I'm calling BS on Heritage
 

No way this was valid for the All Star Game.

This came out of a season ticket booklet.

The All Star Game had its own separate tickets.

Weird,

2nd time it was listed. Look at the notation on the previous listing.

Also, just looks like a random ticket ripped from a Complimentary Ticket book. Not a "Season Pass". Maybe from a "Season Ticket Book", but certainly not a "Season Pass".

What about this ticket makes the original seller and Heritage think it had anything to do with the All-Star Game?

Personally I feel like the original seller should have been very happy with the price he got the 1st time around.

:confused:

It is very clearly an individual ticket for an individual game. It says as much on the ticket itself:

Must be detached by gatekeeper

Nobody kept your season pass if it was a season pass. You just flashed it and kept walking.

Yah considering the owner/consignor won it on Ebay for $157 in Sept., how/why does he place a bid to "win" it back in October at Heritage. Then re-auctions at Heritage now in January.

I know Heritage and its employees can place bids on items, but can consignors as well? That doesn't seem right.

Funny business at Heritage, not the first time, not the 10th time.

just in case this Oct listing mysteriously disappears.....
 

.....

Yeah. For what it's worth, at least they're transparent about it.

Still can't figure the All-Star Game part out. 1st in the Ebay listing, and then carried over into the Heritage listing.

Are they basically saying ANY Complimentary Season Ticket, could have possibly been used for the All-Star Game, just because the All-Star Game was at Comiskey that year?

Seems a stretch.

Also, that it is NOT graded is another sign that it's not for the All Star Game because NO WAY PSA is grading it as such.


So at the bare minimum we've learned Heritage either doesn't have a Ticket expert or their Ticket "expert" is no expert.

I don't know how MLB handled the first All Star game. But today. MLB owns the game, meaning they sell the tickets, handle distribution to other teams and keep the money for the gate. The game belongs to the Leauge not the team hosting. So unless Commy had a special deal, I agree that the coupon would most likely not get you into All Star Game.

A quick Google search finds a number of tickets from the first All-Star game (including one sold by Heritage) that look nothing like the one posted by the OP. That doesn't mean the item in question couldn't be used for admission to the All-Star game in 1933, but it does make it seem unlikely.

Absolutely couldn't have been used for the All-Star game - it's detached and unsigned :)

I haven't looked in a Heritage catalog in a while - are these stretches still rampant?

Why are sellers allowed to bid on their own items and what happens if the seller's late bid isn't quite good enough to buy it...but just drives up the price?
