Condition report:
The programmes show signs of age-related wear consistent with paper ephemera of this period. Visible issues include minor creasing to the covers and edges, light corner wear, and general yellowing or tanning of the paper. The F.K. Sarajevo programme exhibits more significant tanning across the front cover. Overall, the items appear to be in good collectible condition with no major tears or missing sections visible from the exterior.
