I'm very excited to have been able to add this fully dated ticket stub to a Smoky Joe Wood 1-hit shutout against the NY Highlanders in his historic 34 win season in 1912.
Smoky Joe led all of baseball in 1912 with 10 shutouts in addition to the 34 wins. In 1913 he started experiencing arm trouble and was never able to return to form. Amazingly, he reinvented himself as a position player later with the Cleveland Indians and retired with a .283 batting average (.366 in 1920!). Certainly this is a testament to his great athleticism.
Wood got his 16th win in the second game of a doubleheader on June 29, 1912.

It's important to note that 1912 also marked the 1st year of historic Fenway Park.

Early vintage baseball tickets with complete dates were scarce prior to the 1930's and very scarce prior to 1920.
In fact, most were not dated with the exception of the very spendy best seats in the house.

Many thanks to net54's David Shakir for making this ticket available.
I've been looking for years to find a nice ticket to Smoky Joe's 1912 Tour de Force season & now I can check that one off my collecting bucket list.
BTW, the stunning photo of Smoky Joe below I do not own, but I love the image and saved it. I seem to recall that Bob Freeman may have posted this a number of years ago. The photo of Joe and Bill Carrigan with their wives I do own & came directly out of Bill Carrigan's estate. Thanks to net54's Rawn for selling this to me a few years ago. I love this image as well & I believe it originates from the 1916 season.

Thanks Scott for your purchase , I was going to get it slabbed , but I know some collectors prefer them raw
Mailing today Monday

Here's a new pickup. Rickey Henderson break's Lou Brock's all-time record with his 939th stolen base on 5/1/91 against the Yankees. Rickey was always a favorite of mine so happy to add this to the collection.

1996 Detroit Tigers at Seattle Mariners ticket April 18, 1996. On this day, Alex Rodriguez hit his 1st Career Grand Slam (8th Career Home Run). I also own the bat.

Cool collection. Being a Giants fan, I know 1989 tickets aren’t hard to find....even “the earthquake game.”

[jgmp123]

A couple new additions to the World Series Collection....

[71buc]

Mr2686 (Thanks again Mike) helped me get this one signed. It just returned today. I'm very pleased to have added Maz's autograph to the ticket

[mr2686]

The ticket came out great Mike. I love Maz's sig!

Many thanks to net54's David Shakir for helping me finally find a printed date version of HOF Bob Lemon's no-hitter ticket on June 30, 1948.

Cool!

[Dewey2007]

Nice pickup Scott and props to David for the assist!

Finished my Phillies no-hitter collection a little while ago. Little chance I'll find any tickets to the team's other no-hitters (Ferguson 1885, Donahue 1898, Fraser 1903, Lush 1906) so I guess I'm done.

Congratulations. That's a nice achievement.

Congrats Ed, your collection looks great!
I'm glad you finally found that elusive Rick Wise no-hitter ticket...

[MVSNYC]

Just got these on eBay...using the coupon.

Does anybody know if any significant "fake" tickets are floating around? Any links to threads or internet articles on the topic?

Not prevalent, but they are out there, here's one from the Gipper game:

I have no clue about tickets, but that looks pretty good. If I were to ever get into tickets, I'd definitely try to educate myself.

Always great words to live by.

In all seriousness, ticket collecting has been free of most of the fraud that's plagued other parts of the hobby for the most part. That being said, it's always a good idea to question anything that seems to be too good to be true.

If in doubt you can always ask others on this board for advice.
There is a lot of collective knowledge on net54. It blows my mind sometimes...

Here is one of my tickets...1921 Cleveland Tigers with Jim Thorpe as player coach.

These are tickets to the 1912 Olympics...they include one to attend the inauguration of the stadium, 12th was when Thorpe long jumped, 13th and 14th were for first 2 days out of 3 days of the Decathlon that Thorpe won. I do have an opening day ticket also but can’t locate it right now.

Oorang Indians vs Milwaukee Badgers Football ticket that belonged to John Baptiste Thunder. Each player was given a few postcards to send out for advertising their games with some of the postcards stamped as a ticket also.

I recently came across a couple of cool Mets ticket stubs that were buried somewhere in the vast accumulation of stuff that I call a "collection."

First is a stub from Opening Day 1983. This was Tom Seaver's return to the Mets after a few years with the Reds, or Redlegs as they were known for a few years in the 1950s.



The other one is May 6, 1983 v. Cincinnati. This was Darryl Strawberry's Major League debut.

[jgmp123]

Just picked up this beautiful Indianapolis Indians ticket from Opening Day 1961.....

[BryLojo]

Do you only have olympic tickets from 1912? Do you have any others by chance? Looking for the following (event does not matter):

1896
1908
1920
1924 (Winter only)
1928 (Winter only)
1936 (Winter only)
1948 (Winter only)

[scooter729]

I was happy to add this pair of stubs from a recent eBay auction:
- 1909 Red Sox (Huntington Ave. Grounds)
- circa 1907-14 Yankees (Hilltop Park)

[MVSNYC]

Scott, great pair! Frame them together!

Here's my Highlanders/Sox pair (can't remember if I posted this a while back or not)...

Gorgeous framing job!
Really highlights the tickets and no doubt elevates the piece into art on the wall.

[scooter729]

Nice framing job on yours, Mike! Certainly gives me food for thought on what to do with mine!

Awesome framing job on a true pair of Highlander ducats!

Recently picked up this 1939 World Series ticket...After further reading on the game, I realized this was the last game Lou Gehrig spent in a Yankee uniform. He dressed, but didn't play this game due to his condition.

Planning to frame it soon with a photo from the game...

[MVSNYC]

Thanks guys!

I do see sports memorabilia as “art” and sculpture, so I try to celebrate it as such when I can.

Very happy to add these two to the collection. Game 4 of the 1932 World Series (Babe’s last one) and Game 4 of the 1947 series. Love that the original owner added “No Hitter” to the Ticket even though the No Hitter was broken up with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th!

That is cool, makes for a great story. Did the fan leave early to beat traffic, thinking the game would be a no hitter ? As a collectable, I think the writing makes it more interesting than a pristine unblemished ticket. It puts the ticket in someone's hand who was at the game..."game used"

[guy3050]

Just got this back from framing and I Love it , Framed are 2 1969 full opening game tickets , one is a bleacher ticket (Jonesville) and the other a $5 Box seat along the 1st baseline , also in the frame is a Autograph baseball card of every Expos Player that took part in this historic game including their field manager Gene Mauch , to complete the framing I included my 1969 Pocket schedule.I'm very happy how it came out ,this is now my centerpiece of my collection

That's sweet! I am putting together an archive of the late 1930s Reds. I picked up the 1939 Reds edition World Series Program. Will get the tickets one of these days.

Happy to add this unique complete ticket to my Koufax collection. Certain Brooklyn Dodger games from 1954-56 were designated as Elsie games, where youngsters 16 and under could send in 5 Elsie brand ice cream lids, bags or wrappers, plus 25 cents, and receive a grandstand admission ticket to Ebbets Field.

While the 2 parts of the ticket have separated, having both the admission and rain check sides is very unusual. And of course, the topper is that this was a ticket for Sandy Koufax's first win, a complete game shut-out in which he struck out 14.
