I want to say that the Indiana HS BB final collection is the definition of focus on collecting. The 1954 Milan stub made my family pull out the VHS tape and enjoy again. Tickets I've shown are rather eclectic but I like them.

We need to compare notes one of theses days. It's exciting with the new ballpark plans...

These are some of the favorite tickets in my collection which focuses on the Philadelphia Eagles and Frankford Yellowjackets.
1)1927 Frankford Yellowjackets and NY Giants

2) 1929 Frankford vs Dayton Triangles

3) 1933 Phila. Eagles vs Cincinatti Reds

4) 1933 Phila Eagles vs Green Bay Packers

5) 1939 Phila Eagles vs Brooklyn Dodgers - This is the first NFL game ever televised.

6) 1943 Steagles vs Washington Redskins

7) 1943 Steagles vs Brooklyn Dodgers - A different style (probably lower priced, general admission type) ticket

Hi all,

I have a dozen or two A's tickets from the 40s, similar to below. They are readily available, it seems. However, does anyone have a scan of regular season A's tickets pre-1940ish? Just wondering what they look like and if there is a date on them and if it says Shibe Park on it, etc.

BTW, Ed that is a neat 1942 Relief ticket @ Shibe! Love the elephant and bomber images on the ticket.

Thanks!
Rob

Thanks, Rob.

Here's some of the Philadelphia Athletics tickets I have. Except for World Series tickets and maybe some special event tickets, I don't think I've seen a dated example before the early 1940's.

The column on the left are tickets from 1908-1913. Early Athletics tickets have "C. McGillicuddy, Manager" printed on them. The dates and scores were written by the original patron and preserved in a scrapbook. 1908 was the last year the Athletics played in Columbia Park so "Shibe Park" doesn't appear on tickets until 1909. The 1910, 1911, and 1913 tickets (World Series champion years) have about the same design. The backs are blank.

The $1 grandstand ticket (front and back) is a little later perhaps from the '20s. It still reads "C. McGillicuddy, Manager". It also says, "Greater Shibe Park" which I'm guessing they used after expanding the seating capacity in the mid-20's.

The $1.10 grandstand ticket (front and back) is from the '30's with "Thomas Shibe, President" printed on it. Thomas Shibe died in 1936.

The $1.30 grandstand ticket (front and back) is probably from the late 1940's with "Connie Mack, President" printed

$2.50 upper box seat ticket - 1950 was Connie Mack's last year as manager

Finally, $1.30 grandstand ticket with "Connie Mack Stadium" printed on it is from 1953-54 after Shibe Park was renamed. I've been looking for a dated 1954 ticket (the team's last year in Philadelphia) but haven't found one yet.

Very cool info and neat tickets! I like the $1 and $1.10 examples with the advertisements on the back, will have to keep an eye out for one.

Thanks for the details, very insightful
