In 1927, The Yankees League with legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig won a record-breaking 110 games and finished with a whopping 19-game lead. Considered the greatest team in the history of baseball, if you were at the Series you witnessed the best there is according to superfans.
So much so that even if you have a ticket stub you can fetch over $40,000. Sports memorabilia is taken very seriously amongst collectors and this is a great example of why. The tickets will originally have cost around $1, so that’s a rather impressive return on investment.
It just goes to show that it isn’t always about the item itself, but what the item represents. In reality a ticket stub is just a flimsy piece of card, but the historical connotations can’t be underestimated. Any self-respecting sports collector would love to have this in their cabinet.
