Best way to sell a 1912 World Series ticket stub??

[jbsports33]

I agree with Leon, try different ways on your own first and see what happens, because there is no guarantee with an auction house with an item like yours. The ticket is a very select item that only certain collectors look for, just take it to the show and get some ideas from other collectors or dealers on your own and don’t sell it or place it in auction just yet.

Good luck with the ticket sir. and good idea to keep it if you don't get what you think is fair. Babe's first ML game was 1915? . Great history obviously w Snodgrass, Matty, Wood, etc. , and from the Second world championship of the Sox.

Wow, thanks for all the great advice everybody. I'm really glad that I decided to become a member here at Net54. It seems like this is a really great forum, with a bunch of really classy members. Unfortunately, I don't have very many Pre-war items yet, but I guess the ticket stub isn't a bad way to start.

The 2003 edition of the Standard Catalog of Sports Memorabilia lists the 1912 ticket stub in a price range from $650-900.

You can't go wrong with the REA that is coming up in the spring

Hey guys, I took your advice and ended up listing the ticket stub on eBay. I decided to run it as a regular auction style listing with a reserve, but I have a quick question. I've already had a couple of people send me messages asking me what I set my reserve amount at. How should I reply to these types of messages?? How do you guys think the auction looks?? Is there anything that I should add or remove from the listing?? Thanks again for everybody's help!!

Here is a link to the listing:

I rarely list with a reserve, but when I do and someone asks what it is, I always reveal it to them.

The Auction looks pretty good. And yes, it probably is smart to reveal a reserve, if they ask, so they don't waste their time if its too high, or plan their top bid, knowing what they have to bid at the very least.

Good luck w the stub. Certainly a great item!

Excellent job on the listing. Definitely disclose the reserve, if they ask. There is no downside, and you may lose them as potential bidders if you were to skirt the issue. They would not be inquiring unless they were interested.
