Hi Hank, I'm pretty sure there were a few other years around that era that had that type of ticket. I know I have seen some before. I think this is the first 1924 full one that I have seen. Wonder why game 7 wasn't on it?

PS I think I met you at the Baltimore National. I mentioned that I read your book, well I have it on Audible LOL.

Hi Randall,
I was set up at both Baltimore nationals. For the seventh game, it says "reservation for this ticket (not same seat number) will be placed on sale between 4 and 10 p.m. the day before." It also provides for a refund if no game six. I can't remember seeing another world series strip like this one.

No I have not seen a 1924 strip either.

I have seen several of these 1924 strips, three different colors in fact, but don't remember seeing any like this from another world series.

Hi Hank-
I am of the strong belief that the Comiskey WS tickets from the late teens were sold like this but I have never seen a full strip. Many of the Press Tickets from that era were quite similar in their format.

Why wasn’t the 7 th game included on the 1924 strips?

The location was decided by a coin toss after game six. The first six games were two in D.C., three in N.Y., one in D.C. Not sure if the location of the first game was also decided by a coin toss. No travel days in that series, seven games in seven days. I wonder if anyone has tried to chart the systems by which the location of world series games has been decided through the years. Another question is whether both teams in '24 had game 7 tickets pre-printed or if they did them overnight the day of game six.

I picked this up a couple months ago, but had not posted it in on here. The Texas Welcome Dinner was where JFK was scheduled to speak on the night of November 22, 1963, had he not been assassinated earlier in the day.

This is the only ticket I have in my collection. It is just such an amazing piece of history, IMO. The condition is not the best, but I had wanted a Texas Welcome Dinner ticket for a while. The ones the that show up on eBay almost always have outrageous BINs.
