How to Buy
How do I buy something?
Every item has a Buy Now button that opens an email with the item ID already filled in - just add your name and delivery address and hit send. I'll confirm the item is still available and reply with payment details. Nothing is paid on the site itself, so there's no risk of paying for something that has already sold. Buying more than one? Just list all the item IDs in the same email. 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?
Once you've sent your email and I've confirmed the item is still available, I'll reply with my payment details for a simple UK bank transfer. Payment is always arranged by email after that confirmation - nothing is entered or paid on this website, so there are no card details to type in here and no chance of paying for something that has already sold.
What about postage?
For programmes, tickets, team sheets and other paper items, UK postage is a flat £2.80 (a large-letter A4 envelope, sent tracked via InPost) - shown next to each item's price. Larger items (framed pieces, balls, shirts) vary in size and weight, so their postage is left blank and confirmed by email before anything ships. Collection in person is free - just say so when you get in touch. Buying more than one item? Let me know and I'll combine them into one package and charge a single postage wherever they'll fit.
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.
Each one has a Buy Now button that opens an email with the item ID filled in - send it and I'll confirm it's still available and reply with payment details. You can also email orders@terracearchive.com directly with the item ID (e.g. FP-0042 or MEM-0011) if you have a question first, or to buy several items in one go. Also open to job-lot offers - the whole collection, all programmes, or any other grouping you'd like - get in touch to discuss.
