I just picked this up from a seller. I am sure I over payed like usual especially cause this back, but I figured I needed it for my ticket run. Anyone have any idea as to its value? I can not find any comps anywhere.

Hey guys, sorry for the duplicate listing haha. Don't even know how that happened. Anyone wanna give me some info on this ticket? I'm keeping it but would just like to know an approx value.

Stephen,
A Rex Barney no-hitter ticket in nicer shape would sell for $175- $225.
Because of the glue on the back plus the fact that it appears to be trimmed (using scissors?) at the perforation instead of being torn, I would estimate your stub's value being somewhere in the $100 range.

I hope this is helpful...

I can't add anything on value of the ticket, but it's a neat treat for me to see it. My grandfather was a die-hard Brooklyn fan going back to the late 1910's. When I was a kid he told me many times about Rex Barney's no-hitter against the hated Giants. Many years later when I was designing the graphics at Oriole Park at Camden Yards I got to meet Rex, who was the O's PA announcer. That afternoon talking to Rex Barney and him telling me first hand about the no-hitter that was such an important memory of my grandfather's is one of my favorite baseball memories. His life story is pretty interesting, from a young can't-miss prospect to failure and the brink of suicide and then to reemergence as the Orioles beloved PA man. A real class-act Rex Barney (http://infinitecardset.blogspot.com/2015/05/197-rex-barney-trying-to-find-his-way.html) was.
