1913-1916 Michigan Football Tickets/Postcards

[ColgateFootball]

Picked up these 1913-1916 Michigan Football tickets/postcards in a scrapbook. Any ideas on the value? I've looked around, but it seems like Michigan tix from this era don't pop up that often.

thanks,
Ryan

They sell well but you did not get very desirable opponents and the condition is not great. Still though, I would think you can get around $100 each for the tickets.

Great Lot Ryan!! Nice pick up. For those years (1914-1916), those opponnets are as desirable as you'll gonna get as Michican hadn't come into itself yet, and Penn and Cornell were near the top and the best opponents Michigan faced. That being said, definite conditions isues and I wouldn't even go as high as $100. Here is my estimate based on condition, how much of the ticket is present, and context:

-1913 Penn: $40
-1914 Cornell: $60
-1914 Penn: $45
-1915 Cornell: $70 (if better condition, much more, as Cornell was undefeated and Nat. Champs in 1915, so very desierable ticket to the right collector)
-1916: Penn: $50
-Mich/Mac RPPC: $150 maybe more - this is the gem in the lot. Great RPPC!!
-Frosh RPPS: $50 - 70

I think to the right Michigan collector, these could bring $100 or more on eBay. I have sold some vintage Michigan tickets and there was a good bit of interest and bidding. Both Rhys and Joe make good points.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

[smotan_02]

Nice lot Ryan. I just saw these pop up on eBay, didnt realize they were your tickets. I'll watch with interest. Good luck!

[ColgateFootball]

Thanks. Was going to list them as BIN/BO, but I'm heading out on vacation til next Wednesday. Wanted to get them listed, but didn't want to not be able to respond to offers. We'll see how it goes.

Wasn't that the George Sisler era at Michigan? Any added value because of that? He did play football as well as baseball there, correct?

[vintagesportscollector]

I don't think he played Football there. With a quick seach cannot find any reference to him actually playing football there. He was a football star in HighSchool. Found this passage in his Biography..
