signed ticket to September 3rd 1975, The best arm I've ever seen in Baseball Ellis Valentine has his MLB DEBUT, he wasted no time showing off his arm with 2 outfield assists , in the 5th inning on a flyball to RF by Larry Bowa he threw out Dave Cash coming back to 1st base to complete the double play , then in the 8th inning he threw out Larry Bowa at home plate and if that is not enough he prevented Garry Maddox, the husband of his high-school counselor, from hitting an inside-the-park home run. With one out and two on in the Phillies’ third, Maddox hit a liner that got by Expos center fielder Pepe Mangual for a triple. A reporter asked Maddox if he thought of circling the bases.“Yeah, I did,” he said. “But (Valentine) did a good job of running it down and he can throw. Funny thing is my wife used to counsel him when he was in high school

Lelands, REA, Goldin, Heritage, and Hunt all do well with tickets. You might want to research what one of these did at one of those auction houses to give you a better idea.

[mcgwirecom]

May 3, 1964 Sadaharu Oh becomes the first and ONLY player to hit 4 HRs in a game in Japan. This is the only graded example. It is in Goldins Elite Auction ending in a week...

Please let us know what you ended up going with. Also curious to know what level you had to pay, wherever you ended up going with. I have a ticket from the same game, though in a bit lesser condition.

It's amazing to me how well tickets from Jackie Robinson's rookie year are selling lately. Non-milestone games....WOW!

This was my only ticket pickup at this years National. This 1971 All Star Game ticket has long been on my want list. The fact that Reggie took my man Dock Ellis deep connects it to my 1971 Bucs obsession. This was also Clemente’s last All Star Game appearance. When I asked Reggie to sign the ticket I asked him to inscribe it “Off the Roof!” As that was Curt Gowdy’s famous call. Reggie smiled and said, “Gowdy was wrong on that call. That ball was over the roof! Do you mind if I correct him and sign it that way?” Who the hell am I to disagree with Mr. October?

[Batman]

Great story. Gowdy called it as "off the transformer" light tower. Video isnt good enough to verify. I was 11 eating a bag of cheese popcorn and drinking a coke after I got the bottle cap with Tony Oliva off it, about 2 feet from a black and white TV.

[71buc]

Thanks Batman! Why does that sound so campy LOL! Here’s a recent addition to my Stargell memorable moments ticket collection. May 8, 1973, Pops literally goes yard at Dodger Stadium. It was his second homer of his career to land in the parking lot. He is the only man to do it twice.

After witnessing Stargell’s Los Angeles blast Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton said, “I never saw anything like it. He doesn't just hit pitchers, he takes away their dignity.”

Newly graded at the National

John, fantastic example!

Here's mine...

LOL...I was 11 also. Gowdy actually said "off the roof" first and quickly said it's off the transformer shortly after. Not everyone knows that Reggie actually hit it over the roof and out of the stadium later when he was with the Angels. The man had some power. Darn, now I need to get my ticket stub signed.

[Vintagedeputy]

Online auction find. ‘89 ASG

Bo hit a monster HR to center.

[guy3050]

Dan Smith, Not a household name, but he did give up Tony Gwynn's 3000th hit

[Lucas00]

1908 York Beach Maine Ticket/Pass.

York beach only existed for one 25 game partial season in the 1908 class D Maine State League. The back has some identification that I can't make out.
Can't imagine too many of these are kicking around.

[Dewey]

3/22/14 - First MLB regular season game in Australia. Kershaw shines in the season opener on his way to a third Cy Young. Never seen this ticket before and was thrilled to grab it.

Very cool, Dewey! Nice pickup.

[Mark]

Recently, when going through some old boxes back home, I came across these stubs. Brings back some great memories.

[71buc]

Mark, if July 10th is available I’m a buyer.

[mcgwirecom]

One of the earliest Mantle HRs you will find.

[Vintagedeputy]

An antique store rescue from today, a ticket from the 1983 ALCS, game 2.

Mike Boddicker strikes out 14 Chicago White Sox enroute to a 4-0 shutout.

[doug.goodman]

6' 7" 282 lb Aaron Judge just had his first career 3 HR game, which gives him a total of 247 career homers.

