(4) 1936 Boston Red Sox & Boston Braves/Bees ticket stubs - ends TONIGHT 8/16 9 PM ET
Hi,
Up for bids are 4 1936 rain check / ticket stubs, 2 each from the Boston Red Sox and Boston Bees (as the Braves were known at the time). Fronts of tickets have facsimile signatures from the team president; the Bees' tickets have Robert Quinn (former Red Sox owner who was Bees' president from 1933-1945), and the Red Sox tickets have Tom Yawkey (who became owner in 1933). One of the Red Sox tickets is a "Ladies Day" ticket, from the promotions where women were encouraged to come to the games. Regular tickets cost 50 cents at the time, and you'll see on the front that the "Ladies Day" ticket was only 25 cents. Condition is nice on all of these - no major creases or issues (one of the Red Sox tickets has a couple of creases as you can see on the back scan), and mostly clean rips on where these stubs were separated from the remainder of the ticket. Backs of tickets are mixed; the Red Sox tickets have ads, one for Jordan Marsh (former large department store in Boston) and one for Coleman Bros. You will see on the Coleman Bros. ticket that it states they were the contractors for the "New Fenway Park." Fenway had a fire before the 1934 season, and after a massive construction project, opened in April 1934 and was called "New Fenway Park" for a while. Bees tickets have a generic message on the back. I am dating these tickets to 1936 as they came from a lot with another identical Bees ticket which had a 1936 schedule on the back. I sold this one separately on eBay - link shown here so you can see what that ticket looks like for comparison. I believe these four are all 1936 as well, but maybe they are +/- a year or two from that year. It should be safe to call them 1930s for sure though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251120061999...84.m1562.l2649 Let's start the bids at $10. Any increments are good by me. Auction ends on Thursday 8/16 @ 9 PM ET - 9:00 bids are fine, 9:01 bids are not. Any type of payment works for me - PayPal, check, carrier pigeon bringing cash, etc. Please add $2 for shipping - thanks for looking! Last edited by scooter729; 08-16-2012 at 09:31 AM. |
