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

[Chris Counts]

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

Hello Chris:
Any chance you may have some 1941 or 1942 Cardinals tickets for sale?
Thanks for your time and help.
Phil

[Chris Counts]

Hi Phil,

There may be some games where the Cardinals played the Phillies during that era, but there's no mention of the Cardinals on any of the tickets. Most of the tickets come from Shibe Park.
