Condition report:
The programmes exhibit signs of age-related wear consistent with handled matchday ephemera. Common defects include creasing to covers and corners, surface scuffing, and light soiling. The 1971 Arsenal programme shows darkening to the orange print. General edge wear and minor bumping are present across the collection. While not inspected internally, covers suggest light tanning or foxing to the page edges.
