Somebody made a reference on the old shirts thread about an original away shirt from 81 going for £511.
To a degree I can understand that.
With regards to programmes recently one that stood out was this one:
A word of warning, its aint that rare, good condition at a push £20-25.
This has the score written on the front and isn't in great condition.
The score written on the front would seriously devalue it, and many wouldn't touch it.
Always take a look at the bidding pattern.
Its rare to have any programme such as this to get more than a handful of bids and most would come in the final couple of minutes if at all.
I'm always cynical when there's a lot of bids made by a couple of people and in small increments. Its shill bidding,
I met a lad once who had begun collecting Sheffield Eagles programmes, I noticed he was on ebay and had bid on 20 programmes. I got in touch with him and told him how much he'd bid on each item and he asked me how I knew. I said you've bid a fiver on each one, and the seller has a little friend and they have bid you up. I told him to withdraw his bids and see what the seller will do. I promised him the seller would withdraw all the items, which he did.
They were worth a quid each tops.
Don't be put off tho, most sellers are good, its just something you should always keep in mind.
