Hello & welcome to net54,
It's not possible to nail down anything based on the 44 on the front of the ticket. IMHO, 44 would refer to the 44th home game, but I may be wrong.
One question about the date written on the back of the ticket:
Is the writing in fountain pen, or is it in ball point pen?
I can't tell by your photo.
Please note that ball point pen was not a thing until around 1940. If the writing is in ballpoint pen, it's inconsistent with 1934.

BTW, my good friend Dan Busby (RIP) published a couple of limited production books on ticket collecting entitled "Washington Senators 1868-1939" and Washington Senators 1940-2012", respectively.

Unfortunately, there is not an example of a photo of a Grandstand ticket from the 1934 era to compare it to in the book. The ticket price is consistent with what a Grandstand ticket cost in the early 1940's (1941) based on an exemplar that he shows in the 2nd book.

I hope you find this helpful. ;)

Thank you very much for replying, I do not own it, so I'm not sure of the pen type either. Maybe 44 is 1944? Either way, this was very helpful and exactly the kind of reply I was hoping for by posting in this forum.

Good day today.....Vladimir Guerrero MLB DEBUT

Just got this one back from Michaels, my run of Jarry Parks Home Openers 1969-1976 , The Photo is from the 1970 Home opener with Bob Gibson on the mound and Rusty Staub at bat (he struck out) its a little hard to see but in right centerfield you can see fans watching the game on top of snow banks and on top of the swimming pool's cabin

Nice final product, Guy! :cool:

That is freakin' beautiful!

Guy, nice display..continue on your passion

Continuing the Expos theme (sort of), this one is from the first game I saw at Wrigley Field.

The Expos won 10-5

Randy Hunt hit his 1st career HR, while Greg Maddux raised his career batting average to .444 while failing to get his 2nd career win.

More Expos-related tickets...

Florida at Montreal, September 27, 2004. This was the second-to-last Montreal Expos game to be played in Olympic Stadium. The Expos lost to the Marlins 4-1. Josh Beckett got the win, John Patterson got the loss, and Armando Benitez got the save.

Montreal at New York (NL), October 2, 2004. This was the next-to-last game in the history of the Expos, and the last one the Expos would win as they defeated the Mets by a score of 8-1. Chad Cordero got the win, Braden Looper got the loss, and Gary Majewski got the save.

Washington at New York (NL), April 22, 2005 - the first game played in New York by the former Expos under their new incarnation as the Washington Nationals. It was the 17th game of the year for the Nationals, and they lost to the Mets, 3-1. Tom Glavine got the win, Esteban Loaiza got the loss, and Braden Looper got the save.

Here's a stub from the June 4, 2000 Mets v. Rays game at Shea Stadium.

This ticket was purchased from, and printed at, an "ETM" kiosk at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, Long Island, NY. Over the years, the ink has faded - unfortunately, as faint as the printing is in this enhanced scan (made July 18, 2012), it's significantly more legible here than it is on the actual ticket.

September 29th 2004 a sad day indeed, Expos last home game, 2nd picture is me and my son at the game and last photo is the sign we made and brought to the game, we still have our sign

Fantastic!

Not mine but thought I’d share anyway. I did some work at the Clemente Museum this last weekend. This is a new item on loan. The owner traveled to Pittsburgh as a child and attended the 9/1/71 all minority lineup game. He stood outside the stadium that day and collected almost every player’s autograph in his autograph book. The poor quality snap shot is of him getting Roberto’s autograph outside of Three Rivers.

Every aspect of that is just so great. Thanks for sharing.

Thats a great piece. Ill have to check it out and see what new things they have in the museum. That ticket is on my must-find list but I have only ever seen a few of them. Attendance was just above 11K. I would think there would be a few more around the Pittsburgh area but its a tough find. A few months ago I was able to purchase original slides of a family that attended game 7 of the 1960 World Series. Really added some like to the tickets that came with them. Only had a few Clemente photos in it and that was from a distance.

