Scott,
The photo of the 1909 ticket book didn't make it, FYI.

Scott, it's showing up for me - even shows up in your quote.

I collect tickets from games in which Sandy Koufax pitched, and it has been a fun adventure. I have met some really great people (via the Internet and phone mostly) through this effort who have really helped me on my way. The posts about the game to benefit Campy prompted me to scan in the ticket stub and the accompanying hand-written scorecard pages from someone who attended the game. I will be happy to post them as soon as I figure out how to shrink the size of the pdfs to be able to be posted. I bought this via eBay years ago so I don't know the story of who kept score so neatly. Interestingly, for me at least, Sandy pitched in that game.

Oh, sure, lots of ticket groupies here. One thing I've grown fond of collecting are tickets for the old Los Angeles Railway [streetcar] with sports themes:

Joe Louis:



PCL baseball:



Golf:



I also occasionally like to pick up a ticket from a fight or game.

World championship fight from Uruguay:



Indianapolis Clowns barnstorming ticket:



Jeffries' Barn amateur fight ticket:



1959 British heavyweight title ticket signed by Sir Henry Cooper:



Wrigley Field [L.A.] title fight ticket:



Academy Awards tickets:

Since it's no longer just baseball, I'll share my Indiana High School Basketball ticket stubs from the State Finals. Included is the Holy Grail from 1954 when Milan won it all (the movie Hoosiers for those who don't know).
