Ebbets field Ticket stub question (Night Game)
Posted By: Dave
Hi thanks in advance for any help. This stub is from 1938-1942. Macphail was president. I have 2 questions is there a way to narrow it down to what year. Also the rain check statement on the back states it can be exchanged for any championship game. Was this a world series ticket? there is a simular one on ebay that the seller states is the first night game ever at ebbet's field and asking 1200.00 (260273301222), but without a date how can you be certain. Thanks again Dave |

I'm remembering 1938, but I could be wrong. Bruce D. knows this ticket well, hopefully he can add something. |

What we now call "regular season games," were, a long while back, called "championship games," because they counted towards the league championship. |

I have one of those tickets as well -- one of my favorite pieces. They are definitely from 1938 and I know one of these "Night Game" tickets (the order of the games are denoted by that #7 at the bottom) also happened to be the second of Johnny Vander Meer's two cnsecutive no-hitters. The #1 version (i.e., the very first night game at Ebbetts) that is curently being offered on E-Bay is from that game (which means not only is it valuable for it's magnificent die-cut design, but also the extreme historical significance of the no-hitter and the first night game at Ebbets). That said, the colors are off on the E-Bay version and I believe it is a far less valuable proof (if not an outright reprint). |

That would be a nice piece to own. A longtime friend of mine, Tot Pressnell, pitched against Vander Meer in that very game. |

Thanks Bruce and all. I will check out that book and am a big fan of David Spindels work. There's a great picture of an opening day stub from 1941 in the shape of a catcher. |

Sure, Dave. But the issue was reaching a certain price level. Just like baseball cards, tickets that have been graded, authenticated and encapsulated by PSA have been and are going to continue to sell for a premium over ungraded tickets - especially on the higher end levels where a collector may be spending thousands of dollars. |

Well, I have a few quite rare tickets myself, including this one (certainly fewer than 9 known.) |

I've never been interested in full tickets, Bruce. They have nothing at all to do with the event in question. |

Excellent point, Barry, regarding prices. Never thought of that. |
