Eck the bear 106 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I don't collect tickets, only programmes but this is a great item, probably worth a three figure sum, i'll investigate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Nice, won't be many of that kind of thing around, almost 100 years old and looks in reasonable condition.You'll have a lot of different kinds of people interested in that, the football clubs and fans/collectors obviously, and also those with interests in the history of Glasgow. Don't let it go too quickly. Do a little research first. Any specific or additional information on the background will add to the value, this is called "provenance". Any similar items your mum has too would help, and perhaps be just as important or more. You suggest your dad saved a lot of tickets ?Try and get it valued by a reputable source (established museum, auction house), but also try and find its true value yourself, it's possible there may be something similar on ebay at sometime. Don't let it go till you are assured of its value to your satisfaction. Or just keep it as the sentimental value to your family may be worth more. And most important, keep it in a plastic folder in a box, away from the sun and harm, so it does not get damaged or deteriorate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
