Same football game, two programs

[smotan_02]

Ok Mike, how about this one. Dealt with alot of programs and never saw the teams not get printed on the center page. I'm sure it was a QA/QC miss, but how often do you think this would happen?

Note: this is from a 1959 TCU at Texas program.

Wow! Talk about an unhappy fan! I have no idea how often it happened/happens but all of us know how often our office copiers spit out blank sheets. What you have in your program is the ad insert the school purchased with the ad. These were almost free because the tobacco company or Coca Cola paid the distribution company for the ad.

Another anomaly I have seen is different page counts. At a Rams-49ers game back around 2000 I bought a program going in and like every collector I picked up a couple on the way out that were left in seats. My program had 128 pages, one of the ones I picked up had 88 pages. All of the local ads and copy were not included.

As a publication collector one of my current disappointments is the new wave of free programs, many pro teams and now several colleges just have dispensers at the entrances where you can pick a few "digest" size programs. From a business side of operations it appears the teams/schools are losing a ton of ad revenue with these freebies?
