Here's a new pickup. Rickey Henderson break's Lou Brock's all-time record with his 939th stolen base on 5/1/91 against the Yankees. Rickey was always a favorite of mine so happy to add this to the collection.

Many thanks to net54's David Shakir for helping me finally find a printed date version of HOF Bob Lemon's no-hitter ticket on June 30, 1948.
Cool! |
Nice pickup Scott and props to David for the assist!

Phillies modern no-hitters
3 Attachment(s)
Finished my Phillies no-hitter collection a little while ago. Little chance I'll find any tickets to the team's other no-hitters (Ferguson 1885, Donahue 1898, Fraser 1903, Lush 1906) so I guess I'm done.

Just got these on eBay...using the coupon.

Does anybody know if any significant "fake" tickets are floating around? Any links to threads or internet articles on the topic?

I have no clue about tickets, but that looks pretty good. If I were to ever get into tickets, I'd definitely try to educate myself.

In all seriousness, ticket collecting has been free of most of the fraud that's plagued other parts of the hobby for the most part. That being said, it's always a good idea to question anything that seems to be too good to be true. If in doubt you can always ask others on this board for advice. There is a lot of collective knowledge on net54. It blows my mind sometimes... |
Here is one of my tickets...1921 Cleveland Tigers with Jim Thorpe as player coach.

These are tickets to the 1912 Olympics...they include one to attend the inauguration of the stadium, 12th was when Thorpe long jumped, 13th and 14th were for first 2 days out of 3 days of the Decathlon that Thorpe won. I do have an opening day ticket also but can’t locate it right now.

Oorang Indians vs Milwaukee Badgers Football ticket that belonged to John Baptiste Thunder. Each player was given a few postcards to send out for advertising their games with some of the postcards stamped as a ticket also.

I recently came across a couple of cool Mets ticket stubs that were buried somewhere in the vast accumulation of stuff that I call a "collection."
First is a stub from Opening Day 1983. This was Tom Seaver's return to the Mets after a few years with the Reds, or Redlegs as they were known for a few years in the 1950s. https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7899/3...efe2db1877.jpg The other one is May 6, 1983 v. Cincinnati. This was Darryl Strawberry's Major League debut. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4870/3...66545665a1.jpg |

Scott, great pair! Frame them together!
Here's my Highlanders/Sox pair (can't remember if I posted this a while back or not)... |
Quote:
Really highlights the tickets and no doubt elevates the piece into art on the wall. |
Nice framing job on yours, Mike! Certainly gives me food for thought on what to do with mine!

Recently picked up this 1939 World Series ticket...After further reading on the game, I realized this was the last game Lou Gehrig spent in a Yankee uniform. He dressed, but didn't play this game due to his condition.
Planning to frame it soon with a photo from the game... |
Thanks guys!
I do see sports memorabilia as “art” and sculpture, so I try to celebrate it as such when I can. |
Expos 1st ever game...

Very happy to add these two to the collection. Game 4 of the 1932 World Series (Babe’s last one) and Game 4 of the 1947 series. Love that the original owner added “No Hitter” to the Ticket even though the No Hitter was broken up with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th!

Koufax 1st career win complete ticket
2 Attachment(s)
Happy to add this unique complete ticket to my Koufax collection. Certain Brooklyn Dodger games from 1954-56 were designated as Elsie games, where youngsters 16 and under could send in 5 Elsie brand ice cream lids, bags or wrappers, plus 25 cents, and receive a grandstand admission ticket to Ebbets Field.
While the 2 parts of the ticket have separated, having both the admission and rain check sides is very unusual. And of course, the topper is that this was a ticket for Sandy Koufax's first win, a complete game shut-out in which he struck out 14. Attachment 349355 Attachment 349356 Rick |
