Penn Relays Ticket Stubs info needed

[sb1]

Does anyone here have an idea of value for older Penn Relays ticket stubs(1940's/60's) or where one might go to find info on them. An ebay and google search turned up near zero. For the oldest track and field meet in the U.S. one would think these would be everywhere.

I picked up several in an old guide.

Thanks for any help.

I collect a lot of early Ivy League ephemera, including track programs and material, and tickets. I wouldn't expect great value for those tickets from that era - about $5 a piece. Can you post a pic?

Joe,

I agree they would not have much more value in general of about $5-10. However these were obviously someone special. All of them are NE sec. Row 1 Seat 1, over a 20 year span. Obviously a VIP/longtime supporter?.


They came with a large group of various track and field material from the 1930's to early 1960's. I was hoping there might be more detailed history of the relay's on line somewhere. But I suspect I may never solve the mystery.

Believe it or not I ran the 4x4 at Penn Relays when I was in high school. Was one of the most memorable events of my life and 50,000 people were there that day as Michael Johnson and the Nike team ran a qualifyer that day too! Still have my bib, program, tickets and all!
