August 29, 1951 rookie Mickey Mantle hits career HR #9 off Satchel Paige in the 9th inning at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis.

I like those Mantle rookie HR scorecards...

[doug.goodman]

He only threw two, and now I have them both. With thanx to Lelands.

My 273rd different regular season game with a scored Koufax program, and 123rd win game.

I don't collect programs or score cards. A friend recently sent me three programs from June 21st, 22nd and June 23, 1963 Red Sox vs the NY Yankees. Two of the programs are partially scored. All three programs have the same picture on the front cover.




June 23, 1963



June 22, 1963

[doug.goodman]

Those are nice, I think every 1963 Red Sox game used that cover.

You posted the wrong link for the June 22 game, here's the one you meant to use...

I don't know how to post the link as a picture like you did...

Yes, that's the one I meant to post. It takes me some trial and error to figure out how to post pictures on Net54. Thank you for the help.

I'd started this thread but have neglected to post much recently due to too much work and traveling. I feel bad about that, but I hope to post more in the coming weeks. I'm glad folks like this thread and I'm always amazed at some of the pieces people share here from their collection! I always enjoy seeing and reading about your finds, Doug!

That's awesome! I know that tickets have a larger fanbase, but the detail of a scored scorecard along with the vision of someone sitting at the game marking it up (and the other random ads and content in the scorecard) are magical to me.

I completely agree 100%.

Ticket conversation - That's a cool ticket, what happened during that game?

I forget, let me check retrosheet.


Program conversation - That's a cool program, ______ looks like he had a _______ game that day!

Which one of these, from Sandy's third career save (of 9), is the most fun to look at?

[cubman1941]

Not a particularly a great one but I found it interesting.

[bigfanNY]

Just won this. 1952 Ted Williams day program. The outer program with the Picture on front and stats on the back with a "regular 1952 scorecard for the game inside. First time I came across one.
The Fenway faithful honored Ted and wished him well as he was leaving to again serve his country as a Marine Pilot. Surprised and happy to have won this.

Pretty neat find! I've seen one or two of these over the years but never opened one so I never knew there was a regular scorecard inside! Thanks for sharing!

Now that I have the item in hand I don't think it was issued with the scorecard. First the crease on the front doesn't seem to affect the scorecard inside. And second the scorecard is pasted inside the Blue cover but there is
a scorecard on Ebay without Blue cover that doesn't have any damage on the back page . Those two things Lead me to believe that the Blue cover was a fan giveaway and is seperate from the scorecard. Although the version on ebay is not scored and could be from a differant game in the same series.

Could be one of those things we'll never have a definitive answer on, but your evidence seems valid against it being issued with the scorecard!

Nice, Billy! Love the Bert Shepard. I met him about 30 years ago, very nice gentleman.

Saw that Ryan in an auction but I guess I hadn't realized it was from his first win! Excellent purchase!
