IMHO, it's a sham that an American League pass would be viewed as a ticket to some specific event unless there was a newspaper story supporting that the specific pass patron attended the specific event.

Just another BS PSA scam. It dilutes the importance of an actual true ticket to a historic event in baseball history.

Scott, I agree with you 100 percent. The good thing about those passes though is that they are nice for a display for events that don't have many tickets. I'm thinking "the shot heard round the world", or Gehrig's farewell speech, etc. More representative that it "could" have been used...much like an unused real game ticket.

I've got one left. I'll see PSA tomorrow at the East Coast National White Plains show and tell them what to put on the ticket. It sure seems like it minimizes the value of the actual ticket to the game if these things are selling for so high.

Again, there has been feedback in this thread expressing surprise at the thought of these selling for four figures on a regular basis. And even if they are, I don't think the prices of tickets issued for milestone games are diminished.

As an Indians collector, the choice between buying a ticket stub to Bob Feller's opening-day no-hitter vs. a 1940 season pass is a no-brainer. And if I heard that a season pass had sold for, say, $1,500, that certainly wouldn't influence me to pay less for the actual ticket stub. Heck, if anything, it likely would drive up the price. But that's a big "if."

I think the prices of season passes and ticket stubs to milestone games are independent of each other. Other ticket collectors might feel differently.

Good point Rob. I just found my other ticket. It is a 1947 National Association Professional Baseball Leagues All Grounds pass, issued to Maurice DeLoof and signed by George Trautman, their President. This was the minor leagues. What would this one be worth? Worth grading? Any thoughts? Thanks to all for this thread.

That is a very interesting thread...

I love those vintage tickets and pass from pro sports. Two years ago, i got a collection and in it was a Montreal Canadiens season pass and a full ticket from the same year



I sold the pass for 350.00 and the complete for 500.00.....i think the full thickets from the 1960 and older have beame really scarce and in time more valuable.....

Complete tickets and complete sets can go for crazy money believe me i just sold this...for a very high price....



What would be the odds of finding two complete tickets from a 1950's game ?

What would be the odds of finding a complete 1950's or 60's complete season tickets ?

What would be the odds of those ticket to be still attached in groups ?










I guess, alot of things have an impact...theme, history or event, quantity, grading and condition, market and franchise history.....

one of only 3 or 4 graded by PSA and it being the top one graded, but yes they put on what I asked:

for sale on Ebay at a higher price or here for a decent price ; )

Mike,
I do agree with what you are saying here.

Frankly though, I'm not surprised in the least that PSA would be more than happy to do anything that would make them money throwing a slab around anything.
