Condition
The condition of the group is overall superb. The 1949 cover exhibits a central crease and right edge cover tear. The 1950 'Mud Bowl' program is excellent with very minor surface creases to the front and back covers. The 1951 program is excellent with minor surface cover creases. The 1952 program is superb. The 1953 program exhibits some spine wear, the lineup card requires re-stapling and exhibits some pencil marks. The 1956 program is superb. Both 1957 programs are excellent. The 1957 'Souvenir Programme' shows minor surface cover wrinkles and staining to the inner lineup page. The ticket to the game is stapled to the inner page and has been ripped in half. The alternate 1957 programme is very good with a minor top edge spine tear and pen marks to lineup page. The 1958 and 1959 programs are superb. All programs retain their lineup pages. The 1949 program does not show a traditional lineup page but information as to whether it would have originally is lacking.
