I'm not sure what you are talking about, but this is the first one I ever seen on eBay in 10 years and ask many members of my forum, it is VERY rare (you maybe thinking 63 Cotton Bowl, they go for around $100-$150 in OK condition).

There is not a pre-1970 mint LSU bowl program that sells for less than $200 on eBay (maybe the 68 Sugar Bowl)

The sports museum at LSU doesn't even have one.

Within two days of buying this for $400, I have had two offers of $800. If you have one mint, I would give you $800 for it right now and sell it for double.

I have never even seen one before now. I didn't even know what the cover looked like.

I have a board full of nothing but LSU collectors, not a single one of us had one until now (and one member has two 1908 Bowl programs)

Funny story on the purchase. It was listed a week ago Sunday. I did not see it until Wednesday night. I set my snipe at $625. Thursday afternoon, I check to see if anyone bid on it,and the guy added a BIN for $400 that day for no reason.

He calls me the next day to tell me he screwed up because he was contacted by several people, offering more than it sold for. He said he was honoring the sale and said he has email contacts of the guys who offered more.

I asked him why he added the BIN. He said it had no bids. He did tell me that it had 22 watchers on it. He had two other LSU regular game programs from that year and they had bids on them. They sold for $90 and $75
