Here is a pic - when I dug this out and looked, the more I look at it the more I think these autos might be ok - thoughts?

Thanks for posting the pictures of the programs and tickets.

The writing on the front of the scorebook on the right is actually a list of many of the ex-Giants dignitaries that were in attendance that night, not autographs. I suspect that the patron wrote these on the front of the scorebook as they were announced.

FYI, here is a list of the dignitaries that were known to be present at the last game at NY Giants:

Jack Doyle (Ex Giants Mgr.)
Red Murphy
George "Hooks" Wiltse
George Burns
Moose McCormick
Hans Lobert
Larry Doyle
Rosy Ryan
Rube Marquard
Carl Hubbell
Hal Schumacher
Billy Jurges
Monte Irvin
George Davis
Willard Marshall
Sid Gordon
Buddy Kerr
Babe Young
Johnny Rucker
Henry Thompson
81 year old George Levy broght the megaphone that he used for announcing for many years
John McGraw's widow received a bouquet of American Beauty roses from Bill Rigney

The scorebooks and tickets look to be in nice shape. The value of one of these tickets to the last game at NY Giants is about $500 in the condition exhibited.
One of these sold in REA's auction recently for $533. As far as the value of the scorebook, I'm going to defer to Doug Goodman on net54. Doug would be an excellent resource to determine value as this is right in his wheelhouse.

I hope this helps!

thanks for the info!

Glad to hear they had that much value - it was at an antique auction and this was the only sports item - i had a feeling it was a pretty good lot and hoped I was correct!

Again, I very much appreciate it and hopefully Doug will help on the score cards!

You're welcome. Send Doug a PM to ask about your post.

Hi guys -

I paid $375 for my copy of this program, which is scored, just the way I like them.

I feel like I overpaid, but it's scored pretty well, so it was hard to pass on.

The ticket stubs are possibly worth more than the scorecards, if you can find the right person who's looking for one.

I think that the market tends to bounce back and forth between preferring scored or unscored for significant games like this one. I would think that your scorecards/tix would each be worth somewhere between $150 and $500, depending on which way the wind is blowing.

Doug


PS - I love that one with all the names listed on the cover.

Thanks Doug -

So you are guessing 150-500 each? not as a lot right? Just thought I would double check
