1990 Colorado Buffaloes Student Season Ticket
 

Hi all,

Here is one of my favorites. Here we have a 1990 Student Season Pass for the fall football season at Colorado. The ticket was for home games of which four of six were attended by this student. Sep 6, against Stanford, Sep 22, against Washington (a then attendance record for Folsom Field), Oct 22, against Oklahoma and Nov 17, against Kansas State (Senior Day as well as a 64-3 victory, the largest margin of victory ever achieved by the Buffaloes at home.) This is a part of one of the most exciting times in the history the program and gained the student entry to some of the best games in school history.

Stay safe!

My first dip into the ticket pool. My favorite player ever(George Brett) and this was probably his best game ever. For my money the best clutch hitter I ever saw.

June 14th 1987 Expos killer Mike Schmidt Enjoys another memorable day in Montreal, In this game Mike hit 3 homeruns his 509th,510th and 511th to tie the great Mel Ott for the 13th place on the all time homerun list, He also drove in 6 runs and got his 2000th hit,

Nice Mike Schmidt ticket. I was at that game (11 years old) and Mike Schmidt was my older brothers favorite player. Very special to see him hit three homers in a game!

I was on a PSA graded ticket kick for awhile there. Here are some of my items.

Full, unused ticket from Red Sox World Series win in 2004.

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Very nice and rare full ticket to that Gibson game. Whenever I see a full ticket to a milestone game, I always wonder how the person who owned the ticket felt after missing the game. But in this case, that person had a lot of company - all the folks who were out in the parking lot leaving early when Gibson went yard.

My dad has always been a big “leave the game” early type.

He actually went to Game 1 of the 1988 World Series with some friends. As the story goes, he was asking them all night to leave early, and lucky for him, his friends shot him down every time.

Otherwise, he would have been one of those brake lights in the background when Gibson hit the HR.

That's great. Love the frame.

Verlander’s first no hitter and I believe the first no hitter thrown at Comerica Park.

Another full ticket from The Expos 1st ever home Opener with autograph photo from Dan McGinn winning Pitcher

Here's a phantom ticket to Game 5 of the 2008 World Series at Shea Stadium.

Regardless of the outcome, this would have been an important game in Mets history because Game 5 would have been the very last game ever played at the legendary Flushing ballpark (unless either team had swept it in four games).

The holder of this ticket would have had an excellent view of the game - Field Box 41C was right behind the Mets' dugout, perhaps even the very first row.

1915 Federal League Annual Pass
 

A recent pickup from the REA auction that ended last night that I'm happy to add to my advanced no-hitter ticket collection.
Here is an extremely rare Federal League Annual Pass to the 1915 season.
1915 would be the 2nd and final year of the Federal League and an important one as far as no-hitter games.
Four Federal League pitchers pitched no-hitter games in 1915:

Frank Allen of the Pittsburgh rebels no-hit the hometown St. Louis Terriers
Claude Hendrix of the Chicago Whales no-hit the hometown Pittsburgh Rebels
Alex Miles Main of the KC Packers no-hit The Buffalo Blues at Buffalo
Dave Davenport of the St. Louis Terriers no-hit the Chicago Whales at STL.

Three of the four 1915 Federal League no-hitters had extremely low attendance, with 500, 1000 and 1500 fans in attendance respectively.
Finding tickets to these games has proved to be impossible, so adding this rare annual season pass will at least cover these games in my collection.
This particular paper/cardboard 1915 Federal League pass is the only one known to survive in the hobby according to REA.

Love this 1937 Yankees Season Pass. Not only did they win the Series that year, but this is also the year and stadium that HOF'er Mickey Cochrane took that awful hit to the head that ended his career.

Congratulations on a cool, cool, cool piece of Federal League history.

If anyone is in need of a physical 2020 World Series ticket for their collection, this guy has a few... https://ebay.com/usr/ticketestore

These are box office only printed tickets. The only true original tickets I know of on the market.

I'm working on a run of WS tickets from WWII to 1979. It's early days....but here's some of what I have so far

Cool. The '67 and '68 Cardinals WS tickets are among my favorite WS ticket designs.

Mantle first game in NYC

Good one, Doug!
Happy holidays!

Thank you Scott, and a Merry, Happy, etc holiday to you and yours, also.

And to everybody in the net54 family.

Especially Leon for putting up with us all.

And here is the only game that Tommy Lasorda started for the Dodgers...

