That's beyond me...

It shocks me that people slab comics the way they do, but it is clearly a huge market.

I cannot tell you how many times I have lit up with joy reading something in a scorecard or program. Stories cheers songs, scorecards are priceless moments in time.... but it dose increases the value by multiples. So as long as I dont have to sell them I am gonna keep reading them.

Same here. I don't have an extensive collection but most of my comics are not slabbed, and I regret buying the 3 #1's that I did happen to buy already slabbed! I'd like to read them!

The scorecards that are actually program/scorecards are neat little time capsules that I also enjoy thumbing through. And in some cases, you lose a lot by simply not being able to hold them and feel the paper. As an example, I have several scorecards from the WWII era, and there's just a different feel to them that you can't experience if they are slabbed.

One of my favorite parts of the hobby is flipping through old scorecards and the like.

Couple of exceedingly rare ones:

- 1945 GI World Series - Played in Nurmberg with Hitler's bunker in the background. I'm sure only a tiny number made it back to the US.

- Jackie Robinson All-Stars Program - All Robinson All-Stars programs/scorecards are rare. But 98% of them were a standard design for the whole tour. This one is specific to a particular game.

I have the same GI World.Series scorecard with the September 2 date, indicating it was from the opening game.


I have this one from the preceding series, the 7th Army Championship.

Here's a Brooklyn scorecard I just picked up, with Matty pitching for the Giants. According to my research, it's from the game that Mathewson notched his 265th win and 2,000th strikeout.

Thought it was appropriate to post this here...Decided to part with my 1923 Yankee Stadium Opening Day Program...in REA now.
