In 1927, the Yankees league, featuring legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, won a record 110 games and finished with a 19-game lead. Considered the best team in baseball history, if you were at the series you would have seen the best, according to super fans.
This is so true that if you have a ticket you can get more than US $ 40,000. Sports memory is taken very seriously among collectors and this is a great example of that. Tickets were originally going to cost around US$$1, which is an impressive return on investment.
This shows that it's not always about the item itself, but rather what the item represents. In truth, a ticket is just a flimsy piece of cardboard, but the historical connotations cannot be underestimated. Any sports collector worthy of the name would love to have this in their collection.
