Happy to add this unique complete ticket to my Koufax collection. Certain Brooklyn Dodger games from 1954-56 were designated as Elsie games, where youngsters 16 and under could send in 5 Elsie brand ice cream lids, bags or wrappers, plus 25 cents, and receive a grandstand admission ticket to Ebbets Field.

While the 2 parts of the ticket have separated, having both the admission and rain check sides is very unusual. And of course, the topper is that this was a ticket for Sandy Koufax's first win, a complete game shut-out in which he struck out 14.

Thanks Scott. I debated posting this under the April acquisitions thread, but thought it belonged on the thread of us ticket collectors.

I agree. It's certainly noteworthy enough!

That Opening Day Angels Ticket is too cool as well. Love the artwork... What a beauty!

I'd appreciate any info or, even good guesses, on the year that this was issued. I know that Dreyfuss died in 1932. Thanks.

---I do have a nice one. This is from Game 2 of the '51 WS w/ the Giants and is memorable for the fact it was this game that a NY Rookie named Mickey Mantle caught his spike in a outfield drain pipe cap & tore up his knee, which would be a problem throughout the rest of his career.

I was given this back in '51 from a person who went to that game.

Hey Mark

There might be somewhere to look up seat/grandstand prices for Forbes throughout the years, or even a mention of a specific price for a single season would help tell you if its before or after that date.
Maybe even just compare if you can find prices for any MLB venue from the era, including any datable tickets.

Mark,

REA had a similar ticket listed last year with same price and tax breakdown as circa 1926. I haven't done a ton of research on these but I hope it narrows it down.

Looking at this fun thread has made me want to go and look at my old Dodger game tickets.
