Collector-Grade Packaging
How are my programmes protected during transit?
Every item is housed in a high-quality archival polypropylene sleeve. We then use bespoke, heavy-duty board-backed envelopes to prevent bending and ensure your memorabilia arrives in the exact condition described.
Do you provide additional protection for older 1950s programmes?
Yes. Vintage items from the 1950s and 60s receive double-board reinforcement and acid-free backing cards where appropriate. We understand these are historic artifacts and treat them with the utmost care.
Condition Grading Guide
We take pride in our accurate grading system. Every item from the 1950s to 2026 is meticulously checked for creasing, score-sheet markings, and staple condition to ensure you know exactly what you are adding to your collection.
MINT Collectors Quality
The program is in the same condition as when it left the printer. No creasing, no team changes or score markings. Staples are original, rust-free, and firm.
EXCELLENT Well Preserved
Very minor signs of handling. May have a faint vertical fold. Score-sheet is clean. Staples might show very slight discolouration but no 'bleed' onto the paper.
GOOD Standard Grade
Shows typical age wear. May have completed score-sheets or small team changes. Creasing is evident but does not spoil the cover art. Staples may be aged.
FAIR Historic Interest
Visible wear, heavy creasing, or detached staples. Ideal for completing collections where rarity is the priority over aesthetic condition.
100% Official Heritage
