Nice tickets. I am a little distraught however to see so many in PSA plastic slabs. Surprised you fellas haven't already gotten a scolding from the memorabilia police for not upholding your sacred duty to properly preserve the hobbys history as per recommendations of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

At least I practice what I preach, Snappy old boy.
Ya know, a Gehrig Appreciation Day stub sold for over $100k last year. Here's mine. No slab.

Seems to be very selective who you attack for slabbing stuff.

I've dipped a toe into the ticket collecting world.

One area of focus has been 1939-1940 UCLA tickets from games/events that Jackie Robinson took part in.

Here are a number of football tickets and a track event (from 1941)

Juiced, but still a fun summer, 'twas.

Oh, really? How so? I have made my point (I think) about slabs. I practice what I preach, and don't use them. The only person I "attack" is a thin-skinned moron who decided to take my views on preservation personally. Oh, well.

First off!

Thanks go out to Scott in hooking me up with a gentleman that had an extra ticket of Frank Howards last MLB Home Run. As a result of that networking, I am now the very proud owner of this ticket stub.

Which, by the way is now a focus of my collecting along with Topps variations from my collected sets. SCORE!

Hondo was playing for the Detroit Tigers and the game was in Fenway against Boston. Hondo smacked #382 off of pitcher Bill Lee in the seventh inning. Boom, #382 was in the books. Hondo went 3 for 4 in that appearance, scoring twice and had one RBI. Detroit went on to win the game 6 - 1.

This ticket for me is one of the Grail tickets and I am STOKED to have it in my possession. Now on to the other Hondo ticket stubs that I am looking for.

An interesting side story. A couple of Frank's teammates on Detroit during that game: Joe Coleman, Ed Brinkman, and Aurelio Rodriguez. Who were teammates with Frank when he played for the Senators.

Cheers!

Butch

Nice pickup, and as you have found out, Scott could probably find a ticket to a game on Mars. LOL

If anyone has this ticket for sale, please let me know.

The only ones of my 478 World Series Tickets that are slabbed are ones I bought that way. Otherwise, no slab for me! Always looking for good quality WS and ASG tickets!!!

Mail day today....These bring me to 76% through my 1930 - 1980 WS Ticket Run (one ticket from each series).

Vintagedeputy · #16 10-17-2022, 08:14 PM

I don't have many tickets, but I have a couple of fun ones. This one is neat.

Cornell vs. Navy

Here's why that game was significant..

My only priceless souvenir ticket from the ALDS game #3 in Cleveland. The parking garage.

April 17th 1969, So glad to add this one to my collection
still searching for Bill Stoneman's 2nd no-hitter on October 2 1972
It seems that the Expos wanted to give their fans a lifetime of memories as quickly as possible.
As if the inaugural game at Shea Stadium or the first home opener win at Jarry Park weren�t memorable enough, the Expos quickly adopted a flair for the dramatic in just the franchise�s ninth game, on April 17, 1969. That night, Bill Stoneman pitched a no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies, allowing Nos Amours�a French expression meaning Our Loves�to achieve the feat more quickly than any other team.
