Old programmes

[lazzer]

Hi All looking for help on an old program a mate has. Its supposed to be FA Cup final program 1949 Wolves v Leicester. However his program is different to all the others on sale on eBay. He does have an actual ticket as well and I was thinking of making him and offer just put off by the difference. Wondered if his was a post match issue as it does say souvenir . Any (helpful) ideas ?

Sadly, the programme is practically worthless, possibly a few quid to a completist, as it’s just a non-official programme, printed up by some printer (similar things appeared through to the late 1960s at cup ties and internationals) to rip off the unwary not familiar with the official programme, produced by the clubs or the FA. Inside I suspect will be very generic and not very up to date stuff about the game, little or nothing about the two teams or how they got to Wembley.

Might have some value if autographs or press reports are with it, but apart from the nostalgia value to the owner or family, few programme collectors have any interest in these things.

Sorry.

ETA. The ticket is worth something. £20 upwards depending on condition at a guess. Lots of reproductions about, though this doesn’t appear to be one.

It is 70 years old, to be fair

Boc's insights on Page 2 are very interesting though.
