This thread is amazing, to say the least!
I've been a Mets fan since 1968 and am an active '69 Mets collector.
Here are some of my favorite tickets/stubs:


Game 5 stub from the 1969 World Series.
I was at this game as a 9 year old Mets fan and even ran the bases after the last out.


Game three of their sweep of the Braves in '69 that took them to the series.


Full ticket and stub from the game where the Mets clinched the pennant in 1969. This was, at one time, the highest attended game in their history so I really don't think there are too many of the full tickets out there. The condition of the full ticket was not a consideration due to the rarity and significance in Mets history.

Welcome to net54! Nice first post.

I'm not a ticket collector but is the Connie Mack anniversary ticket from 1944 with his photos on the ticket worth anything

I recently picked up this Connie Mack ticket from August 4 1944 for $40. It has some stains and creases. There's a somewhat similar pre-season Connie Mack Day ticket from April 5 1944 that also seems to sell in the $40-60 range. I'd like to pick up an April 5th ticket if anyone has one available.

This is one of my all-time favourites from my collection.

Here are two neat tickets to add to one of my favorite threads:

Circa 1901-1903 NY Giants baseball ticket.
Who knows, maybe Matty pitched? He did pitch in game 7 in 1901 and 1903, so there's perhaps a 66% chance that he did.

Scarce September 28, 1944 ticket to Johnny Vander Meer's 2nd and final win in the historic Army Navy World War II Championship played in Hawaii.
Behind the dominant pitching of Virgil Trucks and Vander Meer, the Navy squad pounded the Joe D. led Army team 7 games to 2 in this series, which was the brainchild of Admiral Nimitz. Originally slated to be designed to be a 7 game series, it was extended into 9 games due to its popularity with the troops.
Approximately 30 ML players competed in the 1944 Army Navy Championship Series.
Eight of these players would go on to be elected to the Baseball HOF in Cooperstown:
Pee Wee Reese, Joe Gordon, Joe Dimaggio, Bill Dickey, Billy Herman, Red Ruffing, Johnny Mize & Phil Rizzuto

The latter ticket is a nice compliment to the ticket from Vandy's Sept. 23rd win and scorebook that I already have in my collection.
