About 3 months after Seville Uefa Cup Final the Celtic Shops suddenly were selling reprints of the Official Uefa Cup programme. They are on sale at £5, or free if you opt for a subscription to one of the many Celtic promotions.

10,000 were reprinted at Celtic's request.

Now if they were reprints you would think they would say this on them. No, they are identical in almost every way.

Colour differences have been looked for. Even if they are there in slight tone variations, this will not help. Exposure to light can change programme colour shades very easily. This is not the answer.

Myself and others have looked at how to spot a reprint. Only near test will be regarding the stick on postcard. And would you believe it? This is the only thing which can be removed or have its position altered to deceive.

The postcard on the original and the reprint is mounted on PAGE 3 with 2 spots of glue. The position of the postcard varies between the original and the reprint.

See the image above. The postcard on the original is stuck on the lower half of the page. It is found overlaying the identical images on the page.

The postcard on the reprint is found on the top half of the same PAGE 3, stuck on where it covers the contents text.

These are my own opinions on the matter. If you have any other information please contact me.

eBay is now flooded with "the Official uefa Final programme". Some may be reprints, others will be originals, who knows
