A trivia-question post on the dark side of the board prompted me to dig out a ticket stub from Bob Feller's opening-day no-hitter. Because tickets and ticket stubs are among my favorite areas of collecting memorabilia, I'd love to see other stubs or full tickets from memorable sporting events. I'll scan and post a few more of my Indians ones later tonight. In the meantime, here's Rapid Robert's no-no:

New York Giants ticket stubs,,,
The Bobby Thomson game, the game before the Thomson game which the Dodgers won, a press pass for both those games and the last Giants game at the Polo Grounds.

Kind of a potpourri of Indians history: (clockwise from left) full ticket from Len Barker's perfect game, stub from Duane Kuiper's only major-league home run, stub from the first game in Cleveland Stadium, stub from the first night game in Cleveland Stadium.

A few of mine:

Lou Gehrig Appreciation day:

Wow david you must have a really nice collection. They had to pay 50 cents for war tax.

Wow! Imagine seeing that historic bare-knuckled bout for $15! Then again, taking inflation into consideration, one wonders what $15 1892 dollars would translate into in today's economy. Either way, certainly not the kind of money that ringside seats fetch nowadays.

Jodi,

$342.03 in 2007, according to this Web site, which seems pretty cool.

Hey, Jodi--according to the ticket, they were wearing gloves.

(Great ticket, BTW.)

Not really a milestone ticket...Connie brought his boys in to town to play against the "kids". Amongst the "kids" in that game were Bobby Shantz and Nellie Fox.

David is correct. This was the first Heavyweight Championship Fight that was fought with Gloves.

My bad, guys. Perhaps I should have read the ticket in its entirety ! I'm not as up on my boxing history as I should be, but Sullivan was the last bare-knucked champ from what I remember. Wasn't that bout also against Gentleman Jim?

Rob,

Cool! I'm really going to get a lot of use out of that site, as I ask myself similar questions quite a bit for some reason.

Great tickets everyone but who has a 1934 or 1937 MLB all star ticket stub? Will pay top dollar!!!!! Wolfie top dollar for your 35 full, name your price ?
There is a great article in this months SMR showing some of my tickets especially the only full 1933 MLB All Star Full Ticket, Enjoy the article, sorry photo bucket kicked my butt this morning couldn't download.

Joe,

Did you happen to be the high bidder on the 1954 All-Star Game full ticket this past week in Mastro? Any thoughts on the $3,000 hammer price?

Since you mentioned the 1935:

Yes I bid up to 1700, but saving my money for your 35? Did you check out the article and my 33.
