The tickets have a printed signature of Frank Farrell, the club president. Here is a great SABR bio on him that I found on line. Here was a very interesting fellow:

Now it's lots of pieces of history...

If he's getting $50 a game he destroyed it for $3850. Assuming he can sell every game. What could he have gotten for it whole?

This is a great book! Congratulations!

They do pop up from time to time - I have assembled a small collection of 6 of them now. I bought the 1901 Philadelphia A's book in Heritage last night, which was signed by Connie Mack - that has 25 of the 70 tickets included. That now is the earliest one I have, with a 1917 Boston Braves one being the latest. Not sure how long beyond 1917 that they were manufactured, but would love to hear about others out there.

Here are a couple of others which I have, with ticket stubs included ranging from less than 10 to full books.

I thought the same thing, but it couldn't be THE one, as he was born in 1917

I wish - the book is from 1913, and our 35th president was born in 1917. But the recipient of this was a cousin of his who was a schoolmaster in Boston if I recall. I looked into this JFK - sadly he passed away in an accident late in August 1913, and all of the unused tickets were from after his passing. I wonder if he had used all of them prior to his death.

Here are a few from two International League teams from the same era, 1915 Montreal Royals and 1917 Buffalo Bisons.
