Title: Any philatelists on here? Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, October 12, 2016, 18:07:31 Just wondered if anyone would be interested in this before I put it on eBay.
It's a First Day Cover from the Manchester United vs Swindon Town 1993 Premier League game, signed by Alex Ferguson and John Gorman. (http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p210/smaisey/MUFC_STFC_FDC_zpslcexc7bm.jpg) Open to sensible offers :) Title: Re: Any philatelists on here? Post by: Kinky Tom on Wednesday, October 12, 2016, 18:22:50 Fergie said our midfield ran the show that day.
I was in a box for it, we were very fortunate, considering only about 200 away fans were welcomed to Old Trafford for the match, that a chap I was in a barbershop group with - yeah that's right, I was a tennor in a barbershop group in my early to mid teens - worked for Sharp. Every couple of years he would be offered a box for a game and that season it very fortunately fell for the visit of STFC so he asked my dad and me to join him. It was a good experience what with the three course meal and seeing behind the scenes a bit but you cannot beat the 'terraces' on match day. I spotted Giggs and Ince post match and was on my way to get autographs when I noticed Gorman, Bodin and Taylor to my right and naturally left the Utd pair hanging. Lost those autographs years ago.

Plenty like to collect that shit, to show their credentials. If it was Town memorabilia,then much more modestly priced. I've a mate who buys Town stuff on e-bay for very little. Bizarrely he's a Toon fan, but decided that seeing as he lives here, he'd bring his son up as Town fan, and then pass on the collection when he's older. Funny fish eels.

Probably more like 2000.

I was in a barbershop group with - yeah that's right, I was a tennor in a barbershop group in my early to mid teens. That is even cooler. Title: Re: Any philatelists on here? Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, October 12, 2016, 18:56:33 I've no idea what it's worth in all honesty, so i've listed it on eBay and will see what happens.

Looking I reckon you priced right. Whats that bollocks though about first ever league meeting? I'm sure I saw us play them in the 70's in the league? Title: Re: Any philatelists on here?

Sent from my SM-G935F Hmm, didn't look like that many and I remember not being able to get tickets despite us being season ticket holders, pre-internet and such it was harder living 60 miles away I suppose. That is even cooler. You have no idea ::) Title: Re: Any philatelists on here?
