My 1930 autographed ticket arrived today! It was originally encased in a PSA holder, which the previous owner included. They decided that it would present better in a SGC case. I have copied the ticket, PSA case and a copy of info on the Wichita Falls Spudders, who the Yankees played for your viewing. The Yankee players on the ticket are:
Babe Ruth
Lou Gehrig
Waite Hoyt
Tony Lazzeri
Herb Pennock
George Pipgras
Bennie Bengough
Roy Sherid (who was the losing pitcher that day)

Holy crapola:o that is freakin so cool. Congrats.

Thanks! I love that it has the extra autographs and the history with it. And I wanted paper rather than a ball, as the leather fades/cracks.

That's unreal. Even better that they signed right next to each other.

Very interesting item! I would also rather have this autographed ticket over a baseball as it tells a greater tale.

Incredible item with those signatures of course, but I love the fact that it captures an element of baseball history that is near forgotten; the barnstorming tours. It's almost hard to imagine the biggest names in baseball touring the country and playing exhibition games because to supplement their salaries, but such was life for Ruth and Gehrig back in the day.

Really an incredible piece on so many levels! Enjoy it!

Congrats on a fantastic piece! Keep that thing away from Mouschi's scissors.

That thing is great! Others have mentioned them, but Lazzeri and Pennock are tougher sigs than the big name guys (though not nearly as valuable, of course). With Hoyt, that's five HOF Yankees in total. Just a great piece, glad you are hanging on to it for your incredible Yankees collection. Thanks for showing it off.
