I have done some searching but cannot seem to find out much about the items below... Does anyone have an idea of value "if any" on these items? Or can anyone guide me to a site that may help?

Thanks

It's a nice little trove of material, but college memorabilia doesn't really sell for that much. I'd say a few hundred dollars for everything.

And we have a great memorabilia forum where this would be better suited (haven't checked, maybe it's there too).

Football legend Walter Camp was the Yale baseball coach in the years of your passes.

My apologies for posting in the wrong forum.... Also I should mention that these items are from a scrap book and are glued to the paper...


Thank you Barry for your insight!

I wonder if those season passes could be authenticated just like regular tickets? Nice odd "find" Shawn.

I would assume the the season tickets could be put into PSA holders.

Shawn-

The Yale Base Ball Freshman Association card you have...curious if you know was this a player or the parent of a player?

Hi Dave,

I believe this Association card belong to the actual student of which created the scrapbook. The signatures on the season passes are the same as the association card.
I also have other items such as photos of his dorm room that I did not include in the scans.

That Walter Camp was the coach will increase interest in the passes. This makes them of interest to both baseball and football collectors. Ironically, these baseball passes may be of more interest to football collectors.

Shawn- If you're interested in selling, you might check with the Yale Archives. I know that schools often buy memorabilia for their own collections.

Is all this stuff glued in the pages? Easily removeable?

Great suggestion on the Yale Archives idea! I probably will these items go.. I wonder how it is dealing with Universities in this context?

Thanks Seth

My guess is that these items will come off fairly easy... They seemed to be glued on just in one spot per item... The paper is brittle also...

I would assume your season tickets are rare, in that you don't seen many college season passes from back then. You'll find single game tickets, but not too many season passes. Plus, Yale was a big time athletic school back then, comparable to a USC or Michigan today. Before WWI, Yale won 17 National Championships in football.
