How do I buy something?

Every item has an Enquire button that opens an email with the item ID already filled in - just hit send, or add a question if you have one. You can also message me through the Facebook group where you found this catalogue. First come, first served.

Are the prices negotiable?

The prices shown are a fair guide, not a fixed demand - reasonable offers are genuinely welcome. The collection has been priced against real market comparables, honestly and on the low side. If you think a price is off for a particular item, say so and make an offer - just please keep it realistic; lowball offers on clearly-priced items won't get a reply.

Do you sell the whole collection, or big groups of items?

Yes - I'd genuinely welcome an offer for the entire collection, for all the programmes as one lot, or for any other grouping that suits you (a club, a region, a decade). Get in touch and we can work out a sensible price together - a serious job-lot offer will always be considered over individual sales.

How do I pay?

PayPal (paypal.me/CraigPenman) or bank transfer, once we've agreed the sale by email or message.

What about postage?

Postage is charged at cost on top of the item price - programmes and tickets travel well in board-backed envelopes (typically a few pounds within the UK). Larger items (framed pieces, balls, shirts) are quoted individually. Multiple items are combined into one package wherever possible, so buying several at once saves on postage. Local collection can also be arranged.

Are the signed items genuine?

Yes - I've owned this collection personally and can confirm the signed items are genuine, particularly the signed footballs and shirts, which were signed in person. Where a signature is identified on the item page, it also notes who it's believed to be and how confident that specific identification is (the signature itself being genuine and knowing exactly which player signed it are two different things) - close-up photos are provided throughout so you can see the signatures for yourself.

What condition are the items in?

Everything is photographed exactly as it is - what you see is what you get, and every item page notes any known flaws (tape, writing, creasing). These are decades-old matchday items from a genuine collection, not shop stock; expect honest age-appropriate wear unless stated otherwise.

Why is the collection being sold?

It's a one-off declutter of a genuine lifelong collection - over 1,100 programmes, tickets and pieces of memorabilia spanning five decades, mostly Scottish football with a strong Dunfermline Athletic heart. Once it's gone, it's gone.