I’d love to see those slides!

I don't know if this will help, but here is a picture of an Upper Grand Stand ticket from 1940.

Sent my first tickets off to PSA to be graded. Perhaps I should have checked here first, as they didn't want to grade a number of these. I can only assume that they require knowing the exact date/game??
Here are a few I had hopes for:

https://i.imgur.com/wok1muR.jpg

True, but those are pretty damn cool! :cool:

I recently picked this up on eBay. Nothing of any importance occurred in this regular season game. However, I was surprised by the shiny gold color and the price of admission. Box seats were $4.15 that year. This ticket is almost twice that amount. Has anyone here ever come across a Pirates ticket like this? Do you have any information or ideas why such a ticket exists? Thanks!

Was fortunate to find this photo from Hank Aaron's 704th HR hit on August 18th 1973 at Jarry Park in Montreal off a very young Steve Rogers , this Home run was the 1,378th extra-base hit of his career passing Stan Musial's mark of 1377 to become the all-time leader in extra-base hits, he ended his career with 1477 extra-base hits, still the all-time record

El Presidente El Perfecto signed Full Ticket, Photo Signed by Dennis Martinez, his battery mate Ron Hassey, 1st baseman Larry Walker. his shortstop Spike Owen, and 3rd baseman Tim Wallach!!!,

Love it, Guy! That turned out great! :cool:

BTW, Tim Wallach is from my college alma mater, Cal State Fullerton.
Go Titans!

As you're aware, the Expos manager in 1991 was former major leaguer, Tom Runnels.
Ironically, I used to see Runnels at my gym fairly frequently.
I've spoken to him about Mark Gardner's no-hit loss on 7/26/91 two days earlier against the Dodgers as well as El Presidente's perfecto on 7/28/91.

Thanks Scott,

Tim Wallach was our best 3rd baseman ever, But Larry Parrish was my favorite, really hurt The Expos when he was traded to the Texas Rangers ,he was the guy who kept that locker room together a great leader

I love your collection Guy

Guy, that came out great. That's really going to pop right off the wall it's so beautiful!

Thanks for the kind words , here's another one of my favorites
Expos 1st and last win ticket of their history, with inscribed photo's of both winning pitchers

Chad Cordero was born in the U.S. and went to U.S. schools yet he uses the European way of dating - day/month/year. I usually see that with Olympians from Europe.

French Canadians in Quebec use the same way of dating day/month/year

I live the majority of the year outside of the US for the past 25+ years. I have to be careful writing my dates when I am in the US to avoid confusion. The format DD/MM/YY is done in most places of the world with the idea from smallest to largest.

That and all reservation calendars for hotels and airlines overseas use Monday as the first day of the week. Since we consider Monday to be the beginning of the week it makes sense. You have to pay attention to the days and dates when making reservations.

For my Red Schoendienst player pc. Rochester Red Wings 1944 ticket. Unfortunately Red didn't play this day, (he didn't much in 1944 in general)

But still part of the roster so thats a win for me!

How about some Pirate tickets from 1938.

This was my ticket to what was one of the most impressive performances I ever saw by a hitter. I can still hear a sold out Kingdome crowd chanting in unison “Ed-Gaar-Ed-Gaar” Edgar was magic that entire series. He certainly delivered by belting 2 home runs and driving in 7 runs in Game 4 of the 1995 American League Division Series, becoming the first player in postseason history to record 7 RBI in a single game. Like Dave Niehaus said, “Get out the Rye Bread and mustard Grandma it’s Grand Salami Time.”

Some tickets are iconic, while some tickets tend to be ironic.

This one is the latter of the two. I am still searching for Frank Howards first HR ticket with the Rangers but this will will also do for now too.

First season as the Rangers and Game #2 of their home stand with the Twins. Two old Senators teams going against each other. How many other MLB teams can say they have birthed, in some way, two teams from the original?

