anyone on here collect footy records at all?

[langers1971]

i was wondering if anyone on here is into collecting old footy records, i am a hawks man myself with a very large collection over the last 40 years, and a few of my mates also collect records, but i don't know of anybody who collects st kilda records, so if anyone on here is a record collector, let me know, i'd love to hear about your collection, what you are looking for etc.

cheers

Hey Langers....welcome.

I have been collecting Grand Final records for a few years now.

I have every year from 1969 to 2007. Always on the look out for those previous including a '66....have to save my bills for that one though.

[saint66au]

Yeah I have a reasonable collection from 1979 thru to 2000-odd

Have stopped buying it ever week though..but I do buy a GF record very year and keep it. I have a '66 GF record and one for pretty much each finals game the Saints have played since

[Bernard Shakey]

Have converted most of my vinyl to CD or MP3.

[saintdooley]

i dont collect from every game...but i do from all the interstate games i go to.
every time i have bought a record for a saints game in melbourne in the H&A season we have lost, so i only buy interstate!

[riccardo]

I have 95% of the records from Saintys victories since 2003, but they all have the scores in them.

I've got "clean" copies of special ones, like all Finals records, plus Harveys 300, the "Heritage" records, etc.

[Oh When the Saints]

They are too expensive now. Not worth buying anymore IMO. Would be fascinated to see sales data from the last decade for the Footy Record.

The one for the Socceroos game was $10

Even the A-League ones are $5 - now THATS a rip.

[Sainterman]

I have most from about 1977 to 1993, then only Saints Finals after that....

Love looking at the ones when Plugger was around. Marking the goals in used to become very difficult as you would invariably run out of space, which back then was always a good thing!

i sell records at non-saints games, and the amount of people that buy them is pretty funny. i rate them very low, just a book with the same crap in them every week except the middle page! i think you could say about 1/6 of a crowd would buy records, but at the finals about 1/3 would buy, and come GF day im sure just under 1/2 the crowd buys, and especially if there is an interstate team playing because the fans go home and take records back to their sons etc.....for the cats v port GF a lady and her friendbought 17 records off me, presants for family and friends back in adelaide, and dont ask me what $15x17 equils!

[SaintBot]

and dont ask me what $15x17 equils!

maths and english not a priority at xavier?

no
only sport

[plugger66]

If 15 times 17 equils 3250 what does 15 subtroodinding 17 equil.

[happy feet]

I have the 1966 Grand Final Record. My Dad, who was at the game kept it and gave it to me a few years ago. Not that I would ever part with it but I wonder what it would be worth.

I hope to match it with a 2008 GF record.

[saint66au]

and dont ask me what $15x17 equils!

I would have thought that the lady who bought them off you might have asked though Dools

yeah, thank god they invented calculators on phones!

[saintbrat]

well ten times = $150
+ 5 times = 75
+ 2 times = 30

so that would be $255?

but I'm guessing in the rush before a game even thats too hard to work out.

One sold on E-Bay a while ago for $650.

i have a massive collectionof records dating back to 1981 to 2007 including every saints final, every grand final, most finals records and the saints version of the 10 in a row for 2004.

ask me a specific record and i'll most likely have it

[esaint66]

hey langers you wouldnt happen to have a copy of the 71 grand final record because i have a lighter jk

btw does anyone on here collect WEG posters?

[Enrico_Misso]

I've got about 600 going back to 1970.
Great to flick through the old ones and read the articles.

Agree the modern ones are a rip-off.

The first ones I bought were 5 cents.
They were only half A4 size (is that A5?) and only about 40 pages.
But they were more interesting and practical than the glossy overpriced collection of advertising that you get today.

yeah i love flicking through them and reading the articles such as player of the week and reading the upcoming events in the club notes section.

but i disagree when you guys say there overpriced think about it there $3.50 and thats a weekly rap up of the whole afl, there a momento and its got the club list in them. think aboiut it INSIDE FOOTBALL is almost twice as much and if you buy the record there is alot about your team in it.
