RobbieB 26 Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) My favourite programmes is my complete collecton of Speddway -Wills-Internationale programmes that took me several years to obtain. The hardest one for me to obtain was the Harringay Final programme, as I kept being outbid. But nevertheless I collected them all in the end.

Hi Norbold I think I paid around £15--£20 for the programmes. But I have seen a excellent condition programme go for between £30-£50 which is surpringing for a vastly printed programme from 1961. Each copy has a unique number on the front cover. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,939 Posted June 7, 2022 Did find a Times report on Nick Barber from 2007 and it stated the most expensive programme in his collection was a High Beech one estimated at 250 pounds. So i guess the price has risen somewhat since then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Closest is my collection is the Warrington England v The Rest for 900. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
