Description

Stadium Rain Check Detroit Tigers. Issued by the American League Baseball Club of Washington, D.C. for a game in June 1947 at historic Clark Griffith Stadium, this original Major League Baseball ticket stub measures approximately 3.25 by 1.25 inches (mounted on a 3.5-by-4.25-inch paper backing sheet) and features a yellow $1.25 Grand Stand rain check design printed with serial number 223737 and the facsimile signature of team president Clark C. Griffith. Attached to a period paper backing containing handwritten ink notes identifying the match as "Washington vs. Detroit at Washington" alongside attendee names, this cardstock piece serves as a fantastic mid-century artifact for collectors of Washington Senators, Detroit Tigers, and vintage ticket stub ephemera. The piece presents in overall good vintage condition, remaining firmly attached to its backing with fully legible ink handwriting, while displaying expected age-appropriate wear such as light edge wear, paper toning, and paper loss with fraying along the top left corner of the ticket stub.
