I don't really know about worth as it's not like collecting Star Wars figures With items like this they're only worth what people are willing to pay. On a side note, I know you said they're not for sell but if you did ever change your mind you should contact Brett. He collects a lot of old programmes, books and magazines (but he wouldn't ever part with them!)

While we're on the subject of good books about British wrestling, the Wrestling Furnace website has done a full scan of TV Times' cut-out-and-keep "KENT WALTON'S Top 50 Guide to Wrestling" from the early '70s. Highly recommended.

Re: 1970's book and programmes 6 Years, 3 Months ago  
i have some match programmes from the 1960's and they are all in black and white, these are originals and i never knew that The Rock's grand father Peter Maivia wrestled over here.

These programmes are from shows held at The Victoria leisure Centre, Nottingham. I brought them for £1.50 each

I wonder if they are worth anything.... Anyone know?

I came across a copy of Jackie Pallo's "You Grunt, I'll Groan" from the early 1980s last year. Am kicking myself that I no longer have it! :cry:
