Need some help please.

looking for some advice or suggestions.

My father in law was a life long Chelsea fan. Sadly he lost his fight to cancer at the start of the season.

He has been collecting match day programmes since the 1950s and has every home and away plus cup games for every season all in a proper Chelsea ring binder folder for each season and majority still in their wrappers.

so looking for advice on would this collection be worth anything and best place to look to sell them.

Ideally would prefer them to go to a good home.

any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

First, condolences. I'd probably start with the club, they might be interested in a piece of history. Failing that, if you're up for selling, maybe try eBay. Good luck.

As Dermott said, probably try the club first.

Failing that list them individually on eBay, you'll probably have more chance of them selling than all together. Or perhaps list them a season at a time. If you have any from May 1964, i'd be interested if you could DM me?

My condolences.

There are specialist Sports Auction houses in the UK. That might be another option to try ?

e.g. https://www.sportingoldauctions.co.uk/

Put "Football Auctions" into Google Search and you'll find some others.
