Default Ticket Stub Collection for Sale, 1885-1950s, updated 5-18

These tickets stubs belonged to a collector named George Keniston, who recently passed away. Some of you might remember George, who along with John Bonaguidi, once operated the Monterey Bay Sports Museum. George left behind notes that reveal details from many of the early 20th century games. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Chris
