Pretty sure I remember you buying that one from me. I got one locally from Ed (the guy mentioned earlier in this thread).

Well, these booklets are hitting ebay again and all from the guy who originally sold the first four booklets back in 2012. I can't believe he waited this long to sell more of them, but he has sold 4 of them in the last month.

And Meatloaf (Alex) still has a graded single listed in his ebay store for $799.99.

I think the tickets are great looking, Im just curious what you believe a reasonable offer is? I saw your ticket pop up in my ebay search list (before I saw these threads) and immediately moved on as it is way out of my realm for a single ticket.

I could see asking 3,4, even $500 for this ticket, but how did you come up with $10K (especially since you told us what you paid for all the tickets)?

how about some one else having a book and selling them for $24 for a single and he has sold a bunch of them already maybe not that rare

Admittedly I bought a book. I think they are neat.

Well I just read this thread and went to the bay to look at the competition and tickets are now listed at $25 each which I think is more than fair. I purchased one and will update you when it arrives. I do not think I will have it graded it looks just fine the at it is.

Jonathan,
Are you sure you don't want to spend $50 to grade a $25 ticket?
That sounds reasonable to me....

I always am looking for Omaha Baseball items so from the beginning of this thread/find I wanted at least one of these tickets. I just got 2 for just $21 ea. Happy to add them to my collection.

Just a quick search showed different ticket books number as follows:

# 75-full
# 76-full
# 77-full
# 89-sold full now singles
# 91-full
# 93-sold full now singles
# 100-full

So there may be as many as 25 full books from this find (maybe) if you have a ticket or book with a different number let me know and I'll update this list.

There were other booklets sold locally, I do not know the numbers on those books though.

David,
Now that seemingly a lot of these have surfaced recently, I personally am out.
They are cool though. It's just that I'd rather spend my money on something rarer.
