Default Some help on the year?

I'd appreciate any info or, even good guesses, on the year that this was issued. I know that Dreyfuss died in 1932. Thanks.

Default Even tho I'm not a ticket collector---

---I do have a nice one. This is from Game 2 of the '51 WS w/ the Giants and is memorable for the fact it was this game that a NY Rookie named Mickey Mantle caught his spike in a outfield drain pipe cap & tore up his knee, which would be a problem throughout the rest of his career.

I was given this back in '51 from a person who went to that game.

Default 1903 Big Game

Great tix everyone. Thought I'd post a pic of one of my better ones. Cal/Stanford Big Game. I had another stub of the seat right next to this one but sold it years ago. Glad I saved this one.

Default These will get you tickets...

Here are examples of different lifetime passes that people have used to get tickets. They're all on the website CooperstownExpert.com. To see these and a few more click here.

The website is more about autographs but has other collectibles as well. Each HoFer has his own page along with 234 other players. Chances are there'll be something there on your favorite guy.

Thanks for looking.

Hey Mark

There might be somewhere to look up seat/grandstand prices for Forbes throughout the years, or even a mention of a specific price for a single season would help tell you if its before or after that date.
Maybe even just compare if you can find prices for any MLB venue from the era, including any datable tickets.

Mark,

REA had a similar ticket listed last year with same price and tax breakdown as circa 1926. I haven't done a ton of research on these but I hope it narrows it down.

Paul

That is extremely helpful. Thanks! I was wondering if the Set Number might indicate the year, but I'm starting to think that it doesn't. On the back, someone wrote the score. All I need to do now is to track down that game!

Mark, Here's a picture of a ticket I have. I've assumed it was from 1933-40 based on having William Benswanger's name and lack of a war tax from WW2. Unfortunately, dating doesn't seem to be as easy as figuring out the set numbers. Grandstand price here is $1.10 vs your $1.01. I've seen 1940's tickets with a $1.25 Grandstand price.

Paul, the 1926 ticket from the REA auction is so similar to mine that I think mine is probably from that year or sometime close to it. On the back of my ticket, someone wrote PGH 8 Chicago 5. There was no game with that score in 1926, but the Pirates did beat the Cubs 8-5 in the first game of a labor day double-header in 1925. Cuyler had 4 hits--and the Pirates beat long-time Bucco Wilbur Cooper. Cooper joined the Bucs in 1912 and led their staff for a dozen years until he was traded away for the 1925 season. I recall Fred Leib (I think) writing that the saddest sight he ever saw was a forlorn Wilbur Cooper on the mound when he was losing a game to Pirates in 1925 because the Bucs were clearly on the way to the Series, and Cooper knew that he would not be with them. I use Wilbur Cooper as my NET 54 avatar as a tribute to the sad Pirate. Maybe this ticket is from one of the games that broke old Wilbur's heart. In any case, I am very happy to believe that I have identified the ticket.
thanks to all of you.

Hi Mark,

Set fonts are definitely different, and not the same with the other ticket.
This would suggest yours is an earlier ticket, FWIW.

I also believe that if your ticket was used in a DH that there would be two scores written on the back of the stub...

First game I ever went to. I went with my Mom and Dad when I was 9. These tickets have special meaning as I lost both my folks in the last 6 months.

Default HOF Jim Palmer no-hitter full ticket

I also posted this in the July pickup thread, but I'm thrilled to be able to have upgraded the Jim Palmer no-hitter ticket in my advanced no-hit ticket collection.
Here is the only full ticket that I have ever seen in 45 years of collecting to Palmer's gem.

Many of you know that I am not a fan of PSA grading tickets, so I took the liberty of cracking the slab and displaying it in my preferred method.

Default 1965 Game 4 World Series Ticket-Question?

I have a ticket from game 4 of the 1965 World Series. I would like to display it with cards of the players from the game. Should I use 1965 Topps cards (the year of the world series) or 1966 Topps cards( player stats from 1965) ?

I'd go with the '65 cards.

I agree. The 1965 cards were the current ones at the time of the World Series.

The only problem with that reasoning - this problem applies to all years, but I'll stay with '65 since that's the year under discussion - is, what do you with a card of a player on the '65 team whose '65 card shows him on a different team?

