Original 1972 League Cup Poster up for grabs. (Charity Cycle Marie Curie)

[Leithenhibby]

I'm cycling from Edinburgh Castle to the rock of Gibraltar for Marie Curie, Sep 2017.

17529

As part of my fundraising I'm auctioning this original 72' League Cup poster.
I decided not to mount it so that you can see the condition and the 'Evening News Souvenir Poster' at the bottom.

A mount could be added to take away the corners, but I wanted to show the fact that this belonged to a 12 year old boy at the time and it's 44 years old on it's next anniversary.

17530

The auction will run until midnight October 31st. Poster size - 500x700 Approx.

Good Luck :wink:

[G B Young]

I remember that poster. A really iconic memento of a much-loved era in Hibs' history and probably quite a rarity so I hope its raises a lot of money for a very good cause. I don't think the condition of it will matter much. The retro look actually adds to the appeal and as you say a good framer will probably be able to bring out the best in it.

Exactly what the framer said. To add the mount would be easy and not expensive at all.

No idea what you are looking at by way of opening bids, but I'll get it up and running with a £20 bid.

I've got that poster framed in my house. We found it in a suitcase after my father-in-law died.
Got it framed for my Mrs the following Christmas.
Hope it raises you loads mate, Good luck!!

It is a great picture/poster, that looks even better when mounted. It is framed, all that would be additional is a mount (not expensive)

Sadly my hibs memorabilia spending is now ott for this year so the very impressive bid is beyond me.

Wee idea for your cause - is it worth getting good quality A3 Size copies made and selling the for say £10 to raise funds before you finally send it to the highest bidder?

That very idea had crossed my mind many years ago, (for another biking challenge for Marie Curie) but I didn't want to infringe any copyright, if indeed there is any. Perhaps someone on .net could let us all know.

EDIT - Just had a wee look and there is indeed copyright. Perhaps I need to get together with EEN & Marie Curie. :wink:

[hibsfan]

I have a mint one of these which has been sat in my loft for 20+ years in a cardboard tube. My Primary teacher gave it to me as a gift as it had belonged to her son and he didn't want it anymore... what a lady! Wouldn't sell it though.

Great cause - good luck!

Coincidentally I believe I may have had the pleasure of meeting the son of the artist that penned that poster (Gilzean?) Apparently it features in Trainspotting (the original) in one of the bedroom scenes when Renton is going cold turkey.
Spent a good time spraffing with him an an old school mate about that momentous day in May what it meant to us and hibbydom in general.

I really wouldn't worry about IP of anything belonging to (by proxy) Johnston Press. TSPL (and JP) is an utter clusterf*** and they're trying to keep The Scotsman going on a paid-for circulation of about 20,000 daily now.

i.e. they've bigger fish to fry before the inevitable happens.

If I were you I would contact people you can trust that are interested in copies and do so on the QT and raise extra funds for the charity push. You've only got to wait another five years until it's public domain anyhow!

A suggestion from me, to further increase the charity pot and maybe give a few more hibbies the chance to enjoy the poster/remember the occasion?

I appreciate the thinking behind the scheme to obtain copies. However if that was the case why would I bid £260 when I could pick up a copy for let's say £20.

Who knows I may one day soon provide a different charity connected with Hibernian the bono fide souvenir if successful with the bid.

It was a nice try but I'm sure Leithenhibby will wish to maintain the provenance of his lovely possession he is auctioning off for charity to well meaning bidders.

I think we can safely say there will be no photocopying of this item in any shape or form. These posters a extremely thin on the ground and I'd like to keep it that way to maximise the bidding for my chosen charity.

I can completely understand why many would like a copy of this piece of Hibernian history.

You've jumped off on one there.
Well done with your bid and I hope you get it, albeit for much more than you're offering now.
Boston suggested banging out A3 copies. If you know what you're bidding on, an original, then you'll know it's not sized at A3, nothing like it.
The 'nice try' bit doesn't do you any favours.
What action do you plan if say, Hibernian FC choose to start retailing copies at any size they like?

