Question 1

Why collect football programmes?

Accepted Answer

Collecting football programmes is a rewarding hobby for fans and collectors alike. These programmes serve as historical snapshots of matches, players, and club culture, often featuring unique artwork, lineups, and articles that reflect the era. As time passes, older programmes become rarer and more sought-after, especially those linked to significant matches or legendary players. Their value tends to increase with age and condition, making them not only sentimental keepsakes but also potentially valuable collectibles.

Question 3

Why do we use acid-free non PVC bags?

Accepted Answer

Acid-free, non-PVC (polyvinyl chloride) bags are used for storing programmes to prevent damage from acids and plasticizers that can degrade the paper and ink over time. Acid-free materials ensure long-term preservation by preventing yellowing, brittleness, and other forms of decay, while non-PVC materials avoid the harmful effects of plasticizers found in PVC, which can leach out and damage programmes.
