Red Grange Last Game Ticket Stub

by

Red Grange took the field for the last time on January 27, 1935, in an exhibition game at Gilmore Field in Los Angeles, a rematch of the NFL Championship game. Here’s a ticket stub from the game.

Mastro sold this example in July 1998, but I found another one offered by SCP Auctions in January 2008.

This graded example sold for $175 before the recent focus on tickets in the hobby and the run-up in their prices.

1901 Philadelphia Athletics Inaugural Season Tickets

by

With the Athletics moving again, I thought it was a great time to share this strip of four regular-season game tickets from the Philadelphia Athletics’ inaugural season in 1901.

This strip was offered for sale in April 2000 by Ron Oser Enterprises.

Now, 1901 wasn’t just the first season for the Athletics; it was the first for the entire American League, too!
