Two Boxes of Retro and Vintage Football Annuals
This lot comprises two boxes of retro and vintage football annuals, presented in blue Class 1 storage boxes. The first box contains a run of Shoot Annuals, with titles legible on the spines including the 1972, 1977, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987 editions, alongside an FA Soccer Book for 1982 and further FA Soccer Books for Boys. The second box holds a quantity of Topical Times Football Book titles, with the series name printed on the spines and covers, including a larger hardback Topical Times Football Book featuring a footballer on the front cover. The publications range across the 1970s and 1980s and offer a broad view of the football annual format of that period.
Condition and Collector Interest
The annuals are offered as a mixed group within their storage boxes, and individual condition varies from title to title. Spines and covers show the general signs of age expected from books of this era, and the lot has not been individually examined for every page. Buyers should inspect the photographs and the lot in person where possible. The mix of Shoot Annuals, FA Soccer Books and Topical Times Football Books makes this lot of particular interest to collectors of football memorabilia, retro children’s publications and anyone seeking to build a run of annuals from the 1970s and 1980s.
