Grey Cup Programmes, 1970 to 1989

N.B.: The Grey Cup programmes from 1976 through the mid-1980s consist largely of advertising--every alternate page within an article or section is generally a full page ad, and there are fairly long stretches of ads in between each article.

Programmes up to and including 1977 are staple bound, subsequent issues are glue bound.

I shall gradually include the contents of the GC programmes from 1983 onward as time permits.
