Rob,
The Robinson looks real good to me too. Matches up with the one I have real well (got mine from Ron Gordon back in the late 80's).
As for the tickets, well no they are not from Sept 21st 1934. Assuming that only one ticket was issued on double headers, I calculate that this was from 7/14/34...also against the Cardinals but no no-hitter thrown.

Did ticket numbers run in reverse? i.e., ticket #32 meant the 32nd game LEFT instead of 32nd game PLAYED?

I just looked at a real Jackie Robinson signature on a baseball this week, you have a very nice example

Thanks for the input, guys. I had a solid feeling that it might be real, just from the other stuff in the apartment. Everything looked "right." I suspect he got many of the signatures himself, and probably many through the mail. A real old-school collector.

Interesting idea on the reverse order of the games, Jon. But I still don't think the math works. Someone either made a mistake somewhere along the way, or maybe a shady type pulled a fast one on this collector. Who knows?
