RARE PRE - WAR WW2 FOOTBALL PROGRAMME CRYSTAL PALACE V TORQUAY UNITED 1939
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:30411967 |
Ultra-rare pre-WW2 Division three (South) Programme for Palace V Torquay on the 28th January 1939. Palace finishing second behind Newport County but if i'm correct only one-up-one-down so they stayed where they were with the following season (1939-40) being abandoned due to the outbreak of WW2.
This programme is in absolutely Incredible condition. Clean, sharp. No writing or creases. Looks like its been kept in a hermetically sealed vault for the past 90 years. Just a strange disco...louring along the centre of the middle page. Merest hint of staple rust. Must be sent Special Delivery.
I COMBINE POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES. CONTACT ME BEFORE PAYING. PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH THE POST. GETTING "WHERE'S MY STUFF?" EMAILS AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS WHICH IS JUST RIDICULOUS. HAVE HAD TO REFUND PEOPLE AND THEN ITS TURNED UP (those that have been honest and told me that is). Trying not to make everything Recorded or Special Delivery but we're headed that way. Cannot keep refunding dishonest people (forced to give refund by ebay, item then arrives, does the buyer inform me? No, keeps item and the refund, great). PLEASE SEE POSTAGE RULES BEFORE BIDDING. Thanks. Buyer Pays Post (please see rules/rant below!). Paypal Only. SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS. Let me know if you want tracking. People ask for "Tracking Details" when they've paid two quid post and it hasn't popped through their letterbox 48 hrs after paying!. If you haven't requested and paid for Tracking...then it isn't! So there aren't any details. I always keep proof of postage but that's where my responsibility ends. I've posted it, can't do any more. 99.9% of items get to where they're going but the 0.01% cause more grief than the rest put together. It can't be simply "its been 2 weeks gimme my money back". We HAVE proof of postage we don't have proof it wasn't delivered. Postage times are being stretched now more than ever so please be patient. I don't click "dispatched" because i wouldn't get anything else done and i get frustrated at ebay wanting to infiltrate every single aspect of the transaction. COSTS. IF I THINK IT WILL GO "BIG" THEN THE POSTAGE WILL REFLECT EITHER RECORDED OR SPECIAL DELIVERY. IF YOU DON'T WANT THIS EMAIL ME IF YOU WIN AND I WILL AMEND DOWN HOWEVER THE RESPONSIBILITY THEN TRANSFERS TO YOU.
Everything posted First Class now during the crisis. PLEASE be patient. Its £2 for a Badge, Football ticket, Postcard type item. £3 for a small-ish Football Programme. If you object to these prices for me to put in a protective plastic sleeve/wallet, re-inforce with cardboard, envelope it up and drive round trying to post 30-40 items (lot of PO's limiting the intake) then that's fine, exercise your prerogative and do not bid, its a free country, just as i exercise mine to get all the stuff to my humble abode in the first place. I will safely recycle packaging where i can and never thought anybody would object to this.
OVERSEAS. Too many issues (disputing and then escalating a case to Paypal within two weeks of paying for the item...its taking two weeks within the UK in some cases!). All Overseas must now be Tracked/Signed for. Sorry but the few spoil it for the many as usual. I also don't know where the items are ultimately destined for so i'll refund any postage difference (pounds not pennies) so don't worry..but i might need a nudge, lot on.
Big thanks to the VAST majority of respectful, easy-to-deal-with, bursting-with-commonsense buyers. Stay safe.
