Love that Candy Man Scott, congratulations! I'm thrilled to finally add one of these to my collection. It was a great way to end the most fun year I've ever had collecting.

I also recently received this 1939 Dodgers ticket for a game that was the first game a color fast yellow dye was used. MLB had a few games in 1938-39 that used a yellow baseball to see if it was safer for players to play with and easier for fans to see. In the first game a yellow ball was used the Dodgers pitcher Fitzsimmons had the yellow dye all over on his shirt where he wiped his hands.

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 Jim Wilson (April 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:
Scott:

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.

It's gone, and you are correct, his only HR in 117 post season at bats (including 28 Negro League in 1948).

Leon gave me permission to share this here. I have two Roberto Clemente 3000 hit stubs in my collection. Goldin Auctions will be auctioning off this one in their Feb 25th online auction. I will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the Roberto Clemente Museum in Pittsburgh. These seldom become available. Although it wasn’t my intention I was fortunate to have landed two in a single month. PSA has slabbed 27 of these to date. I wanted to share it with the Net54 community as I didn’t want any collector who might be looking for one of these to miss out on an opportunity to add one to his or her collection.

Great ticket. Its been quite a while since one of these came to auction, at least well before the run up in ticket prices. It will be interesting to see what this one goes for given the current ticket market.

Although not in the HOF. Elroy Face is considered to be The Godfather of the modern closer. I picked up this stub earlier this evening. Its Face’s 18th victory of his record setting 1959 season. It was also his 22nd consecutive win which is the second longest winning streak in MLB history behind Hubble’s 24. That season his 18-1 record set the still-standing major league record for winning percentage (.947). His 18 wins that year also set the single-season wins in relief record.

Very nice ticket Mike, Elroy was the all-time N.L career save leader from 1962 to 1982 when Bruce Sutter passed him, Elroy ended his career With the brand new Montreal Expos in 1969 with 193 career saves, here is the ticket to his last career save #193

June 25th 1988 ticket between the Orioles & Red Sox is iconic for a couple reasons...

One being it was the game 1,000 in Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive game streak.

The other being the day that the infamous photo of Bill Ripken was taken (which appeared in the Fleer set the next year):

Jeremy Giambi, what a tragedy. I met him in Phoenix during spring training he was funny, engaging, and living his best life, such a loss to his family and those that loved him.

Sept 29, 1962 Full Ticket, Warren Spahn defeats the Pirates. The win is the 327th of his career moving past Eddie Planks 326 win total making him the winningest left handed pitcher in baseball history. It’s a position he still holds with 363 career victories.

Very happy to add this historic homer stub, before it climbs higher in value. I vividly remember watching this game in disbelief.

Thanks Tom! I'm always inspired by the tickets you pick up.

Regarding the '88 WS Game 1 ticket, I can easily see this stub being one of the next ones to start getting up there in price, as more people appreciate the historic significance of Gibson's Home Run.

....and as Leo tells it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09BVTJD4STQ

If you want to see that show in it's entirety with Hank & Mickey:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abago5tYZdM


Giants came from 13-1/2 games back to tie it on the Final Day of the season, forcing a 3-game Playoff, in which the Giants won Game 1 and the Dodgers won Game 2.


......as Willie tells it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSiiGbHXyGM


Full Game Broadcast (different announcer):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el04GusE3Ts

....according to the announcer the entire '51 Yankees team were in attendance that day watching to see who their opponent would be in the World Series.


Another interesting tidbit:
"Aware of the infamous Fred Merkle blunder, Jackie Robinson was the only Dodger to remain on the field making sure Thompson touched all the bases."


Good Documentary on it and the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field, some great footage, look for the memorabilia, programs, banners, etc.:

Very nice, Paul. I have been looking at Mantle and Gehrig WS HR tickets, so found a few at reasonable price but most have ridiculous BIN.

Thanks Mike & Jamie....and yah got lucky, ticket was paper clipped inside of a program.

When I get a new ticket first thing I do is research the game, and it's crazy what you learn.

Like we all know this was the "Shot Heard 'Round the World", but I didn't know that was because our Servicemen stationed in Korea were listening to the game on the radio, as were those in other countries.

And that famous call by Russ Hodges was not the TV version. If you were watching the game on TV you heard Ernie Harwell's call of the game. If you were listening to the Dodgers radio call of it you were listening to Red Barber. And if you were listening to the Giants broadcast of it you heard that famous Russ Hodges call of it.

And that Giants radio broadcast was NOT being recorded and the famous call of it would have been lost in time if not for a Brooklyn guy who had to work that day and asked his mother to tape record it for him. So that was the only recorded call of it.

I also didn't know the lead up to it, the Giants being 13 back and then being 4-1/2 games back with 7 days to go, and the Giants had to win all 7 games, and had to beat Warren Spahn twice and Robin Roberts once in that final week, just to tie, and force the 3 game playoff. And being down 4-1 headed to the bottom of the 9th in the decisive game 3, season looking be over, to have come so close only to fall short........and then!

All of that (and more) explains how big that Home Run was.

And then hearing the entire '51 Yankees team (including the Mick) were in attendance that day at the Polo Grounds watching to see who their Series opponent would be. Hell, maybe I have Mantle's ticket here to the Shot Heard Round the World Game, it's a Box seat after all. Hey, I have a 1 in 34,000 chance that it was. : )

Ticket prices in Heritage were staggering. This segment of the hobby is certainly booming. Love the story & history within each stub. Really fun area to collect.

Here's a few recent pick ups...Jackie & Mantle Rookie Seasons...

Woot!

I can add to this thread now. I just picked up two tickets:

Frank Howards home run #33 against the Pirates and his first home run as a Senator #123 against the White Sox.

Unless I win the Lottery or get extremely lucky, I won't be getting his 9th home run ticket stub. Hank Aaron had to hit a home run in that game too and that ticket is a bit too far out of my range.

Cheers,

B. T.

Lots of nice tickets in this thread.

My current online auction ends tomorrow and I usually don't have much in tickets. However this one has a few including a 1959 World Series and a pair of signed 1988 Tom Browning Perfect game signed tickets.

www.brockelmanauctions.com

for those who might be interested. There are a few others as well.
