Ticket guys. 1913 stub. Good?
Pardon the poor picture...
Judging from the size behind glass and in a toploader, 1x2" approx. Couldn't locate another example, nor am I versed in these. Legit? tia, Steve http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...1913soxtix.jpg |
That was mine at one time. I think those are out of a season ticket book, or such as complimentary. I hope its good, or it will indirectly make me look bad..haha.

Complimentary season tickets :D... What would that cost today?
|
Steve,
I have a few similar examples from Cleveland from the same era. These types are on very thin stock and usually come from a season-ticket booklet of "coupons," each stamped with the game number. Though yours is a "complimentary" version, I suspect it's close to the same thing. I consider mine "tickets" but realize that probably in the truest sense it's pushing the envelope a bit, because they don't look like the "normal" tickets of the era. But they're certainly legit in that they provided access to the stadium. Hope this helps. |
Then it's a tickette!
Thanks for the ops guys. Unsure if I want it or be happy with it now. Though BoSox items are tough to find -affordably. |
I won some Federal League tickets about the same size in a Mastro Auction years back, so to the shrimply size isn't a problem.

Is this a real 1913 Red Sox ticket?
Absolutely a real 1913 Boston Red Sox ticket, as stated earlier, out of a complimentary season ticket booklet. Yes, it is made out of paper instead of cardboard, but this is typical of season tickets from this era throught the 1970's for many baseball teams. One point of note is that these complimentary tickets actually offer more absolute information than their cardboard couterparts which typically do not have a date for many teams during this era. As they say, it is what it is.....

Nice Pick-up!
It is from the same book as pictured below, which was owned by Mrs. Neal Ball. I purchased mine a few years ago off of ebay and the seller gave me copies of the booklet front and inside cover. Neal Ball is famous for pulling off the 1st unassisted triple play of the 20th Century. |
That explains the "complimentary"
Great news. I better hang onto it -for a while. Thanks for the replies, Steve Always tastes better with a "W". Also, Carrigan's first day as Skip. Copy of the sports page, presumably from the Globe, with a rundown of this game reads, BOSTON, July 25 -A victory for Boston over Chicago, 7 to 5; signalized the first appearance of Manager Carrigan here as the leader of the World's Champions. The game was a slugging match, each team having to resort to relief pitchers and pinch hitters. Boston drove Cicotte from the bar in the fifth inning with a volley of singles, and Russell, the next Chicago pitcher, made a wild pitch in this same inning, giving the locals a lead which the visitors could not overcome. Two singles and a stolen base in the eighth inning off Benz, secured Boston another run. Catcher Schalk was put off the field, for disputing a decision of Umpire O'Loughlin, who made his first appearance here this season. Can almost hear the Rooters obnoxious jeers:) (Oh, Prince Hal went 2 for 3) |

The unassisted triple-play;
"... [Neal] Ball took a ball on the fly, twenty feet rear and right off second base, thus putting out the batter. He hastily touched second base, thus putting out the runner trying to come back from third. He then dived into Jake Stahl, as he came running from first." |
My 7/7/13 ticket from the ticket book of Mrs. Neal Ball at Fenway
