Collection of thirty-six Brooklyn Dodgers regular-season ticket stubs and four Brooklyn Dodgers passes spanning the years 1948 to 1952, including four duplicate ticket stubs. Twenty-two of the ticket stubs are not dated, but we strongly believe eleven of those date to the 1949 season, and seven date to the 1951 season.

Dated or "Opening Day" ticket stubs: 

1948: May 31 (two examples; first game of an AM/PM doubleheader; stamped "AM"), May 31 (second game of an AM/PM doubleheader, stamped "PM"), and July 7 (stamped "N" for night game).

1949: April 19 (two examples; not dated but stamped "Opening Day 1949).

1950: June 28, July 30, and August 18 (stamped "N" for night game).

1951: June 10, July 1, July 18, and September 7. 

1952: April 18 (not dated, but stamped "Opening Day 1952). 

The eleven undated tickets we believe were issued for the 1949 season bear the following game numbers: 1, 3, 7, 8 (three examples), 17, 36, 45, 52, and "L" (for "Ladies Grandstand"). The eight tickets we believe were issued for the 1951 season bear the following game numbers: 1, 4, 8, 11, 13, 14, 32, and 42. The four passes (4x2.5")  are for the years 1948 (two examples; one is for the Press Club and was never issued, the other is a general pass issued to "George Geller"), 1952 (Employee pass issued to "George Geller") and an undated pass (Working Press issued to radio announcer Jack Barry). The tickets vary in size, but are approximately 3x1.5 inches on average. Condition ranges from Fair to Excellent, averaging Good/Very Good.