Today (2019) we have update sets and traded sets and 60 million different sets, so even though Marcus Stroman's 2019 base Topps card shows him with Toronto, I'm sure someone assembling a similar display for the World Champion New York Mets will be able to find a '19 pasteboard showing him in the orange and blue, but for the vintage sets that's a dilemma the person putting the display together will have to decide for himself.

Hi Hank-
I am of the strong belief that the Comiskey WS tickets from the late teens were sold like this but I have never seen a full strip. Many of the Press Tickets from that era were quite similar in their format.

I picked this up a couple months ago, but had not posted it in on here. The Texas Welcome Dinner was where JFK was scheduled to speak on the night of November 22, 1963, had he not been assassinated earlier in the day.

This is the only ticket I have in my collection. It is just such an amazing piece of history, IMO. The condition is not the best, but I had wanted a Texas Welcome Dinner ticket for a while. The ones the that show up on eBay almost always have outrageous BINs.

The location was decided by a coin toss after game six. The first six games were two in D.C., three in N.Y., one in D.C. Not sure if the location of the first game was also decided by a coin toss. No travel days in that series, seven games in seven days. I wonder if anyone has tried to chart the systems by which the location of world series games has been decided through the years. Another question is whether both teams in '24 had game 7 tickets pre-printed or if they did them overnight the day of game six.

Another question is whether both teams in '24 had game 7 tickets pre-printed or if they did them overnight the day of game six.
Wow Hank. That is the first time I have heard that. Do you have a reference for that? Awesome info! I always thought that the 'stub' part was the Game 7 ticket. A lot of tickets back then were sold in 3s as well, so that may have been a reason for it too.

OK. I should have just trusted good 'ol Google!! Nice work Hank. I am super impressed you knew that, although it was actually before Game 5 that the coin toss happened in 1924.

Terrific article, just what I was wondering about! My information came from "Walter Johnson: Baseball's Big Train," by Henry W. Thomas, Chapter 14, p. 236: "The 1924 world series was the first since the Red Sox/Giants classic of 1912 to come down to a last deciding contest. Just as they had won the coin toss deciding where the series would begin, Washington won again on a crucial second flip to determine the site of the finale. Judge Landis used a silver dollar given him by Clark Griffith, who had borrowed it from a long-time Nationals rooter for whom the coin had been a "good-luck piece." Harris called the flip correctly, and Griffith pocketed the dollar, which he carried with him for the rest of his life." Footnote 11 from that chapter credits "Morris Siegel, Washington Post, August 30, 1951" for the story, which presumably came directly from Griffith, Harris, or both of them, still very much active in the game at the time of Siegel's column. The toss coming after the fourth game explains how they were able to get tickets printed in time for game 7, of which I have seen many examples. I have always thought those ticket strips for games 1,2, and 6, by the way, to be fairly unique in the ticket collecting sphere for their size, beauty, and significance, and similar to the series and especially the 7th game in their underappreciation within the baseball history and collecting worlds. I always love to make the (very strong) argument that the 7th game of the 1924 World Series was the single greatest game played in the history of baseball. Thank goodness the Nationals decided to punch the tickets as fans walked in rather than tear them as originally intended based on the perforations. Somebody must have been thinking about what great souvenirs they would--and do--make.

No clue. I've seen many 7th game stubs without the lines, can't say whether I've seen another with. Would be interesting to know.

Standing Room Only tickets all had the green lines corresponding to the number of the game. 1 line=game 1, 7 lines=game 7. Other tickets with seats do not have the lines, with the exception of a small number of the lesser seats (Temporary Bleacher). I bet it has something to do with the entrance and ticketing such that they would not be able to access the non-'lined' part of the stadium. The tickets also are different colours, based on their location in the stadium it seems.

Great info, is this specific to the 1924 series and Washington, or was this technique also used in New York that year or for other world series?

1925 Washington does not appear to, but the Yankees tickets from the 60s did have large printing for some of the lesser seats. Plus, there is good prescedent for different format tickets for different games.

For over 20 years, I've been looking for the ticket from May 6, 1984 where Cal Ripken Jr. became only the 2nd Oriole in their history to hit for the cycle (Brooks Robby was the first).

The game was played in Arlington on a Sunday afternoon in front of a sparse crown of 13,224 fans.

Finally, I found one on eBay (a full ticket no less) from a seller from France (of all places) with an awkward description (which brought fewer eyes to it):
