Pile of old Racingposts and big day race cards - Free to a good home

    Moving house soon and have 2 drawers full of old racing posts (mostly every Cheltenham festival race day since 2003, but also Kauto winning his last King George, Vinnie Roe winning his 4th Irish Leger) and piles of race cards. The only one I want is the one from Moscow Flyer's 2nd Tingle Creek (you can see me on the front page :D)

    Rarely if ever look at them and think it would be a waste of time moving them. Anyone want em? If someone does I'll want you to take them all, too much hassle to have you pick and choose.

    Based in North Dublin city, free to take away (will give regular posters preference if more than one person wants em). Will probably bin them within the week if nobody wants them. Reply here and if interested we can take it to PM to organise a time for collection

    I'll confess I am a hoader too. But not the RP ( you lunatic!) One of my most recent collections is the racecard from frankels goodwood win, a £1 win bet on the tote there @ 1/20 ( I kept the uncashed docket :)) & that Frankel flag they handed out. I reckon these are better saving than bank shares ( they might be worth something when I retire).

    I have most of the old Cheltenham RPs since about 2003 as well in my attic.

    Have racecards from every meeting ive ever been to as well.

    I dont hoard much but I cant bring myself to throw out those RPs.

    Have a few Frankel memorabilia myself, tote slip and another slip. Would have loved some of these, pity I missed the boat.

    Have loads of racecards myself from around 2001 - 2010ish, can't bring myself to throw them out. Kinda stopped going racing from around that time.

    Have racecard from George Washington's Guineas win and also Champions Day when Teofilo and HRE locked horns in The Dewhurst. Loads of Irish Derby cards too. Never ever took them out again to have a look at them.

    Have a collection of RP front pages when King Kieren appeared on them too during his Ballydoyle days :o
