Baseball ticket tops $19,000 in recent auction

[Scott Garner]

I posed the question last week to net54 members if anyone knew what was the hightest price ever realized in an auction for a baseball ticket.

It appears that we have a clear new winner. It was just announced that the only known full ticket to the 1933 All-Star game just sold for over $19,000 in the recent Memory Lane auction. That's a lot of jack!

The previous baseball ticket record holder sold for between $6,000 and $7,000- almost tripling the high.

Here is the link to the story for those of you that are interested:

Scott;

I am sure that 33 ticket will make a fine addition to your collection. Congrats on the pickup. LOL.

You know, if I owned the Jersey, or bat that Ruth used in the 33 All Star Game, I would be hard pressed not to want to add that ticket to my display. Would make a nice story when you are impressing your friends with your collection.

Jason,
I definately did not buy the 33 AS full ticket at $19K , but would have to agree that it would be a great compliment to the items you mentioned!

Hey Scott, I was looking at the final prices of the last Legendary auction (Aug. 24 & 25) They had a 1928 WS game 4 from STL where Ruth hit 3 HRs. It went for $2988 without the juice. Another stub was from Wilts 100 point game in Hershey, Pa. stub had tape residue and still brought $4182. But the high price was for Game 4 of the 1927 WS where the Yankees clinched a sweep. The stub supposedly belonged to Walter Johnson although they showed no proof of that. It sold for $5079.
