amazing find !!! original 1912 New York Highlanders Full season ticket book

[RedsFan1941]

if I find an uncut sheet of 170 T206s, which was originally produced with the intent of it being cut up, and i do just that because I only want the 8 cards on the sheet that picture Cincinnati players, that doesn’t strike you as a bad decision?

I understand that these are in fact tickets but I don't find a lot to get excited about since they aren't gate tickets. I would have left the book as is being that the individual slips aren't all that attractive. They must be pretty tiny when they're ripped off.

Just so you know I have a serious confirmed very high offer
for the tiny little "Game 1 ticket" however for me its one I want to keep

as they say "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"

Good luck with the sale. I only meant to say I thought they looked much more appealing as a group than what I imagine they look like separately.

Wasn't like this dude burned it or flushed it down the toilet. Not sure why he is Public Enemy # 1.

I get really pissed when some card company butchers a document and creates a ugly autograph monstrosity, but I guess you own and you do what you want with it. Sort of how the world works.

Agreed. I don't see this as something that really needed to stay together. I get frustrated with some of the cut up stuff, but these are tickets that should have been removed and, at least to me, don't have much more of an aesthetic appeal being all together.

Straying off subject a bit...I'm not a ticket collector, but I have to wonder how collectors assess 'value' if tickets were left in a booklet, unused. Say you had an unused Mazeroski HR World Series game ticket. Would that be as coveted as an actual used ticket from that historic game? It seems to me the answer would be a resounding "No!"

funny you say wasn't flushed down the toilet

the person I bought the booklet from found it in among some old books and old photos in a box he found at a garage sale , he said he got there quite late the people were packing up and were already putting stuff in boxes to the side of the curb for trash pick up there were several other boxes they still had for sale, he said he paid $25 for 2 boxes of stuff in one of the boxes was the booklet , he then googled 1912 American League Baseball of NY found out they were the New York Yankees , he then googled vintage NY Yankees tickets, a website I am a NY Yankees ticket consultant on comes up number 4 out of 1,840,000 results
he contacted me about the booklet we negotiated a deal , wasn't much negotiation when I gave him my price, I do not think the FLASH could have said yes any quicker ,so It may have been saved from the trash heap if he had not bought the boxes , the guy had no emotional attachment and very happy to flip it for a huge profit , and here we are .

Unbelievable.

How was it torn to pieces? The tickets were designed to be separated from each other.

[Vintagecatcher]

I find it interesting that the OP was clever enough to post this "amazing find" on the front page, where he would have more eyes then our standard B/S/Trade section as a means to facilitate the sale of this ticket book.

He found a way to advertise an item for sale without buying a banner like our other fine advertisers!

Autograph collectors need to treat autograph cuts as card collectors treat trimmed cards.

I feel that the OP has every right to do what he wants to the tickets since he owns it.

I personally like the idea of purchasing separate tickets which have some significance. Owning the whole booklet doesn't really bring out the individual feats of each game.

There are people out there who rather have the entire ticket book intact while others rather own a piece of it. You will never please everyone.

Quiet! Don't give anyone any ideas!!!!!

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

Just curious, at what point did you decide to tear the tickets individually, before or after posting this thread?

when I originally posted this find , it was more to tell people what I had got .
At no point was I asking any opinions as to what I should do with it., in regards keeping intact as is (remember it was missing front and back cover) , sell it ,or even donate it to the Hall of Fame.
to answer your question, some games tickets I really wanted to keep
especially Game 1, game 4 and Game 77 there were a few others ,
after waiting several weeks of weighing my options , and after receiving lots of messages asking if I wanted to sell book whole or possibly singles . I decided to break it up , If money was my motivation I could have flipped it early for a very significant profit , but then lose the once in a life time opportunity to own some important tickets , that will NEVER come up again ,
this way I get to keep some desirable tickets and sell or trade off the rest.
I collect , buy , sell and trade , for me its a win win , whats done is done
I have no regrets