Pete Broberg was the WP for the Rangers 5-1 over the Twins.

Cheers,

The only game where two players hit a HR in the same game where each had already hit 60 that year.

Completed my set
 

Finished my Indians All Star game tickets.

So how concerned are you about buying tickets off eBay for fear of counterfeiting? I’ve never bought tickets but am intrigued for sure. Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Carlos,
Believe it or not, my 23-year old son Sam and I witnessed one of these games on October 1, 2000 in Detroit.
Tiger's utility player, Shane Halter (who played in college at University of Texas with Reid Ryan, Nolan's son), played all 9 positions.
This was the 1st ML game that Sam ever attended, and he was a baby.
Not surprisingly, I saved our tickets. ;):D

Ironically, Sam & I actually saw a Kevin Hooper, a fan-favorite utility player on the Toledo Mud Hens, also accomplish this feat about 10 years ago.
Attending two games where a player played all 9 positions is Cray Cray. :eek:

Pre 1936 Detroit Tigers ticket stub. No idea on the year.


.

I just got these signed this past weekend. Sept 30, 1980 a rookie Rickey Henderson breaks Ty Cobb’s AL single season stolen base record. April 10, 1980 HOFer Harold Baines makes his MLB debut.

signed ticket to September 3rd 1975, The best arm I've ever seen in Baseball Ellis Valentine has his MLB DEBUT, he wasted no time showing off his arm with 2 outfield assists , in the 5th inning on a flyball to RF by Larry Bowa he threw out Dave Cash coming back to 1st base to complete the double play , then in the 8th inning he threw out Larry Bowa at home plate and if that is not enough he prevented Garry Maddox, the husband of his high-school counselor, from hitting an inside-the-park home run. With one out and two on in the Phillies’ third, Maddox hit a liner that got by Expos center fielder Pepe Mangual for a triple. A reporter asked Maddox if he thought of circling the bases.“Yeah, I did,” he said. “But (Valentine) did a good job of running it down and he can throw. Funny thing is my wife used to counsel him when he was in high school

not baseball, but what the heck
 

1910 high school football game is the oldest in my collection. cool depiction of Andover's seal designed by Paul Revere.

Ticket from Hank Aaron's historic 715th home run
 

Ticket from Hank Aaron's historic 715th home run to pass Babe Ruth on April 8, 1974. One of baseball's most iconic moments.

Just got back from a Dennis Martinez private signing
, Denis Martinez signed full Perfect Game Ticket inscribed " El Presidente El Perfecto" and full signed ticket from his last game as a Expo which is also his 100th victory with the Expos and with this win he becomes only the 6th pitcher to win 100 games in both leagues , Inscribed "100 wins in both leagues"

Maddux vs Clemens, 300 game winners facing off. Cubs won 3-2.

Of course I need to get it authenticated/graded by PSA. Which auction house should I consign to if I decide to sell this ? Thx.

Attachment 576248

Lelands, REA, Goldin, Heritage, and Hunt all do well with tickets. You might want to research what one of these did at one of those auction houses to give you a better idea.

Sadaharu Oh only 4 Homerun game
 

May 3, 1964 Sadaharu Oh becomes the first and ONLY player to hit 4 HRs in a game in Japan. This is the only graded example. It is in Goldins Elite Auction ending in a week...

https://goldin.co/item/may-3-1964-sa...ri-giantscbzvz

Please let us know what you ended up going with. Also curious to know what level you had to pay, wherever you ended up going with. I have a ticket from the same game, though in a bit lesser condition.

It's amazing to me how well tickets from Jackie Robinson's rookie year are selling lately. Non-milestone games....WOW!

Hi Randall,
Great ticket!! Congrats :cool:

Really nice!

