Michael Olise, who came through Reading's Academy, might just be the best player in the world right now #readingfc

A new addition to my #readingfc collection is a lovely Pinnace Cabinet-size (6x4) card from the early 1920s. The largest of the three sizes issued, I've now completed the 'hat-trick' for Alec Christie

From the very old to the very new: Two cards I've added to my #readingfc collection this year, shown together for contrast. A stunning large Pinnace cigarette card from 1920, and a Panini trading card recently released.

Please have a look at my #readingfc website if you haven't yet. It's purely a means of sharing my collection and some of our club's history, and is 100% non-profit chrisdlee.com

Newspapers are not designed to be kept, so are printed on cheap acidic paper (even more so in the past). This means that over time they will dry out and yellow with age, making them very unstable. Here are a few old papers I have relating to #readingfc that have seen better days!

New Addition to my collection: A lovely rosette issued after #readingfc set the record for consecutive league wins at the start of a season (which still stands after 41 years). I've got a few of these now, and they make a nice little collection in themselves.

Player photos are another thing I enjoy collecting, but, again, they are surprisingly difficult to get hold of! #readingfc

A new addition for my #readingfc collection: Another incredibly scarce team supplement of which I have several, and I absolutely love them. These are very delicate and, as is usual, this one has been folded.

The 'Reading Standard' and 'Berkshire Chronicle' newspapers both employed talented cartoonists in the pre-war era, and these were published after Reading had beaten Oldham 6-1 at Elm Park in January 1929 #readingfc