5'9" 180 lb Mookie Betts has now been tied by Judge for career homers.

Judge has some work to do to catch Betts in the 3 HR game count, as Betts along with Johnny Mize and Sammy Sosa each have 6 games with a trio of homers.

Here are tickets for four of Mookie's 3 HR games

[Vintagedeputy]

Another online auction find. Not sure why tickets are coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden.

Reds would win this one 6-3 on homers by Billy Hatcher and Mariano Duncan off of Zane Smith.

Just one more stop along the way to the Reds 1990 World Series Championship.

[guy3050]

Got these signed last week at a charity softball game, Dave Palmer's 5 inning perfect game and Otis Nixon 6 stolen bases game

[jjbond]

I just started a collection of Sadaharu Oh home run tickets (#795 is below), and I also stumbled across this perfect game ticket from 1961.

[GregZakwin]

[Es29bc]

Not many out there for this day/game.

[DW03]

October 5 1933 Earl Whitehill wins game 3 of the World Series. Here is a ticket to the game with a ticket to game 4 still attached.

[Vintagedeputy]

Found a couple more 1989 All-Star game tickets to add to the one I found a few weeks ago.

[71buc]

Picked this one up last week. There is one more on eBay for anyone else that may be interested in having a stub to Mazeroski’s last game. There were only 4603 in attendance so I doubt there are many others out there.

[guy3050]

Had the pleasure meeting Lee Smith and getting my ticket to his last career Save #478 signed

[calangels66]

1950's PCL Hollywood Stars. Gilmore Field.

[calangels66]

First MLB game. Jim Perry vs Clyde Wright. Killebrew, Oliva, Carew for the Twins. Vada Pinson, Cardenas, McMullen for the Angels.

[roarfrom34]

Brooks Robinson's final career HR was a dramatic 10th inning walk off three run one vs. Cleveland in front of an announced crowd of only 4826:



Not ticket related, but this stub pares well with the pitching chart that Scott McGregor (who would be the next day starter) kept that evening:

[guy3050]

Was lucky to find this Tim Raines MLB Debut ticket, this is just the 2nd I've ever seen

[Schlesinj]

Just picked up at the last Hunt auction this Babe Ruth Day ticket. Only 7 have been graded by PSA, which surprises me since lots of people went to the game.

IMG_6009.jpg

[Schlesinj]

To fund several recent purchases and a college payment. I too have added a few items to the REA Fall auction. I have seen a few people post their items, so hopefully this is ok on this page for the ticket collectors. I reluctantly added my Jordan debut ticket. I am pleased to see a PSA 2 just sold last night for $50k. That seemed to be the first one that sold in a while from what I have noticed.

There are quite a bit more that have been graded. The problem with this ticket is PSA has graded some that say "Babe Ruth Day" and others that say "Babe Bows Out" and different tickets come up in each search for the same game.

You have that incorrect. Those were 2 separate events.

Babe Bows Out was June 13, 1948

Babe Ruth Day was April 27, 1947

They actually had Babe Ruth Days at several other parks as well.

Thanks Paul for the correction.

Right, this is the Yankee Stadium version.

Yep, the famous one where he spoke to the fans for the last time. 1948 Babe Bows Out (his last time at Yankee Stadium) was the famous Photo, but don't believe he spoke. 1947 Babe Ruth Day speech at Yankee Stadium:


"Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

You know how bad my voice sounds -- well it feels just as bad.

You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys.

And after you're a boy and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in your national pastime, the only real game -- I think -- in the world, baseball.

As a rule, some people think if you give them a football, or a baseball, or something like that -- naturally they're athletes right away.

But you can't do that in baseball.

You've gotta start from way down [at] the bottom, when you're six or seven years of age. You can't wait until you're fifteen or sixteen. You gotta let it grow up with you. And if you're successful, and you try hard enough, you're bound to come out on top -- just like these boys have come to the top now.

There's been so many lovely things said about me, and I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to thank everybody.

Thank you."


-Babe Ruth


(Also, crazy to think he was only 53 when he died in 1948,,,,,,looked and sounded like 80/90)
