Condition report:
The 1968 European Cup Final programme shows typical signs of age, including creasing to the covers and minor edge wear. The 1971 Ipswich programme exhibits general handling wear and minor toning consistent with its age; the signature remains clear and distinct. The 1979 FA Cup Final programme is housed in a protective plastic sleeve and appears to be in good overall condition.
