False Babe Ruth 500th Home Run Ticket - How can PSA date this ticket??????

[Shoeless Moe]

Also, who was the ticket collector you mentioned you got this from? That may help explain this.

Did that collector work at PSA at one time?

[RedsFan1941]

length of ownership has nothing to do with whether this is a ticket stub from babes 500 home run. you can have owned this ticket since the day the game was played and if the ticket wasn’t for the 500 game, nothing is going to change that

[megalimey]

let me go on the record first, I am a big advocate for PSA
and the overall great job they do
but this was slabbed back in the old days
(yes even now they do make mistakes now and then,

this ticket is totally bogus

President 1928-1946 no year ,how can you tell what year just because some one wrote on it and how convenient it was Babe Ruths 500th HR
here are the facts
it has Ticket Price for grandstand as $1.20 , however American League increased Grand Stand ticket prices from $1.10 (10% tax) to $1.20 in in the 1940's (1944 ) this has ( 20% tax)
this ticket Has 20 cent sales tax , however On May 29, 1928 a new Tax Law went into effect and the 10% tax was no Longer added to the Grandstand, Bleacher tickets. so no tax at all, let alone a 20% tax
this ended in 1933 , when it went back 10% tax till 1944
but ignoring those obvious known facts the most glaring error
Ticket Has 49 (home game 49 ) as Played on Aug 11th
when published Home Game schedule for Cleveland in 1929
shows Game 49 according to my count ,as being played on July 18th ( july 4 had two paid admission games so they are allocated two different numbers not even close FYI Aug 11th was Home 57 Game
had it been Game 49 Indians would have only played 65 Home games in 1929

I think owner of this ticket should reach out to PSA to see if they can offer some kind of Resolution

Moral of the story.....

Be VERY VERY careful buying undated Ticket Stubs.

Don't assume the writing on a Ticket is accurate.

I've seen inaccurate info written on Ticket Stubs, and I'm sure they are still out there and will resurface eventually.

Do your homework and wouldn't hurt to have a 2nd party do some research as well to make sure you don't put down big bucks for a BAD item.


(Good teamwork all!)

Thanks for all the information. I have yet to hear back from PSA regarding this issue.

1. I don't see that there was a home game in Cleveland on 4/21/29 according to Baseball Almanac

2. I did reach out for a 2nd opinion on this ticket. PSA. They are supposed to be the experts on this type of thing and the ticket was already graded and approved by PSA so why would I think any different about the authenticity of this ticket.

3. I purchased the ticket from ticket collector Chris Corso in 2011. He purchased the ticket raw from collector Michael Jacobs who had purchased the ticket from collector Ken Fowler. Ken purchased from the original owner that attended the games in Cleveland.

4. I agree with Megalimey......I think owner of this ticket should reach out to PSA to see if they can offer some kind of Resolution

Who in this group got it graded by PSA?

[Streetsideguy]

I believe Chris Corso had the ticket graded after he purchased it raw from Michael Jacobs. Both felt the ticket was the 500th ticket as did PSA. That's what I know.

I can only imagine how hard this is to learn about. I hope you get full satisfaction from PSA - what if anything do they guarantee around stuff like this? Please post what resolution PSA comes to. It is one forum (unlike CU) where the truth always comes first.
