Selling Football Programme collection ?

I've got a huge number of programmes in the loft, mainly 70s/80s, mostly just ordinary league games but some cup finals etc. What's the best way to go about selling them ? I really don't want to do it individually, it'd take forever to plough through them for one thing. Is there a place that buys in bulk, having seen a small selection of what you've got ?

    Some booksellers might be interested

    Maybe try the fan clubs of the teams

    See if any are selling on eBay and if the sellers of those would be interested in acquiring your collection for resale?

    Hiya, you might actually sell them as job lots in auctions. I would suggest going to a Sports Memorabilia specialists such as Convery Auctions. Valuations are free but you have to give them a list of the items you have.

    Alternatively, you may want to approach sports memorabilia sellers, which you could find by google.

    good luck :T

    !!!!!! is all that about?
  • You could look at the back of football mags such as fourfourtwo etc - they usually have ads from companies wanting old programmes/memorabilia

    I really don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but unless you have some rare European ones or very early programmes you will get buttons. I buy at Antique/Collectors Auctions. I bought about 500 for a tenner, and even then had difficulty making a profit on them. Good Luck though!!

    I'm sure I've got some of every old Div 1/2 clubs going. I'm not looking to sell individually though, unless you offer me some silly amount, I've got far too many for that.

    You'll get far more for them if you sell them individually. eBay is as good a place as any. The condition of them is important too. Are they all in good nick? I collect FA Cup Final ones, so if you come across any of them please let me know!

    You could try contacting the football museum at Preston North Ends ground. They bought some really old ones from me a while back but they might be able to put you in touch with a collector of the ones you have.
