Welcome aboard!
Hi Rob,
Welcome aboard! That's one terrific Giants collection that you've got there and very well displayed. I'm really looking forward to seeing your posts. BTW, do you collect Giants baseball tickets, and if yes, do you have many from the 1980's?

Welcome!
Rob,
Welcome to Net54 and thanks for sharing a little of your story and those awesome pictures of your advanced Giants collection! You have done a great job with your displays and I am impressed that you have not only the walls covered, but the floor too! Like your Dad, I'm from NJ too. But my Dad's allegiances fell on the other side of the river, so I ended up becoming a Yankees fan during the dry spell of the late 1960's. You mentioned that you would like to share and expand your knowledge of Giants memorabilia. I don't mean to hijack your introductory post, but you have inspired me to share something in the hopes that you or some other knowledgeable collector could help shed some light. I lived in Yonkers, NY for a few years; a stone's throw north of Yankee Stadium and the site of the old Polo Grounds. I met an old gentleman who was an avid fan of the NY Giants. He told me stories of going to many games with his Dad and brother, and how sad it made him when they moved. He had a few mementos, but the only tickets he ever saved were the ones pictured below and a ticket to the July 4, 1941 Lou Gehrig Memorial game at Yankee Stadium. He told me about attending the last game at the Polo Grounds and that these were the tickets that he, his brother and Dad used to gain admission to that game! I believed him because he had no reason to lie to me and of all the games he went to in his life, he only deemed these important enough to save. Eventually, I convinced him to sell me all four of his tickets (these 3 and the Gehrig memorial). The problem from a collector's point of view is that the tickets are not dated 1957. Which brings me, at last, to my point. Does anyone know of anything in the printing of these tickets that could confirm that they are or are not from 1957? Any help would be appreciated.
