Conor,
Proof tickets are tickets with no seat or row numbers printed on them. Frequently they were used as ticket salesman samples. They would be shown to potential ticket customers as samples of tickets that the company was capable of producing.
It also should be noted that these tickets are frequently found in entire ticket strips with multiple tickets, not unlike the strip that has been shown in this thread.
Historically, they typically are less desirable than an actual ticket with seat/row numbers to the ticket collector. That being said, the World Series strip that Stephen has is interesting because of age and it contains a significant game of historic notoriety.
FWIW, if I were Stephen I wouldn't separate the tickets as I see them as possibly being more unusual if kept intact. My thinking would be that since they had survived over 80 years, why alter their appearance? If nothing else they look cool for display or possibly being framed. Just my 2 cents...
