What is the value of a 1927 program from Yankee Stadium?

Answer 1

Condition, of course, is a key to the value of your program. Vintage programs in average condition can generally be found for under $100, but your program is somewhat special because 1923 was the first year the Yankees played in Yankee Stadium. As a point of reference, a 1923 Yankees/Giants World Series ticket stub in used but not abused condition books around $300. In a June 10 2005 Sotheby's Auction, a Yankee Stadium April 18th, 1923 Opening Day Program. sold for $14,400. This program is extremely rare. Do not confuse this with a 1923 Opening Day reproduction that came as an insert from a Yankee Yearbook. I'm not sure of the year but It would make sense that it was 1973 the 50th anniversary of Yankee Stadium. the Yearbook included a 32 page insert, and I believe the 1923 program was part of it. This insert would sell for less than $10. I have it stored away somewhere. If I come across the year I will up date this page.

A 1958 New York Yankees program/Scorecard is worth about $25.-$35.in excellent - near/mint condition. As with all collectibles, condition is the most important factor of all providing that the item is authentic. With programs/scorecards the slightest flaws will bring the price down significantly. An exceptional mint condition scorecard could sell for more.

Common flaws would be staining, foxing (yellowing), fading, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, and writing on the cover. Un-scored programs will generally sell at a higher price than a scored program but sometimes it doesn't effect value. The over all condition, and how well it displays will.

The value on a "scored" program as opposed to a un-scored program can vary depending on the game, and collectors preference. In general I would say an un-scored program will sell at a higher price. Some collectors do not mind scored programs, or might prefer it scored. A game in note that might sell at a higher price "scored" would be Don Larsens perfect game in the World Series.

Vintage Baseball tickets stubs for all teams from this era in general are worth about $20.-$25. 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 and will sell at a higher price. 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. Even a Home run hit by a noted player can add value.