This was my only ticket pickup at this years National. This 1971 All Star Game ticket has long been on my want list. The fact that Reggie took my man Dock Ellis deep connects it to my 1971 Bucs obsession. This was also Clemente’s last All Star Game appearance. When I asked Reggie to sign the ticket I asked him to inscribe it “Off the Roof!” As that was Curt Gowdy’s famous call. Reggie smiled and said, “Gowdy was wrong on that call. That ball was over the roof! Do you mind if I correct him and sign it that way?” Who the hell am I to disagree with Mr. October?

Great story. Gowdy called it as "off the transformer" light tower. Video isnt good enough to verify. I was 11 eating a bag of cheese popcorn and drinking a coke after I got the bottle cap with Tony Oliva off it, about 2 feet from a black and white TV.

Thanks Batman! Why does that sound so campy LOL! Here’s a recent addition to my Stargell memorable moments ticket collection. May 8, 1973, Pops literally goes yard at Dodger Stadium. It was his second homer of his career to land in the parking lot. He is the only man to do it twice.

After witnessing Stargell’s Los Angeles blast Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton said, “I never saw anything like it. He doesn't just hit pitchers, he takes away their dignity.”

Newly graded at the National

https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...ictureid=36433

John, fantastic example!

Here's mine...

LOL...I was 11 also. Gowdy actually said "off the roof" first and quickly said it's off the transformer shortly after. Not everyone knows that Reggie actually hit it over the roof and out of the stadium later when he was with the Angels. The man had some power. Darn, now I need to get my ticket stub signed.

Online auction find. ‘89 ASG

Bo hit a monster HR to center.

Dan Smith, Not a household name, but he did give up Tony Gwynn's 3000th hit

1908 York Beach Maine Ticket/Pass.

York beach only existed for one 25 game partial season in the 1908 class D Maine State League. The back has some identification that I can't make out.
Can't imagine too many of these are kicking around.

3/22/14 - First MLB regular season game in Australia. Kershaw shines in the season opener on his way to a third Cy Young. Never seen this ticket before and was thrilled to grab it.

Very cool, Dewey! Nice pickup. :cool:

from my favorite seasons
 

Recently, when going through some old boxes back home, I came across these stubs. Brings back some great memories.

Mark, if July 10th is available I’m a buyer.

Mickey Mantle HR #3 first right handed HR
 

One of the earliest Mantle HRs you will find.

An antique store rescue from today, a ticket from the 1983 ALCS, game 2.

Mike Boddicker strikes out 14 Chicago White Sox enroute to a 4-0 shutout.

Aaron Judge 3 HR game yesterday
 

6' 7" 282 lb Aaron Judge just had his first career 3 HR game, which gives him a total of 247 career homers.

5'9" 180 lb Mookie Betts has now been tied by Judge for career homers.

Judge has some work to do to catch Betts in the 3 HR game count, as Betts along with Johnny Mize and Sammy Sosa each have 6 games with a trio of homers.

Here are tickets for four of Mookie's 3 HR games

1990 NLCS tix
 

Another online auction find. Not sure why tickets are coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden.

Reds would win this one 6-3 on homers by Billy Hatcher and Mariano Duncan off of Zane Smith.

Just one more stop along the way to the Reds 1990 World Series Championship.

Got these signed last week at a charity softball game, Dave Palmer's 5 inning perfect game and Otis Nixon 6 stolen bases game

I just started a collection of Sadaharu Oh home run tickets (#795 is below), and I also stumbled across this perfect game ticket from 1961.

DiMaggio Day 1949 Full ticket
 

Not many out there for this day/game.

October 5 1933 Earl Whitehill wins game 3 of the World Series. Here is a ticket to the game with a ticket to game 4 still attached.

Found a couple more 1989 All-Star game tickets to add to the one I found a few weeks ago.

Picked this one up last week. There is one more on eBay for anyone else that may be interested in having a stub to Mazeroski’s last game. There were only 4603 in attendance so I doubt there are many others out there.

Had the pleasure meeting Lee Smith and getting my ticket to his last career Save #478 signed
