any vintage ticket experts??

what would be a fair price?

According to baseballreference.com, Cleveland's scheduled 62nd home game of the 1915 season was against Washington on Aug. 19. Here's the box score from that game:

Because I'm not a fan of the ticket coupons and am too biased, I'll pass on giving an estimated value.

Knoxcat,
Thanks for supplying the photo of the ticket.
Rob D. is correct that the coupon style tickets are less desirable than their cardboard counterparts, but it is what it is.

Shoeless Joe did manage to get 3 hits in the game, but other than that I don't see anything particularly interesting that occurred in your 62nd game after looking at the boxscore.

I would place a value of $50- $75 for this ticket. I suspect that it would not bring a whole lot more, however many sellers certainly would try.

I hope this is somewhat helpful...

Not trying to argue, but how do you count that date as game 62? Are you counting Doubleheaders as individual games, because those should those be counted as 1 rather than 2? I thought back in the day if you went to a DH your ticket was good for both games. I still believe that ticket for game 62 falls in September.

Anyone have an entire booklet?

From the "More Information Than You Want or Need Department," here's something I forgot I had. This is how the season-ticket coupons originally were issued. As you can see, there are a few coupons left in this booklet.

That's pretty cool Rob!

After further review I'm saying it was the game on Aug 21, game 62.

They were 57-95 that year, 152 games, counting home game backward from 76 if they played half road half home it lands on 8/21. Joe was gone.

And Baseball Reference not sure if that shows Rain Outs, so with those undated ones I'm not sure you can ever be certain, unless you had a vintage schedule from that year, and then counted.

Was searching through a box today and came across this. Figured it's worth a post because you don't see two or more coupons attached (unless they're in a book) and the backs are rarely shown.

Edited to add: I just realized after posting that these two tickets are from the book I posted above (No. 326) -- as is the first example posted in this thread. That's funny, because the book and these two tickets came from two different sources, about 10 years apart.

One more "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it ... " post.

Here's a similar coupon from a 1921 season-ticket booklet. This is a year you don't see often. I picked up this one, because as Game No. 1, it fills a hole in my Cleveland opening-day ticket stub collection.

I think Paul might be right about this, and if so, according to my (possibly wrong) count, I think that game was on Sept 9 versus the Tigers. Cobb was 3-3 in that one giving him 1899 for his career (??), and Jackson didn't play.



That having all been said, I think Joe's answer of "42" is way funnier... I just watched that movie (again) a couple days ago.
