Ruth Check & 1919 WS Ticket?

Posted By: MVSNYC

i have recently been doing some research into two pieces of memorabilia...Ruth signed Checks and 1919 WS Ticket Stubs. i know they are two completely different pieces, but was just curious if some of the experts out there could give me some info/insight on what to look for or what is the most desirable forms or variations of each? also any ideas on values would be appreciated...

thanks.

From what I can see on the 1919 tickets full tickets are obviously better. Also all the chicago games seem to be better. The best being game 1.

The last game 1 ticket I saw sold for around 3K. Hope this helps.

Looking for 1915 Cracker Jacks and 1909-11 American Caramel E90-1.

The last 1919 stub I saw sold two years ago in a frame and mat for $1,800 and I wish I would have pulled the trigger on that piece. $3,000 for a full is about right and I don't see them all that often.

I bought my first Ruth check in 2002 for $1,700 and today, those checks can be found for around $3,500, but sometimes the bidding gets a little crazy and I've seen some in auctions sell for as much as $4,500. Always nice items framed and matted and seemed to dry up a little.
