Blackpool programmes needed

I gave away my entire collection of over 1500 Blackpool home and away programmes to a young Blackpool fan from Chorley when I got married and moved from St Annes to Horwich in 1976, it is a decision I have regretted ever since. During the Covid pandemic I had lots of spare time on my hands and I have been trying to get hold of Blackpool programmes that still have a special memory for me. John Cross has been very helpful and supportive but I still have a few Blackpool programmes that I would like to get hold of if anybody is willing to sell them to me, details now follow:-
Blackpool v Huddersfield (FA Cup 1952/53 season), Blackpool v Spurs (Div 1 1956/57 season), Blackpool aways (Div 1 1950/51 season) at Burnley, Sunderland, Newcastle, Stoke, Liverpool, Bolton and Huddersfield. My email address is derrill.carr@btinternet.com
 
I collected every programme from the 1952/3 season, including the FA Cup Final which I attended.
In September of 1953 I went on National Service, 3rd Royal Tank Regiment in Germany.
One day, after demob in 1955, and working at GPO in Blackpool, I looked in the drawer where my football collection,
including FA Cup Final, were kept.
The drawer was empty. I asked Ma where they were. She said "I didn't think you wanted them so I threw them away."
Anyone ever wanted to strangle their own mother? 😟
And She and Dad were Season Ticket holders at the time

Give @jockdodds a shout he has a garage full.,😉
 
Yes Jock Dodds has been very helpful and he has already sold me lots of programmes including full sets for several seasons and also put me in touch with other contacts who have also sold me lots of Pool programmes. I just need to dispose of Jock’s banana boxes now!!

My WTF have you done Mum moment was a tad later.
I had a large collection of early TRex/Bowie/punk/new wave vinyl. It numbered over 500 discs - on average worth about £25-£40 each with some gems too.

Mum's response was, "Well, now you've got a cd player...I've also thrown away lots of those mohair jumpers..."
 
Jock Dodds or the fella above from Facebook are the go to men. I am sure one of them would find any programme for you
