 Lot 57. Extremely Rare 1927 World Series Pittsburgh Pirates Press Ticket. The Pirates issued this ticket to Edward T Murphy, apparently the New York “Sun” sportswriter and “Baseball Magazine” columnist. The ticket was punched twice for each of the two World Series games in Pittsburgh. The Pirates lost both as the New York Yankees swept them in four games. The 3” x 4” ticket has the name of Baseball Commissioner Judge Landis printed on. The ticket has two pin holes, several light surface creases, an impression the size of a pencil point on the front and a larger impression on the back. We don’t know of another press ticket from this World Series.
