If You Collect Scorecards or Programs, Show 'em Here!

That 1936 World Series program....I mean, I like the NYY version a lot, but....could they have made the image of the Buffalo Nickel any larger, LOL? Also, why the Buffalo Nickel?

It's always nice to go through your collection and stumble upon something you forgot you had. I did just that today, and stumbled on a 1960 Washington Senators opening day program/scorecard, annotated to reflect the thing that distinguishes it from other Senators opening day programs: Ted Williams hit his 493rd home run that day, tying him with Gehrig. The program came with a ticket stub stapled (unfortunately) to the scorecard. But hey, I like Williams and I'd buy it again if I had the chance, without question!

Well the fact that the Ticket is stapled is not the best option but...it is a full opening day ticket that is most likely worth more than the program given the Ted Williams HR. Any way you look at them a great pair of items.

I agree with you John. I do think that one day, scorecards and programs might start to be appreciated for their worth as much as tickets are now. But we aren't there yet IMO. I did think about whether it was a full ticket or stub. From the wording on the raincheck and the coupon, I don't think it's a full ticket. There's also a perforated end on the left side, so unless it came from a season ticket coupon book, that almost always means the ticket had another segment to it. A quick Google search didn't provide anything definitive.

Boy, I hope not.

I like collecting stuff that the investors and the opinion sellers don't generally care about.

1960 World Series GAME 7 program. Scored right up until the Mazeroski HR...

I just got back from a show in Vegas. I picked up this Senators Yearbook to add to the collection along with some other items.

This is a pretty cool scored program to HOF Jim Palmer's 200th career win that I recently picked up on eBay.

Not only is it neatly scored, but the patron sent it to Palmer and asked that he sign it, which he did. IMHO, what takes this to the next level is that it also included the fan note requesting the autograph. Apparently he also attended Palmer's no-hitter in 1969 and scored that program as well.
