Been following an eBay auction for Hearts v Hibs 1/1/73 programme (sold today for £74 which afaik is about par for that item?) and it got me thinking.
Some of you guys have a better handle on this than I have, so out of morbid curiosity - a question.
What is the most sought after Hibs programme out there, be it due to either rarity or price or importance or some other reason?
I always thought that the postponed Barcelona from 1960? would be the grail, and that it would never come up for sale. I managed to get it from Ebay and there's been another couple sold there since.Quote:

The other one required would complete my Hibs European aways. As has been mentioned before on this forum, Keflavik was thought to be a non issue but one appeared about 4 years ago. Very strange how no more came back with the players but it is now on my list.
Postponed issues are my pain.
Do you have a list of the ones you are after?Quote:

I have the Barca and Partick ones.
Not on me as I'm on holiday. I'll drop you a line when I get back.Quote:

I think these are the hardest since 1949.
You would say that G. :wink: Have you got the Dundee Reserves ?Quote:

I see the barcalona v hibs 1960 is on eBay at £1750 plus £40 p&p, this must be the most expensive?Quote:

Its probably a £500 to £600 prog tops and you will find that all the top Hibs collectors already have it, and bought it for considerably lower than that amount. Over the years, its been easier to find than the postponed home prog.:flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag: seven flags!!! (my fave number.).
It wasn’t that many years ago when I picked it up and it was quite a bit higher than £600.Quote:

I picked up a few rare ones a number of years back.
From 1888/89 i have Newcastle United v Hibernians which as far as i know is the first programme known to feature Hibs. Its a bit fragile given 131 years old & i have it framed.
From 1925/26 the first known (again as far as i know) home prog to have been printed was 22/8/25 against Killie. The good guys won 8-0 that day. From later that season i also have a single team sheet prog from an away game v Arsenal. I'm missing around another 40 from that season though so if anyone can help please let me know :greengrin
In terms of more recent rare ones i posted above about the printers proof from the St J postponed in 1968. ETB may have more to add on this one one day :greengrin. Also from 1985 a friendly i cant find record of away to Brightons Select on 28/7/85. Got this from our very own Hibeg at his usual knock down price. Not.
One of my favourites is the Gordon Smith testimonial v Man Utd. The programme itself it reasonably common but i have an original match report from the following day entitled 'Champions Clash - Hibs dazzle the men from Manchester' with a match report under the scoreline which was 7-3 to Hibs...
i'll try (again) to post some pics shortly..
Cheeky git 😢. That one was a bargain. I wonder how much a dealer would have asked for it 😂Quote:

I still need to find the 21/5/16 programme at a reasonable price. There must be loads kicking about but whenever I see them on sale they always seem to be far too excessive.
Well pal. Looks like one sold yesterday for £800 on eBay ! 😳Quote:

I know G, my point was that I estimated current value £800 to 1k. You were a bit lower 😀. I think it would be a new Hibs collector that bought it, not a Barca collector. There are not that many about for the value to drop to £500 or £600.
It’s just like the 2016 Scottish Cup run. Numerous copies of most programmes were kicking about. Now the final appears to be £50 standard. ICT away and Hearts home are much rarer.
Most Dealers don’t have copies so demand now exceeds supply.
Europeans, friendlies and 2016 run will always be the most collectible issues.
I've got two. I bought as much as I could on the way out the ground. I'm not ready to sell yet as I'm keeping one of them obviously.Quote:

If anyone is selling that 0-7 programme than I would love to buy it . For me thats the absolute pinnacle of programmes. I have never seen one on Ebay so to read that they are seen there at all is annoying. If anyone hears of one becoming available then please let me know.
Oh and the 25th March 1969 game against Kilmarnock
those two !
There is at least one 1/1/73 programme on eBay just now. BIN £150. Bit too rich for me though!!Quote:

The last time I recall one on ebay going for auction it fetched about £70. £150 is a bit OTT IMO although obviously its worth what someone is willing to pay. If its a "buy it now" seller and it doesnt go in the allocated time make the seller an offer.Quote:

