It's just my opinion, but having collected Cleveland Naps and Indians tickets for 40-plus years, I've always found the ticket-booklet coupons far less desirable than other ticket stubs from the era. I don't think I'm in the minority on this, so my advice would be to pay accordingly. Also, those coupons from Cleveland's 1915 season show up far more often than ones from any other season in that era.

This isn't mine, but my guess is this is what you're referring to:

Does it look anything like this?

[knoxcat1983]

what would be a fair price?

According to baseballreference.com, Cleveland's scheduled 62nd home game of the 1915 season was against Washington on Aug. 19. Here's the box score from that game:

Because I'm not a fan of the ticket coupons and am too biased, I'll pass on giving an estimated value.

Knoxcat,
Thanks for supplying the photo of the ticket.
Rob D. is correct that the coupon style tickets are less desirable than their cardboard counterparts, but it is what it is.

Shoeless Joe did manage to get 3 hits in the game, but other than that I don't see anything particularly interesting that occurred in your 62nd game after looking at the boxscore.

I would place a value of $50- $75 for this ticket. I suspect that it would not bring a whole lot more, however many sellers certainly would try.

I hope this is somewhat helpful...

Not trying to argue, but how do you count that date as game 62? Are you counting Doubleheaders as individual games, because those should those be counted as 1 rather than 2? I thought back in the day if you went to a DH your ticket was good for both games. I still believe that ticket for game 62 falls in September.

Anyone have an entire booklet?

From the "More Information Than You Want or Need Department," here's something I forgot I had. This is how the season-ticket coupons originally were issued. As you can see, there are a few coupons left in this booklet.

I think Paul might be right about this, and if so, according to my (possibly wrong) count, I think that game was on Sept 9 versus the Tigers. Cobb was 3-3 in that one giving him 1899 for his career (??), and Jackson didn't play.



That having all been said, I think Joe's answer of "42" is way funnier... I just watched that movie (again) a couple days ago.
