These are beaters but still look terrific along side their corresponding original photograph...

The first time I sat in field box seats and also the last home game before the terrorist attacks.

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.

Here's one I haven't shown in years.

I just got the Jim Wilson No Hitter Stub in the mail Today. Also in Mail was this ticket I had authenticated 1885 Providence Grays Mutual Ticket. My understanding was that a mutual member was a part owner / season Ticket holder. Old Hoss Radbourn coming off his 59 win season was part of this team their last year in the National League. My oldest national League Ticket.

Nice Wilson No-Hitter ticket Jonathan. I just bought a scored program from that game a couple days ago, I wonder if they began life as a pair?

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.

Rest in peace Jimmy...

Just got this back from PSA today. One of my fvorite parts of collecting is the work going into finding old schedules and boxscores and spending hours reviewing them just so you can find a gem like this. Cy Young's last win. #511 Pittsburg, September 22 1911. Only 1200 fans were at this game!

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.

[vintagesportscollector]

I went through the pieces I pulled from the scrapbook I got these tickets from, and discovered this article/box score from this June 20, L-4 ticket, along with a cartoon image of Dimaggio depicting the streak.

Pretty cool to able to make a connection between some pieces I have had for a long time. I probably should have kept the scrapbook together years ago, but didn’t make the connection – you live and learn. I have been asking for years if there was any way to date some of these tickets and David’s article helped with the “J” ticket, and draw some connection to this “L” ticket.
