The 1964 Philadelphia Phillies played 162 games during the regular season, won 92 games, lost 70 games, and finished in a tie for second with the Cincinnati Reds one game behind the St. Louis Cardinals.
With only 12 games left in the regular season the Phillies led the National League by 6 games. The National League Pennant came down to the last two days of the season with four teams with a mathematical shot at first place. The three teams mentioned above and the SF Giants..
The last game of the season the Philies beat the Reds, and both teams are a 1/2 game back of the Cardinals. If the Cardinals lose, there would be a three way tie for first place forcing a play-off. But the Cardinals beat the Mets and clinch the National league pennant, and go on to beat the Yankees in the World Series.
Because of the possibility of the Phillies making it to the World Series, tickets are printed up in advance to be ready for the fans. But they did not make it, and these ticket are called Phantom Tickets. Phantom Tickets are tickets, that are printed up in anticipation of a team making the playoffs, or World Series But not used when the team failed to make it. They have a low collectors value, and normally sell at a "Novelty price" The 1964 Philadelphia Phillies Phantom World Series tickets are worth about $5.-$10 each and about $15.-$25. in un cut sheets of four. I will leave a link below for more information on Phantom Tickets.