Well I bought the 150 one, it was for a gift and I had only a few options. That one with the two other programmes I had a few bids on but it went to £121 plus a fiver postage and thats got writing all over the inside so for and extra £24 I got a clean one.
still would like one for myself but with a less stressful price!
happy though !
I had one in mint condition. Took it along to a function at ER for the League Cup Winners. Got 9 of the team autos which was brilliant.
Unfortunately Jimmy O Rourke laid it down on a table with a gravy stain , which seeped a bit on the programme.
Cue me going mental trying to clean it up, which I managed to do mostly
Jimmy looked at me as if I was daft 😂😂

Congratulations and well done mate, the important thing is you got what you wanted and you paid what you were willing to pay for it.Quote:

Not a Hibs programme but noticed there is a 1946/47 Victory Cup Semi Final replay programme between Celtic and Rangers on ebay currently bidding at £4100 with two days remaining. Heavy stuff.
It will go for higher. Nobody knew of its existence as it’s for the replay. I predict £5250.00 😳Quote:

Nothing sinister , it is just a rare programme, doesn’t turn up very often.
There are a couple of Aberdeen issues like this for some reason, it took me ages to get 1958/59:and even then only down to our friendly supplier looking out for me. There’s a regular Stirling Albion at home that’s apparently difficult too 61/62 I think.Quote:

Hibs lost 2-1, goal by Turnbull, and the programme is way overpricedQuote:

I can't imagine how this came to happen - I'd love to know the story. Very unique.
He was at the game, he provided "expert analysis" with Pat Nevin for Sportscene so I guess someone could have bumped into him and asked him to sign it. He obviously had links to both clubs.Quote:

I believe it failed to sell. Initial ask was £60.Quote:

Hun fans are now getting wind that this programme is valuable and are beginning to sell which is driving the price down to around £50. Saying that I've sold 2 recently, both with match tickets for £75+
1947/48 Hibs v Rangers Scottish Cup Semi final programme currently on ebay. You'll need deep pockets the seller wants £750 for it.
It’s the same seller that was recently selling a handful of pretty rare Hibs programmes but his prices are well over double what I’d consider sensible. I see a couple of them were withdrawn, not sure if this means they sold or just withdrawn. It was a pre war 33/34 I think and a Celtic hibs 49/50 friendly advertised at £900.Quote:

He bought the Hibs v Q Park from me on eBay for £350. His £750 asking price was quite frankly ridiculously OTT, as was £900 for Celtic v Hibs. £500ish is about the right price I would sayQuote:

I've bought 3 programmes, and only 3 programmes, this year; hearts semi, SJ semi, and SJ final.
These programmes clearly come with some form of supernatural inherent bad luck, does that make them more valuable?
I'm also not sure if I can bring myself to ever buy a programme again. :panic:
Not surprised and think it will only go up, ultra rare !!!!Quote:

Interesting comment, I had an example of that quite recently.Quote:

Within a couple of hours I had offers of £75 and £80 but turned them down as I thought there was maybe more to come, with about 10 minutes left on the auction it had edged up to £92 but in the last minute it rocketed up to £181.50. Couldn't believe my luck.
I asked around and seemingly anything Rangers pre 1950 is going for silly money.
Might be worth a few pounds for St Johnstone fans unfortunatelyQuote:

£225 final price. I suppose the team changes and fold affected the price. I see another one is on with a bid of £149.Quote:

Anyone got a rough idea of the value of the 2016 final signed by Gray, Hanlon, McGregor, Boyle & Stevenson with match ticket mounted and framed?
I also have the 2007 CIS Final signed by everyone bar Stevenson in the middle section, and then Stevenson on the white border of the frame it's in.
They've been scribbled on? That's a shame. Lucky to get a £5 now, but I'll give you £10 to be nice...Quote:

Sitting at £49.99 and it's in bits.
Makes me all the more grateful for the one that I got from hibeg a few years ago.
Of all the post war finals this is by far the rarest (well apart from the 1948 replay).
It was a pleasure Scoops :flag:Quote:

I checked an hour or so before the auction closed and the bid at that point was at £160 plus 20% commissions. I think that’s what it finished at.Quote:

Yes, an unused ticket for this match sold for just over £500 a couple of weeks ago, a couple of others have sold for around £250. I think it is the ticket rather than the programme that is interesting buyers?Quote:
