That is amazing Gavin I wonder whatever happened to that young fresh faced lad on the cover of the Rotherham programme from 2006
Brilliant Gavin.Would love to see a small section talking about some of the more random ‘difficult to find’ ones. Stuff like the Portsmouth newspaper (1980), Torquay postponed game (1991) etc etc.
Hello Gavin,Brilliant pal and can I say thanks for all the help with all my research and procurement of all my collection you have provided in the past. So fellow anoraks/ collectors where do we go from here? I am pushing 10.000 at least (not all Rovers, some other rarities, just quirky collections Irish Cup Finals etc. On average all have a profit value such as Accrington's last league game (first time), Third Lanark rarities, 1938-39 cup final, so until I get relegated to the shed for overcrowding "Its the programmes or you!" can we look to a way forward? What about a Rovers swap/sell/exchange/buy forum? Rules- no exploitation but a fair price? I recently lost out on a Rovers v Villa 4th replay at WBA when I dropped out at over £230, same with a Bury frozen pitch special, and also Everton at home same 50's period. As Gavin said we are both missing the Rovers v Spurs 1947/48 home so god forbid if we are betting against each other, inevitable on e-bay for that one. I talk in extremes but collecting is a fun and rewarding hobby. What are folks thoughts about developing a wants/ needs forum within this?
Very nice!You've got the age-old problem when scanning magazines of shadowing, and also the other side of the page 'ghosting' through the paper. This can be removed - as well as the colours of the original being enhanced and restored - using the freeware GIMP.If you're interested, would you like to send me a few images and I can show you how much they can improved?
We can, but wouldn't the obvious place for this be in the For Sale/ wanted section?