Copy of ticket stubs belonging to a former associate of mine. His dad went to the 1952 World Series and kept his stubs from games 1 and 6. Game 6 featured the first of a record number of World Series homeruns by a young player named Mickey Mantle. I offered to buy them, but they had more sentimental value to him than monetary value.

Here are some from Japan.

One seller is offering screenshots of his mobile ticket from Game 6 for $12.99!

You've got to see this to believe it, so here's a screenshot of the guy's listing (seller's identifying information redacted because I don't know if we're allowed to "call out" auctions like this, but even if we are I don't want to give him any free advertising).

Tickets for the Rams last game in Anaheim before they moved to St. Louis.

I guess this counts as a ticket, albeit a losing ticket. Willie's last ride. He came in 4th. But, what a great career.

1st Game at Royals (Kauffman) Stadium KC Full Unused Ticket
 

Was happy to pick up this full, unused ticket to the Kansas City Royals first game at Royals Stadium (now Kauffman Stadium) on Apr 10, 1973. This game was a virtual sell-out, so full tickets are nearly impossible to find.

Really like the O’s ‘71 Tour of Japan ticket.

Good ones, Tom!

Did you guys see this on eBay? Went for $1835 (nearly 2 grand with tax).

If I had listed it, it would have sold for 20 bucks. :p

That's a CRAZY realized price for this ticket. :eek:

Scott, two bidders got into a bidding war on this auction. The third bidder was way under $1000.

I haven’t seen many examples of that first game in California stub.

A couple notable tickets that are in my collection are Justin Verlander's first No-Hitter from June of 2007 and the May 14, 2012 Nationals Padres game (Harper's first Big League Home Run).

I found this 1900 Bucknell ticket a while ago but I was unsure if Christy Mathewson played in the game since he pitched for the Giants in Boston on the Wednesday before. I recently found a recap/boxscore in the Bucknell Mirror that shows that he actually had 2 Touchdowns in the game.

Nice find on the Bucknell ticket!

Someone should grab these up before someone else does.

Maybe they just forgot to use a decimal in the listing price;).

Rick,

Great catch on that guy.

I've been watching that guy's (ebay id: gidez32) tickets since Covid began. While he sells other items. He doesn't know jack about Tickets. In fact overpays for every ticket and he then re-lists and lists it at stupid prices. And other then a Jordan Ticket or 2 he sells NONE!!!

Ticket collectors are VERY SMART. And while prices have risen slightly, he's trying to set a new market, but again since March of last year hasn't sold ANY.

If you put in Ticket in search under his items: 165 Tickets

Sold: Zero - other then Jordan and a signed Kobe, but Ruth and Baseball zilch!!!!

On a positive note, he is great for sellers of Ruth Tickets. He will overpay., because again he knows nothing about Ticket prices and the market.

Yeah, this guy is a Nemrod

Ticket to Walter Johnson's 33rd and final win in 1912
 

Here is the only known ticket to WaJo's 33rd and final win in his terrific 1912 campaign.
Historic? This game actually has it all on so many levels...

Johnson literally did it all in 1912.

He won over 30 games for the 1st of two consecutive years of accomplishing this lofty goal. He struck out over 300 batters for the 2nd time in his career- 303 (led MLB) in 1912. His 1.39 ERA also led all of baseball in 1912.
Oh yeah, there was also a winning streak of 16 games without a single loss...

In this game, which was played in NY, Walter defeated the AL NY Highlanders in what would be the final time that they would be called the Highlanders.
In 1913 NY changed their name to the NY Yankees for the 1st time.

Only 200 people attended this game, which is an incredibly small number, making this ticket perhaps one of the rarest historic games that I have ever seen, FWIW...

Not an oldie, but a goodie. Mike Trout Debut & 1st Hit panel ticket

Where did you come across that? That is a tremendous ticket.

Scott is the Indiana Jones of ticket collectors. LOL

This was the first game back after the 1981 strike when Kansas City opened a series at Memorial Stadium. The game went into the 12th inning tied at 2-2 when in the bottom of the frame, Ken Singleton doubled to lead off the inning when a just recalled Cal Ripken Jr. was called into the game to pinch-run for him. The Royals intentionally walked Eddie Murray & then John Lowenstein singled to right field scoring Ripken with the game winning run.

Not a bad game for a MLB debut:

He certainly is.

Thanks Jamie!
This ticket was actually an eBay purchase.
