1951 Giants Season Ticket??

[Scott Garner]

Hi Paul,
Welcome to net54!
These are unissued season tickets. Your friend is correct that they are missing some key bits of information that would make them more collectible for a ticket collector.

That being said, depending on how much you spent, they are a cool piece of NY Giants memorabilia from 64 years ago.

I agree with Scott....this is way cool. Although they are missing some information, I think that it is very valuable as is. IMO, they lose significant value if you "break" it and separate the tickets into individual lots.

These are nice, Paul. I'm not really into tickets but I debated going after it when I came across them a few weeks ago

Thanks guys!! It is such a cool item and it's in awesome shape. I've been collecting cards for a long time but only recently got into tickets. It's a fun niche' and I'm enjoying the change of pace.

What was the difference between a "seat coupon" and an "admission coupon?"

[Scott Garner]

Gary,
Good question!
The seat coupon is the portion of the season ticket that the patron would hold onto. The admission coupon is the "audit stub", or portion that the ticket taker would hold onto when you pass through the turnstiles upon admission to the stadium. These stubs were kept to count actual gate admission, then typically thrown away by the team.

I hope this helps...

Paul,

I am curious....did you buy this with the intent of "breaking" it and selling the individual tickets or just as something for your own collection?
