Found this at a local estate auction today. Now if I could only find a program for this game. |

That is clearly an exhibition game. Is it possible that the Lincoln Athletics was a black team? |

Barry, the Lincoln Athletics were the Class A ball club for the Philadelphia A's. I collect Lincoln Athletics items and they are extremely difficult to come by - even though I live in Lincoln and am searching all the time you just don't come across it very often. |

Good score Dan. I have an exhibition ticket from Wichita playing the NY Giants from the 1950's. I think these were pretty common tune up games for the minors. |

Yep, common tuneups, but uncommon ticket stubs. Connie Mack owned all of the A's minor league teams and I'm sure he got good use out of them. |

Very rare tickets indeed. That's the only one I have and only a few from the regular season as well. Did Connie Mack own The Lincoln team or was this game played in Philadelphia? Connie's facsimle signature and picture really pep up that ticket. |

Mack owned the Lincoln team up to 1952. The Lincoln Team was then sold to the Milwaukee Braves and Lincoln's name was changed to the Chiefs. |

I think the Giants game was scheduled during an off day too. I haven't been able to find it yet. I did find my Wichita Braves tickets where they played Omaha. Do you collect Omaha items? I didn't see any on your site, but there is another Lincoln item on there I haven't seen before. |

Dan- if you like Nellie Fox I have a great childhood memory of him. In the late 1960's my friend and I went to Shea Stadium to see a Mets-Astros game, as he was a big Astros fan. Nellie Fox was their first base coach at the time. We had terrific seats in the front row behind first base. |

Clint, I haven't really gone out of my way to collect Omaha items - and they are much easier to obtain except for those darn N172's. Maybe someday I'll expand out that far...perhaps sooner than later as I just noticed Mastro has a 1969 Omaha Royals uniform up in their next Collector Classic auction. |

Dan, I just found the ticket stapled to a program. My memory must be getting worse as the exhibition game was between the NY Giants and the Cleveland Indians in Wichita, 1950. |
