1914 Kansas City Blues Ticket--HELP

I am looking for information on the KCAA ticket. The other two tickets in the scrap book are from orchestra and theatre shows from 1921, the federal league ticket is from 1914 and the other newspaper articles are from 1914 so I believe the years can be narrowed down. I am attaching a picture. Any help with year, value and scarcity would be appreciated. Trying to determine if I should have it professionally removed. Thanks

A larger scan of the tickets is essential to giving you any guidance on potential value. Could you please add a better scan or photo?
Thanks!

Having trouble getting a larger picture to upload. Seems like the size requirements are small. I can email to you.

Re - size to around 75k. That seems to be about the largest size for uploads on this site. If you rely on the site to re - size for you, it can end up too small.

President's name at the bottom is George Tebeau. He was president at least as early as 1910, and apparently owned the team "for years" after that, though I haven't been able to find a definitively-stated range.

Depending on whether or not you can remove the KC Blues ticket from the scrapbook without damaging the back, it's max value might be perhaps $30-$40. Here is my reasoning:

It isn't actually dated, so for some ticket collectors that makes it tough.
For argument sake though, let's assume that the KC Blues ticket may also be from 1914.
In looking over the KC Blues roster for 1914, there are several players that played in the major leagues, but no one that jumps off the page as a HOF caliber player.

FYI, the KC Federal League ticket is the more valuable ticket. I would estimate its value to be somewhere in the $75- $125 range assuming that there is no paper loss to the back of the ticket.

In any case, you have yourself a cool pickup. Congrats!

I hope this is helpful...
