Collecting Snooker Programmes

[nicky1982]

Do many people collect Snooker Tournament programmes like for the Worlds or the Masters?

I usually download it from YouTube. There are tons of videos available and new uploads are coming everyday.

I read it has the printed booklet programmes, not the TV programmes

Hi, no I was thinking about snooker programmes in booklet form, like the football programmes equivalent. I have got some from attending the Masters and was wondering do many people collect these.

Yep, quite collectible.

I regrettably sold my collection - well over 200 of them. Wished I kept them now

There's a lad that plays at my club that collects them. Why do you ask?

[DeanH]

have a look on ebay, there are often a few bouncing around

Thanks for the replies.

I have around 40. Most of them are from the 1970s & 80s.

There was a website a few years owned by the late J Michael Young that had cover scans of a vast collection of snooker programmes. Such a shame that it disappeared after he passed away. It would be great to have a website with full scans of old programmes, I'm sure there wouldn't be any major copyright issues with something like that.

My most prized programme is the 21st edition of the B&H Masters from 1995 w/a colorful cover montage of all the previous winners. Another programme that I'd love to own but haven't managed to get hold of yet is from the 1986 B&H Irish Masters, which has a lovely cover with caricatures of all 12 players that competed in that years tournament. If anyone's got one that they'd be willing to sell then please get in touch.
