Most programs contain photographs, biography and history of the home team and the visiting stars photos. Diagrams of the stadium, seating plan, schedule, ticket prices, rosters, line-ups, how to keep score and vintage advertisment are common features. Many fans purchase a program at the game to keepscore, for reading material or to secure autographs. Programs from when a record was broken command premium value. Condition and scarcity also effect value. Regular game programs from the 1970's up run under $25, but vintage, scarce and rare programs run in the thousand of dollars.
