1927 World Series
Does anyone know if there any reproductions of 1927 World Series tickets out there. I have a chance at buying a ticket to game 2 but am worried about any fakes being out there. --- E Smith

I don't know of any official reprints, but there are well done forgeries out there due to the popularity of the team. A very good high res scan would help for the ticket guys.

I've seen some repros of tickets but all of them also had repro signatures on them too. Like a Clemente signed 3000th hit stub. There were several others too.

Hi Edward,
Although I have collected vintage baseball tickets for many years, I am not an expert on vintage World Series tickets, since I don't collect them. That being said, the ticket that you posted does appear to be vintage and quite possibly real. Since I don't have it in hand, try removing it from the sleeve and do a sniff test. Does it smell like old paper? Does the cardboard stock feel old to the touch? Just curious, how did you come to own this ticket? |

Based on the quality of color and print, the fact that it's Forbes Field and not Yankee Stadium, and I assume you have felt the creases and it feels like a vintage thicker stock cardboard with a real perforation at the top I think it's most likely real. As has already been mentioned, in hand it's a lot easier to tell.

Thanks, for the response. I got it from a guy in Philadelphia who sells a little of everything. It's currently in transit to me, so I haven't been able to make a more thorough examination of it yet.-----Edward Smith

It should be made of thick cardboard paper and it absolutely looks authentic.... Old World Series tickets have been my specialty area since 1998...I have never seen a repo 1927 World Series ticket from Pittsburgh... by the way the 1923 gm 1 ticket on eBay currently is a reproduction for around $1000. easily seen by the font... yours is good

Thanks for the responses, I'll know more once I get it. If you mean the orange 1923 ticket I'd have to agree, it looks terrible.----E Smith

IronHorse, It looks like my ticket has some of the same flaws in the 2 below RAIN CHECK as your ticket. And I'm definitely not a ship's captain, much less of the Titanic.---E Smith

Received the ticket today and it looks authentic to me. I was a bit worried about authenticity because of how much I paid.---Edward Smith