I'm actually pleased you have brought up the unnecessary wording I chose to use last night. I regretted it this morning saying what I did last night which was after my usual saturday night alcohol intake.

I hope no offence will be taken as I freely admit I should have been much more relaxed about it.

My brother who was born in 66 and was taken to the games at the start of the 70s had one of these until around the early eighties then it seemed to disappear so it is with a bit of nostalgia I'd like to bid on it

Sorry folks.

Oi sparrer. Your username would suggest you should know a bit about that punk rocker. I could photocopy my pic sleeves of 'Borstal Breakout' or 'I Don't Wanna' to any old punk that didn't know better.
Anyway, good luck with your bid and if your big brother is born in 66 he can only have introduced you to the Hersham boys :wink:

I think Bostons idea about reduced A3 copies for your cause is a good one. You've got the commodity there and you're only selling one original. Someone else will do it after all.

Agree. I'm not seeing what the problem is really.

Copying the original does not necessarily make the original worth less. Any bidder is bidding on the basis that it is the original poster that is up for grabs.

I've said for a long time that Hibs are missing trick with a retro goods range. The league cup poster is a rare item and one many older fans had on their walls. I'd love a copy of it now and taking into account copyright etc, would love to see it reproduced.

Would also like to see some collected Gilzean books. Maybe season 1972-73? Surely there would be enough of a market for select and well targetted goods?

Meanwhile well done to Leithen and the highest bidder so far. Good cause and admirable sacrifices all round methinks.

Don't you think it may be a good idea to start the bidding again with you now also potentially offering reduced sized prints of the original as the bidders too may be happy with a reduced sized print Leithenhibby?

I've never been involved in such a bidding process for an item where the seller then during the auction starts offering copies of the original item to others at a massive discount.

Are you suggesting a smaller print does not technically mean it is a copy?

It may not be technically the same as it is smaller but for me it is still a copy of the original picture.

And the bidders may also have been happy with a smaller print.

I'm out. It's not got the same appeal to me now because I've found myself being drawn into a type of argument which at the time of bidding I had no idea I would have.

No hard feelings though.

It's not exactly the same. You paid £50 for a print. This is the original poster that came with the EEN, close on 44 years ago.

Surely some are at the wind up.

Is there something about "original" poster that evades people. A copy is a copy.

As pointed out, there have been people making copies and flogging them on certain websites. This doesn't diminish the ORIGINALITY of the item for auction. Not quite grasping why this is such an issue. Feelng for the Leithen gadge, just give it a rest and either cop out or cough up!

I suspect you're right there. Having departed their historic North Bridge headquarters at the turn of the century for a purpose-built office at Holyrood, the Scotsman/Johnston Press now operate out of a single floor in Orchard Brae House. The nosedive in their fortunes has been breathtaking even by newspaper standards in these days of digital media.

I'd be amazed if any template or copyright documentation re the original poster still exists. Which is a shame in some ways as it's an iconic item and might have been something they could have reproduced to commemorate landmark anniversaries of the cup win (only six years until the 50th!). However, foresight does not appear to have been their forte and I was once told that the reason there are so few photos of the Famous Five era is because the picture editor of the time had most of the picture library's glass plate negatives destroyed to free up space!

Not an A3, not an A4, but the size, shape and paper the ****ing thing came on in early 1973. Magic.

I,m pretty sure they were all prints. If IRC they were sold at 50p a time by the EEN, I don't remember the EEN giving them away. Had the same poster on my wall as a kid.

As part of my fundraising I'm auctioning this original 72' League Cup poster.
I decided not to mount it so that you can see the condition and the 'Evening News Souvenir Poster' at the bottom.

A mount could be added to take away the corners, but I wanted to show the fact that this belonged to a 12 year old boy at the time and it's 44 years old on it's next anniversary.
