was a programme and that any still exist. Comments ?

TeamBouchard Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Sadly, probably not as much as you were thinking! A copy - autographed, as yours was, by all the celebrities present - went for £20 a few weeks back on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) I once got bidding for a Leeds Lions programme that was pre war. I am not sure how much it went for but it was well over £100. I have programmes from 90 different UK speedway tracks and the most I paid was £30 for a Fleetwood Flyers one. Most are pretty cheap.

lucifer sam Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Some pre-war proggies from "rare" tracks can go for £200 or £300. Most I paid for World Final was for 1936, just over £100 to complete the collection. 1961 used to be the most expensive, but has already come down in price, I waited and was pleasantly surprised when I eventually got one cheaper than I expected to pay.

If the Fleetwood one is against Wolves, I'll double your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Beowulf as a Wolves fan you always said to me, "when you see Eric Gundersen pass a Wolves rider in a Wolves v Cradley meeting - save that programme, it's so rare!"

cityrebel Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 A few years ago a 1928 glasgow (celtic park) programme sold for £1000, I'm sure at the time it was the only one known to exist. Walthamstow's short season from 1934 usually hit the £400 mark!. I have a members badge from that year in my own collection which is mega rare.

secsy1 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Goy a original Crystal Palace programme which I bought for £125 eight years ago if anyone interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatwick Rocket Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 As someone who doesn't collect pre-war the most I ever paid for a programme was the 1961 World Final. I don't have a copy but I bet the 1982 Ballymena programme fetches a tidy price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 The 1961 programme is rarer than rocking horse droppings. I'd love one .

sommelier Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 John Somerville has the very best pre 40s collection of programmes in the country. And a truly fab guy to deal with, nothing but total admiration, can't praise this man enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
