Cool stuff, everyone!

Thought I posted this, but maybe didn't.

I don't have many impressive stubs left, but I do have about 300,000 season ticket sheets and stubs from the past decade for various college football, NFL, MLB and NBA teams. My most significant stub (that I am aware of) is an Angels v Mariners stub of Mike Trout's first game. I had 4 of them, sold off 3 for about $1100 each. Not bad considering the Angels season tickets that year were under $500/ea. Maybe the rest will be worth something in 40 years. LOL

Photographer's ticket for the Opening Ceremony of the 2022 Olympics. Along with collecting Olympic photography I also collect items related to the photographers, including credentials, vests, badges and patches. Unlike pro sports the photographers need tickets along with their credentials at the Olympics. This prevents too many photographers from attending events since their shooting areas are usually defined. The oldest photographer identified tickets I have and have seen are 1948 London. Prior to that there are press tickets or no defined tickets. Some of the games after 1948 did not have photo identified tickets. 1972 Munich and 1976 Innsbruck used press tickets. 1996 Atlanta used 'Accreditation Required' tickets.

Joel Youngblood had a mostly undistinguished 14-year MLB career, though on August 4th 1982 he laid claim to one of the more quirky feats in baseball history.
On Aug. 4, 1982, Youngblood became the only player ever to get a hit for two teams, in two cities, on the same day.
Youngblood began the day as a member of the Mets, who played a day game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago. In that game, Youngblood went 1-for-2 with two RBIs in a 7-4 Mets win. After the game, he was traded to the Expos, who played that night against the Phillies in Philadelphia. In that game, Youngblood singled as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning of a 5-4 Phillies win. Two hits, for two teams, in two cities, on the same day.
That's impressive enough. But even more impressive is that both hits came off eventual Hall of Famers: Ferguson Jenkins in Chicago and Steve Carlton in Philadelphia.
Not a bad day at the office(s).

THAT is a fantastic display piece, and a great piece of trivia.

Two more programs added to my scored program want list, hahaha.

That's the kind of baseball history I love to collect. It would have been even cooler if he would have been on the winning side of both games.

I do Jay! Did I buy it from you, or sell it to you? That was about 12 years ago.

Neither, I sold it for you.
Luckily I kept the scan

Great Stub, Tom!

Jay, I remember now. Also glad you saved the scan, I like having images of former cards and ticket stubs, thanks!

Adam I love those Lakers tickets. You have quite a diverse collection.

Full 1973 ticket for Willie Mays Last hit (3293) and last RBI (1909). For what its worth there are no other stubs or full tickets on the PSA pop report for this date.

[Scott Garner]

I recently was fortunate to scratch another early vintage no-hitter ticket off of my want list.

Here is a ticket stub from CWS pitcher Vern Kennedy's August 31, 1935 no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians.
The White Sox prevailed 5-0 with Kennedy fanning 5 with 4 BB.
Additionally, Kennedy helped his own cause in this game hitting a triple w/ 3 RBI's.
Kennedy was a great overall athlete and had a career batting average of .244 over 12 years in the major leagues. Not bad for a pitcher!

Another pre-war toughee with a very small attendance of 5,000. It's also important to note that the majority of CWS tickets from this era were undated tickets.
This is the only example that I have ever seen or heard of entering the hobby as long as I have been collecting.
Luckily it's fully dated and in terrific shape for being 87 years old....

I now have tickets to 237 different no-hitter games dating back to 1901.

A couple of nice ticket additions, Mike!

Just added to my Red collection a few weeks ago.
Cardinals retire #2.
Unfortunately couldn't find any pictures from that day.

That is nuts!!!!! It's good to be a seller these days.

Along the lines of WTF:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/23448659760...sAAOSwhjNiQEtT

That ticket is worth maybe 5 or 10 bucks.

Oh and if anyone has Harmon Killebrew's last check swing during an at bat I'm looking for that ticket.

Rob,
Condition issues aside, Willie Mays' 3,000th hit ticket is really tough to find.
And I know exactly why!
One of my close friends attended Willie's 3,000th hit game.

The SF Giants offered to give every fan that attended the game a FREE ticket to any upcoming game... in exchange for their ticket to the game!
The Giants proceeded to throw all of these tickets away.

The lure of getting something for free proved to be too much to resist for virtually all of the fans. Thus explains the scarcity of Willie's 3,000th hit tickets.

That being said, over $6,000 for this ticket with condition issue is cray cray!!

My buddy was also there….he, of course, opted for the exchange.

Well, looking at the seller, it doesn’t surprise me with the ridiculous price.

Amazing the graphics and the diversity of the different ticket types

Very cool

[ocjack]

Can't remember if I posted this before, but full ticket from first game of the Anaheim Piranhas Arena Football League from 1996.

[brad15]

A couple of ticket stubs to the Championship Wrestling Match held in St. Louis and a couple of ticket stubs to a Browns vs. Yankees game that I think may have been played as part of a double header on Sun. Sept 18. Or these stubs may be for something else because my research shows Browns not playing on Sept . 19 1932. Any Ideas?

[Shoeless Moe]

Brad, looks like it was a schedule change according to Baseball Reference the game was moved from Sept 19 to Sept 18, maybe rain was expected for the 19th.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/t...e-scores.shtml

But to know exactly why you need to go to a newspaper from Sept 18/19 1932.

[brad15]

Thanks, I didn't see that schedule change the first time i looked at that.

[UKCardGuy]

Here's one that I recently added to the run of 1930-1980 World Series tickets that I'm building.

This was the deciding game for the Tigers first World Series victory.

[mikemb]

Here is my ticket stub from the first game I attended, August 27, 1965 at Shea Stadium in New York. The San Francisco Giants defeated the N. Y. Mets by a 9 to 2 score.

The Mets offence consisted of a 2 run home run by Charley Smith.

The Giants put on a show, hitting 5 homers! Willie Mays hit his 40th of the year, career number 493 tying him for 5th place on the all time list with Lou Gerhig. Willie McCovey hit 2 homers and Jim Ray Hart and Len Garielson added one each.

The winning pitcher? Warren Spahn, his next to last win, #362 of his career.

Quite a game for an 8 year old!

Mike

Does everything have to be encased in plastic and bear the imprimatur of these self-proclaimed "experts in all things"?

Lol....it was purchased slabbed and re-holdered. Cost $10 to do that. Cost significantly more to buy. Ruth hit tickets are more expensive than you are assuming them to be. Because, you know, Ruth. And only but so many tickets have survived.

Oh well, each to his own.

Paying more for a "Ruth hit" ticket!
And then, paying even more to slab and grade it!

I guess I've been at this too long. It's a whole new "collecting" world. As Bob Dylan wrote, "I can't stay in here, ain't it clear, that I just don't fit."

Just for the hell of it, though, here's my most prized ticket. One of these just sold in Heritage's February 26, 2022 auction for $108,000. Because, you know, Gehrig. You'll notice that mine's not slabbed.

This is Jerry West's last tournament NCAA college game in the NCAA tournament on 3/11/1960. West Virginia University (WVU) lost to NYU 82-81 in overtime 82-81. However, WVU played in a consolation game on 3/12/1960 and West played.
