Very nice pickup! Currently my project is solely focused on a ticket/stub from each World Series from 1920 - current day. You are also correct, it came from the REA auction. The 1921 went a little high for what I was looking at.

1917 St. Louis Browns annual pass signed by team owner Neal Ball
As many of you know, for many years I have collected tickets to no-hitters and perfect games.
Currently I have tickets to about 230 different no-hit games out of the 313 that have been pitched in ML history. 166 of these tickets are signed by the pitcher that threw the no-hitter. FYI, I hope to write a book on no-hitters when I retire... Additionally, I intend to put an unusual spin on the great books that have already been written on the topic. The elusive tickets that I am still looking for are, without a doubt, "black swans" and locating them can prove to be quite a collecting challenge. Literally like finding a needle in a haystack. A long slog, but I really love it! I have determined, for a variety of reasons, that many would never likely be findable. For that reason, I occasionally look for a suitable "filler" for my collection, especially if the game/games that it covers are particularly historic and noteworthy. Although I am late with this post, I'm excited to have found a beautiful addition to my collection at The National in Chicago a few weeks ago. This pickup fits this description... Background: In the history of baseball, only 3 times have no-hitters been pitched on consecutive days in the same ballpark. These 3 no-hit duets are: Gaylord Perry (Sept. 17th, 1968) and Ray Washburn (Sept. 18, 1968) @ SF Jim Maloney (April 30, 1969) and Don Wilson (May 1, 1969) @ Cincinnati The 3rd time this occured was much earlier in 1917 @ StL. Browns Ernie Koob (May 5, 1917) and Bob Groom (May 6th, 1917). Also of interest is that both games were pitched against a very good opponent the CWS, with the losing pitchers both times being excellent pitchers in their own right. In fact, both LP's Eddie Cicotte and Joe Benz each pitched their own no-hitter in 1917 and 1914, respectively. At The National I found this beautiful 1917 StL Browns Annual Pass that is signed by Browns owner Neal Ball. Neal Ball's autograph in of itself is quite rare as he had a death date of 1933. Anyway, here it is: Last edited by Scott Garner; 12-31-2021 at 04:28 AM. |

I believe you mean May 1, 1969 not April 1, 1969 and Don Wilson not Jim Wilson who pitched in the early 50's __________________

Thanks, you are correct. Maloney and April 30th, 1969 date is correct, but the no-hitter on May 1, 1969 @ Cinci was, in fact, Don Wilson.

Call me crazy but as I look at recent sales of other stubs I think the Clemente 3000 hit stub is under valued. I believe that may change this year. I base this opinion on a couple of factors. It is the career defining event of a beloved and highly collected figure. This being the 50th anniversary of the event and his passing will generate increased media attention. What are your thoughts? Are there any other stubs out there that you think are under valued considering today’s market?

If you don’t have this one already it can be tough to find. I believe this one is his only post season homer.
