One of the coolest things I picked up on my vacation came as a complete surprise to me. During my dinner with Mr. Don McNair, I was allowed to look at his scrapbook that he put together about his dad's career. When I got to the portion that showed this rain check (which used to be attached to the actual ticket to the game, of course), he asked me if I was able to take it out of the album. I said 'I think so', removed it, and he said 'good, take it home with you.'
I'm still amazed at his generosity. This piece of a World Series ticket is 82 years old and is definitely a part of history. To have it in my possession is really awesome. I saw whole tickets to later World Series at the National Card Show going for several hundred dollars. This one is in rough shape and clearly isn't a whole ticket, but it it still amazing. I also like that the ticket has the signature of C. McGillicuddy at the bottom. Also known as Connie Mack.
That is definitely pretty awesome!
