July 2, 1941 DiMaggio stub

On July 2, 1941; Yankees home game No. 35, Joe DiMaggio extended his consecutive game hitting streak to 45 games, breaking Willie Keeler's long standing record of 44, set in 1897. Willie Keeler's record 45 consecutive game hitting streak started in his final game of the 1896 season, and continued through the first 44 games of the 1897 season. The day before, on July 1, a make up game was added to the scheduled home game no. 34, to create a double header. A reported 52,832 fans packed Yankee Stadium for the opportunity to watch history in the making, to see if DiMaggio would continue the streak, and tie Keeler's record.

The July 2, record breaking game, only drew 8,682 fans, making the Game No. 35 ticket stub scarcer than the rarely seen game No. 34 stub, and more valuable. The game No. 35 ticket also ties Keeler's record 45 consecutive game hitting streak that he accomplished over two seasons. Value is based on past auctions and sales. There is only a small sample of sales history, which estimates the value of the game No. 34 ticket at about $1,000. There is no sales data available at this time, for the July 2, 1941, game No. 35 ticket stub.

Given that the game No. 35 ticket is a record breaker, and far more scarce than game No. 34 stub, I have estimated the value at $1,000.-$1,500. in excellent - near mint condition, but would most likely sell at a higher value. Grandstand, and Bleacher ticket stubs historically sell at a lower value because these tickets were printed without the date. A recent and extensive study on these undated ticket stubs, should help gain collectors trust, and this trend should end. The Grandstand and Bleacher ticket stubs can now be accurately dated.

The 1941 Yankees Grandstand ticket stubs have the Signature of Yankees team President, Edward G. Barrow at the bottom, have an admission price of $1.10, and can be identified by the Series letter "J" below the red serial number. The same goes for the 1941 Bleacher stub, but with a .55 cents admission price.
