They are mainly FA Cup final programmes from the 70's & early 80's, with afew England internationals from around the same time.
The 1974 programme was 15p and the '81 was 80p. Bloody inflation.
There are a number of websites that specialize in selling football programmes and the following website :
http://www.footballprogrammes.com/index.htm should give you an approximate value for the FA cup finals and big games. The other place you find them for sale is EBAY, but I wouldn't sell any of mine. The most valuable I've got thus far is the Celtic Vs Inter Milan European cup final [Lisbon Lions] 1967 ; mines an original in excellent condition and could be worth £200 - £250. But I've hundreds of programmes from all sorts of clubs , countries, competitions and havn't valued them all. But the last time I went through the ones I thought might be worth something like Man U's European cup win in the 60's Ive got every round and various others I soon totted up £2k.
So there worth keeping / collecting as an investment I suppose - i'd hope to pass mine on to my son when I kick the bucket - but he'll probably sell them in a flash ?
Although he's getting into the collecting a bit himself now. I get the feeling that Morecambe's 1st full league seasons programmes will be valuable many years from now, they were'nt that difficult to get; of the handful of matches I didn't go too I'd ask people to get me a programme or pick one up in the club shop.
