This ticket
is from the
last World Series the Red Sox would win
for 86 years, until 2004, when the "The
Curse of the Bambino" was lifted. The
Babe did pitch, and win, in Games 1 &
4, and those ticket stubs sell at a
premium. Game 3 was played to a crowd
of 27,054, on Sept. 7, 1918 at
Comisky Park. The Red Sox won the
game 2-1, and took the World Series in
6 games (4-2) Condition is important.
The slightest flaws could bring the
price down significantly but World
Series tickets from this era are rare
and condition could be more forgiven.
Common flaws include; rips, creases,
stains, fading and staple holes. It was
a common practice for fans to staple a
ticket stub to the game scorecard for
safe keeping. Ticket stubs that are not
ripped cleanly will also sell for less.
A "Minty" ticket could sell for more.
