Posting this one is bittersweet for me -- I've owned this 1932 World Series stub since I was a kid, but now it's on the auction block.

c.1905-10 Hilltop Park Ticket Stub, highlanders (thanks David!)

1929 Yankees Opening Day Ticket...(David posted his 1923 stub)...based on some research, this game was postponed due to rain and was played 2 days later...Ruth homered in his first at bat, and this marked the first game that the Yanks wore numbers...the first team in sports to do so permanently.

Mantle's 500th career home run. Both the ticket and the photo are extremely rare.

Megalimey, what does your research show about dating Ladies Day "L" tickets? I have these tickets and thought they could be 1941, but do not know for sure. The L-4 ticket was taken from a scrapbook of 1941 (J) and 1942 (K) tickets. Written next to the ticket is "Russo v. Detroit". Russo pitched against Detroit on June 20, 1941 and won 14-4. It was a Friday and the fourth home Friday of the season. It was game 33 of DiMaggio streak and DiMaggio had 4 hits.

ladies day ticket were introduced in 1932 and ended in 1942
they are almost impossible to date by year unless there is some thing noted
which could be fabricated however your
1941 J ticket game 29 is a Di Maggio Streak ticket for sure

Thanks David, very helpful and great article. Now I know for sure on one of the tickets. I am now 100% sure on the L-4 ticket too since it came from the same scrapbook I got 15 years ago and was the game (June 20) right before this J ticket game 29. There was writing all over the scrapbook in the same hand, so hard to believe the "Russo v. Detroit" was fabricated, but I understand no way to prove. Since I have no intention of slabbing or selling, knowing is good enough for me. BTW - you should add your info about Ladies Day tickets to your PSA article.
