At that time, you could pick them up on eBay for $15-$20 each.
That being said, yours stands out to me because of the area on the left side where the name and school could be recorded. I'm not sure that I've seen one with that area on the ticket (then again, I haven't look at mine for a long time). That's not to say the examples I've seen had that part cut off. I don't think that's the case, because I hope I would have noticed that kind of trimming across such a large area. Maybe some years that area was on the ticket and in others it wasn't. I do know that the main design of the ticket from year to year pretty much was unchanged. I'm not sure having that on your ticket adds much of a premium, but it is neat.
Like Jeff, I'm surprised the ticket was graded a 9 because of the writing. I don't pay much attention to grading then it comes to tickets, but that high of a grade with any type of writing on it makes me scratch my head.
Hope this helps.

Mac,
Since you are new to collecting baseball tickets I would like to add to what Rob previously said. BTW, I have been collecting baseball tickets for over 38 years.
The value of a baseball ticket is very much a function of what happened in the specific game that occured on that date in history. In researching this game it does not appear that anything remarkable occured with regards to a HR hit by a HOF'er or a win by a HOF pitcher. That being said, this tickets' value is based only on it's age and condition. I'm personally not into slabbing tickets, but it does appear to be in great shape considering it's 75 years old. As a collector, the hand written info to the left adds to the uniqueness.
