Stump up for Wisden’s set

A RARE collection of Wisden’s Cricketers Almanacks valued at up to £15,000 is going under the hammer at Lyon and Turnbull.

Specialist Theo Burrell is pictured leafing through one of the books, which were first published in 1864. Simon Vickers of Lyon and Turnbull, said: “It is very rare to have the complete set, although the first 16 years and 1882 are facsimiles.”
