How much is a rain check from a 1917 Boston American League baseball game worth?

Milestone Ticket Stubs

Vintage baseball ticket stubs (Rain Check) for all teams from this era in general are worth about $150.-$350. Condition is important. Rips, crease, stains and fading could bring the price down significantly. With ticket stubs if the stub was not torn cleanly it will effect the price as will if the stub was stapled to a program (holes) which is a common practice.

Ticket stubs from baseball games that feature special events or player milestones are highly sought after by collectors. Special events such as opening day, inaugural games, last game at a Stadium, play-offs, World Series, etc. Player milestones can include 500 home runs, 300 win, or any record breaking event.

There is a large community of collectors that collect tickets stubs of baseball games when a noted player Wins a game (pitcher), or hits a Home Run. Record breaking Players such as Mantle, Mays Aaron, and now players like Alex Rodriguez who have a shot at hitting 500, 600 home runs or more. Tickets/stubs from these games are very desirable, and will bring top dollar if a collector needs this ticket to complete their set.

The 1917 Red Sox had a pitcher that won 24 games that year. Babe Ruth. He also hit two Home Runs that year giving him a total of nine career Home Runs. Any ticket stubs from a game when Ruth won a ball game or hit a home run will bring top dollar.

Try to find the box score of the game played on the date your ticket stub is from. Look for a player milestone for a noted player from both Boston and the visiting team. For more information on vintage baseball ticket stubs visit the link I left below
