Full 1973 ticket for Willie Mays Last hit (3293) and last RBI (1909). For what its worth there are no other stubs or full tickets on the PSA pop report for this date.

I recently was fortunate to scratch another early vintage no-hitter ticket off of my want list.

Here is a ticket stub from CWS pitcher Vern Kennedy's August 31, 1935 no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians.
The White Sox prevailed 5-0 with Kennedy fanning 5 with 4 BB.
Additionally, Kennedy helped his own cause in this game hitting a triple w/ 3 RBI's.
Kennedy was a great overall athlete and had a career batting average of .244 over 12 years in the major leagues. Not bad for a pitcher!

Another pre-war toughee with a very small attendance of 5,000. It's also important to note that the majority of CWS tickets from this era were undated tickets.
This is the only example that I have ever seen or heard of entering the hobby as long as I have been collecting.
Luckily it's fully dated and in terrific shape for being 87 years old....

I now have tickets to 237 different no-hitter games dating back to 1901.

Amazing the graphics and the diversity of the different ticket types

Very cool

Can't remember if I posted this before, but full ticket from first game of the Anaheim Piranhas Arena Football League from 1996.

A couple of ticket stubs to the Championship Wrestling Match held in St. Louis and a couple of ticket stubs to a Browns vs. Yankees game that I think may have been played as part of a double header on Sun. Sept 18. Or these stubs may be for something else because my research shows Browns not playing on Sept . 19 1932. Any Ideas?

That's a regular season game ticket--nothing special about it at all. And certainly nothing rare or valuable.
It probably cost more to have it slabbed and graded than it's worth.
Does everything have to be encased in plastic and bear the imprimatur of these self-proclaimed "experts in all things"?

Lol....it was purchased slabbed and re-holdered. Cost $10 to do that. Cost significantly more to buy. Ruth hit tickets are more expensive than you are assuming them to be. Because, you know, Ruth. And only but so many tickets have survived.

Oh well, each to his own.

Paying more for a "Ruth hit" ticket!
And then, paying even more to slab and grade it!

I guess I've been at this too long. It's a whole new "collecting" world. As Bob Dylan wrote, "I can't stay in here, ain't it clear, that I just don't fit."

Just for the hell of it, though, here's my most prized ticket. One of these just sold in Heritage's February 26, 2022 auction for $108,000. Because, you know, Gehrig. You'll notice that mine's not slabbed.

This is Jerry West's last tournament NCAA college game in the NCAA tournament on 3/11/1960. West Virginia University (WVU) lost to NYU 82-81 in overtime 82-81. However, WVU played in a consolation game on 3/12/1960 and West played.

"To each his own" and yet you felt the need to criticize something I posted and deem it "nothing special or rare" -- maybe it is to me.

I'll assume your ticket is fake because, you know, you don't feel the need to increase its value significantly but protecting it and authenticating it in a slab. Must not be that special after all.
