Marvin Berglas's Magic

Marvin Berglas is one of those names I grew up with instinctively connecting him with the Arsenal. In fact it has taken Google to find out he is in fact a magician which explains the title above!

In the programme from Everton at home in 1978/79 he is giving his views on programme collecting. I hope, as he is a magician, he can bring my collection back to me (!).

Interesting the prices he quotes from over a third of a century ago.

The 1923 FA Cup Final he reports being sold for 95 quid while another favourite is Manchester United's last game pre Munchen air disaster when they played at Highbury in 1958. That programme goes for six pounds!

However he blots his copybook by suggesting the Everton programme itself could well be worth a few bob in a few years time...not yet it ain't but an interesting piece indeed for people who like collecting programmes.
