No clue. I've seen many 7th game stubs without the lines, can't say whether I've seen another with. Would be interesting to know.

Standing Room Only tickets all had the green lines corresponding to the number of the game. 1 line=game 1, 7 lines=game 7. Other tickets with seats do not have the lines, with the exception of a small number of the lesser seats (Temporary Bleacher). I bet it has something to do with the entrance and ticketing such that they would not be able to access the non-'lined' part of the stadium. The tickets also are different colours, based on their location in the stadium it seems.

Great info, is this specific to the 1924 series and Washington, or was this technique also used in New York that year or for other world series?

1925 Washington does not appear to, but the Yankees tickets from the 60s did have large printing for some of the lesser seats. Plus, there is good prescedent for different format tickets for different games.

For over 20 years, I've been looking for the ticket from May 6, 1984 where Cal Ripken Jr. became only the 2nd Oriole in their history to hit for the cycle (Brooks Robby was the first).

The game was played in Arlington on a Sunday afternoon in front of a sparse crown of 13,224 fans.

Finally, I found one on eBay (a full ticket no less) from a seller from France (of all places) with an awkward description (which brought fewer eyes to it):

Bumping this terrific thread that our friend Jimmie (The King of Clout) started nearly 11 years ago, I'm lucky enough to contribute this 500th post. Wow!
RIP Jimmie!

I'm very excited to add this uber rare ticket stub from 1910 at the CWS South Side Park III to my advanced no-hitter collection.

On April 20th, 1910 HOF'er Addie Joss hurled his 2nd no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox in front of 7,000 fans. Joss struck out 2 and had 2 BB, but what really stood out was that he made an unparalleled 10 assists himself in support of his no-hitter. This game would prove to be Addie's last dominant game in his short, but spectacular HOF career.

Tickets from South Side Park, which was constructed of wood, are very scarce indeed. What makes tickets from 1910 special is that the CWS moved to Comiskey Park, which was cavernous and constructed of steel, in July of 1910.

CWS tickets from this era were not dated to the best of my knowledge, so the fact that the ticket states that it could be used for any date in the 1910 season easily qualifies it for my collection. It literally is like finding a needle in a haystack...

The seller recently unearthed this ticket from the bottom of a box in a basement that at one time belonged to his great grandfather who attended the game in 1910. It's appearance is new to the hobby.
