All about the World Series programs

World Series programs are the most sought after collections in sports memorabilia history. These programs typically sell for at least $1,000, and most have attracted large sums of money. These shows are no longer available and were officially dropped in 1974 when only one official show was released for the fall series. Shows are a rare commodity because every team used to put out one or two of their own every year.

In terms of monetary compensation, the classic World Series shows act as some of the best memories. The first 1903 World Series program was originally priced at 10 cents, but can fetch over $20,000 in mint condition. Recent auctions have seen World Series programs from the early 20th century sold for an average of $1,500 and $3,000 for programs aired by the New York Giants and Boston Red Sox, respectively. The White Sox show broadcast by Chicago in 1919 is famous for its pitching scandal that attracts more than a couple thousand dollars. These usually sell for between $200 and $800.

It should be noted that not all World Series programs sell for a higher price. The final price depends on the team, the history associated with the team in that particular year, and the year in question. Heritage auction galleries and Robert Edward auctions are the main places to buy and sell these masterpieces. Sports Collectors Digest is one of the few publications that finds more information on World Series memorabilia and the prices of such programs.

If you ever come across any of the rare pieces of paper, talk to one of the industry experts to get your money’s worth. Not all buyers visit Leland auctions; therefore, it is not a bad idea to contact a collectors store in your area. You can also contact one of the famous sports bars to advertise to an interested audience. Whatever the case, if you ever get your hands on one of these collectibles, know you’ve hit a memorabilia jackpot.
