Mike, love the tickets and how PSA labeled them (I assume you were specific on that?). Well done.

(The Griffeys playing together always blows me away, must've been so special for them...totally unique experience).

Thanks I only wrote the slip for the Spahn the other descriptions already existed.

Gotcha, worked out well then! I think when the labels are properly notated, it can really help tell the story of a ticket.

Great tickets.

I used Past Time Pros to get the Parker ticket signed and was very happy with their service. It took about three weeks to return. The Bob Robertson and Elroy Face tickets I got signed last weekend at the Monroeville show. He inscribed the World Series ticket “Bunt?!” Face inscribed 22 straight wins.

Nice tickets Mike! I remember that 1971 game 2 very well. Me and my buddy were watching it and marveling over Robertson's power. He also had a double I believe, and Mays had a HR and a double as well. Great series that led to an even better WS.

Cleaning out my garage this weekend and my wife came across this program in a box. There was a mint condition stub to Game 5 of the 1995 ALDS tucked inside. I attended the game with my wife and father. I kept my ticket but thought the others were gone forever. It was a pleasant surprise.

Can anybody help me understand whether this ticket stub I recently bought is what it was advertised as? The ebay seller says that it came out of a meticulously kept/labeled collection, and that this was for this 5/1/1933 game, in which Arky Vaughan hit his first grand slam (and inside-the-parker!)

There's a big "55" on the ticket, but 5/1/33 was certainly not the 55th Pittsburgh or Philadelphia game of that season, so I'm not sure what this might refer to, or if this means that this ticket stub wasn't from that game. In any case, I'd hugely appreciate any help. Thanks!

As far as I know nobody has ever figured out how the ticket numbers correspond to specific games for those Phillies tickets. I believe that specific seller just made up information for all of the tickets they listed on eBay. The entire group of tickets were a recent purchase from a Huggins & Scott auction. There was no reference to any back story or hand writing referring to specific dates in the auction listing. Unfortunately I think someone bought the lot, made up several fake listings to flip them on eBay and made a 5 figure profit in the scam. I hope I’m wrong but the facts seem to point to that.

Thanks for the info. Was it this lot, by chance? I can't find any others that look like what you're describing. I guess this will just be wasted money then, if there's no way to really date the ticket to any particular game, and maybe the seller was dishonest. Unfortunate.

Your link is correct. They match up exactly if you compare. Several collectors reached out the seller and were told that they were consigned and the consigner had the story about the person keeping records and writing the dates on the back. Did the one you won have the date written on the back of it? I would certainly not hesitate to reach out to the seller and attempt a return if you are not happy.

Just added this ticket to my Wichita and Kansas collection.

Thank you; I appreciate the extra detail there. Yes, my ticket stub has a date written in pencil on the back. I don't see it exactly in the lot picture, but it's a very similar look to those tickets. Maybe I will reach out to the seller to try to learn more. Thanks again.

Edit: I searched seller's other sold listings, and you're right, some of these tickets match the Huggins+Scott auction lot 100%, like this really obvious one. I sent the seller a message asking for more information. I also mailed Huggins and Scott, just on the off chance they might be able to shed some light on things.
