Posted By: <b>Brian</b><p>I finally got around to scanning this into my PC. I am a complete novice on early tickets. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Hopefully someone can provide some background to the tickets, how when they changed, rarity, etc...<br /><br />Any dialogue would be appreciated.<br /><br />Brian<br /><br /><img src="http://home.insightbb.com/~scantland/1902_Cardinal_Ticket_Front.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://home.insightbb.com/~scantland/1902_Cardinal_Ticket_Back.jpg"><br />

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Most antique major league and many other league tickes will have good financial value.<br /><br />I once had a small collection of 1896 Rockford IL Base Ball Tickets. The tickets were specifically designated to men or women. The male tickets were blue, while the female tickets were bright pink.<br /><br />I think antique baseball and other sport tickets, handbills, ribbons, pocket skeds and such ephemera are a fascinating area to collect. Many of the items the collector will pick up-- a rules book for a small MI league or Bloomer Girls handbill-- will be the only examples that exist.<br /><br />I once sold on eBay a tiny unillustrated 1890s foldover rules booklet for a small league in the UP Michigan to the Henry Ford Musuem. The museum was going to have a showing about early agricultural life in Michigan and the museum's curator was on eBay looking for stuff for the exhibit. The booklet was rare and likely unique.
