Sell Your 1894 National League American Association Baseball Pass

The American Association (AA) was a professional baseball league that existed for 10 seasons from 1882 to 1891. Together with the National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs (“National League” – N.L.), founded earlier in 1876, the new AA participated in an early version of the World Series seven times versus the champion of the NL in an interleague championship playoff tournament. At the end of its run, several AA franchises joined the NL. After 1891, the NL existed alone, with each season’s champions being awarded the prized Temple Cup (1894-1897).

1918 World Series Ticket Stub — With PSA/DNA Authentication

1918 World Series ticket stub featuring the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox. This ticket, dated 7 September, is for game three, won by the Red Sox over the Cubs, 2 to 1. Carl Mays was the winning pitcher. The Series was held early in September because World War I ended the regular season prematurely on September 1. Game four of this series was Babe Ruth’s final World Series appearance as a pitcher. Though there were concerns that the series was fixed, the real cheating problem didn’t erupt until the Black Sox Scandal of the 1919 series. Ticket from section N, seat 327 in Comiskey Park measures approximately 2” x 2.5”. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA. Sold for $1,720.
