Another stub was from Wilts 100 point game in Hershey, Pa. stub had tape residue and still brought $4182. But the high price was for Game 4 of the 1927 WS where the Yankees clinched a sweep. The stub supposedly belonged to Walter Johnson although they showed no proof of that. It sold for $5079.

Thanks Randall. I hadn't checked yet to sell the final prices, but now I know.

I'm pretty certain that the 1927 WS game 7 was from the Walter Johnson family scrapbook assembled by Hazel Johnson, but Hank Thomas would know for sure since he would have been the one that sold this item (Walter's grandson as you know).

Pretty historic ticket obviously, plus it's pretty neat if it was in fact The Big Train's actual game ticket....
