A guide to buying collectible Everton football programmes

Collectable Everton football programmes are widely available both in person and on the Internet. Searching for one particular programme from many years ago can prove a frustrating but ultimately rewarding pursuit; there's no feeling for a collector such as filling a season or even decade of matches with old football programmes.

Club-specific

Websites Internet presence such as Evertonprogrammes.co.uk specialise in selling Everton football memorabilia, particularly match programmes.
Search through the archives, which are categorised into each individual season, to see if you can find the collectable programme you are searching for. Forums Everton Football Club forums are also a good place to track down old programmes. Often, fans of the club looking to sell their old programmes will advertise them through official and unofficial club forums. Furthermore, you can visit the forum and ask their members whether they can sell you that particular programme. Forums often have a specific sub-section dedicated to the trading of old club programmes. Programme fairs Club's and their fan groups commonly organise one or two programme fairs each year. Here, collectors can meet, buy and sell old Everton programmes - there is often a plentiful range of programmes dating back many decades at club-organised programme fairs.
