Town Programme Sells For £1,000 Thursday, 7th Dec 2023 10:31 A programme from a game in Town’s first season in the Football League, 1938/39, changed hands for £1,000 at auction earlier this month.
The programme for the Blues’ away game at Brighton & Hove Albion on October 8th 1938 was sold by Sporting Gold for £1,000 at their sale on December 1st, well above the estimate of £110 - £120.
It’s believed only one Town programme has previously fetched more, a single sheet programme from the Blues’ home game with Crystal Palace from the same season having sold for more than £1,100.

Ive been offered 30 pounds for my 1978 fa cup final programme. I said put another zero on the end and i might think about it. I actually purchased two programmes on the day thinking they might become valuable one day. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | |

Funnily enough, I also have two programmes for the '78 FA Cup Final. If anybody wants them I was thinking about £30 plus TWO zeroes! They must be very rare... as far as I know there are only four in circulation!!! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | |

I have my grandad's original matchday programme from our first ever match as a professional team (which is in pretty good nick. Other than the front and back page are separated [but still complete] it looks new!). The match was 29th August 1936 against Tunbridge Wells Rangers & he has marked in pencil "w" on the fixtures page so Ipswich clearly won, I know for sure this is a genuine programme. ITFC then decided to join the football league and our first home game was against Southend United on 27th August 1938. I have what I assume must be an original programme from that match too, I say assume as it is in mint condition and looks like it has just come off the press! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | |

There are hundreds, even thousands of 78 Cup Final priogrammes around. They have a limted value. £30 seems reasonable to me if you want to sell them. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | |

Careful 1967. From memory the Southend programme was reprinted & inserted in a matchday programme, presumably in 1988 to celebrate 50 years. Would explain the mint condition! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | |

I have a 1978 FA Cup Final programme signed by the players of both teams. Any idea what that might be worth? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | |

Chickenstochurchmans you are right, My Grandad never went after the 1960s and I am sure as I can be the one I have is the original | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | |

I remember an Ipswich Aldershot programme from the late 1930s selling for £1,350 at Nick Barber Auctions a few years ago - there were two bidders - one in the room and one on the phone - and they just threw prices at each other £500 - £700 - £1,000!!! se20blue - what would you think the 1978 Man U -v- Ipswich programme (match played on 18/11/78) with the incorrect date of 20/11/78 could make? (there are two other runs of it - one with 18.11 (with the 20th blacked out, and another run with just with correct date of 18/11/78 | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | |
