Antiques Roadshow guest is lost for words as expert reveals shock value of old football ticket
AN ANTIQUES Roadshow guest was left floored after the expert revealed the value of their wrinkled up football ticket.
Sports memorabilia is said to be a popular area within auctions.
The visitor brought a wrinkled up football league ticket from the 1903 season to be looked at.
Upon glancing at the item, the expert told the guest it was a “golden ticket”.
He continued: “To be able to get into any ground, imagine if you had it today, it would be worth a fortune.”
The ticket wasn’t in awful condition; it had yellowed somewhat, had a tiny edge at the top, a slight rust mark where the staple was, and a thin old tape removal mark on the spine.
The expert then proceeded to inform the guest of the value of their item.
“I suppose you’d like to know how much it’s worth,” he said.
The guest replied: “Oh, yes please,” slightly nervous.
The expert responded: “£800-£1000.”
The guest looked shocked after hearing the value, and thanked the expert.
The Sun Online had a look on eBay to see what was top of the league when it comes to selling the best sporting memorabilia.
Graham Hill was one of the most renowned faces in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, winning the world championship in both 1962 and 1968.
