Re: Official City Programmes
I'm posting this for my mate (who reads Bluemoon but has not signed up to post) who has recently moved and no longer wants to keep his 3,000-strong collection of City programmes from 1945-2000.
He is interested in selling them all – but in reference to your post he would like to indicate that he has the 2 League Cup Home programmes from the 60s you mention + the following below pre-1960 if of interest.
He also has many friendlies and testimonials which you may or may not have to supplement your collection post-1960.
Condition varies from excellent to average (with occasional token missing, etc.) – but all are well-presentable.
If you are interested, please (PM) reply and I’ll pass on your interest and details.
