that's really nice. i've never seen one in a nice case like that. not my wheelhouse but I'd think a few grand?

Pete I think your a bit high, I'd say closer to $100-150.

The season passes don't do that well unless they are pre-1920, or team specific and/or major year/event related.

1947 is obviously the year that Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the National League and the MLB. This is a National League pass...

IMHO, it has to be worth at least $500 to the right collector although admittedly passes are not my forte.
I have however been a long-time collector of vintage baseball tickets.

Thanks Scott. Does this year add to the significance of a piece like this?

In my humble opinion, yes it definitely does.

I am not a "pass or ticket" person either but agree the value will be based on the audience. My gut tells me 200-500 value but that is just a gut feel. It's a great piece.
If I were to sell it I would find a good auction house with a big audience and go from there. I only have 1 season pass or ticket, shown before (and I paid 4 figures for it, as a reference)....They are neat collectibles...

Very cool, Leon! Love that one - beautiful piece.

I appreciated the advice. I have one collector that I am reaching out to - but I get what you mean when you say value will vary widely by audience. Thanks again.
