San Francisco Giants Baseball Vintage Sports Ticket Stubs
Vintage ticket stubs are the remnants of tickets that were used as admission to certain games. While tickets now have barcodes that just need scanning, tickets used to require a gate worker to tear off the top for admittance. Options can include everything from season openers to World Series ticket stubs.
What is included on vintage ticket stubs?The stub shows the date, time, and place of the game. The term "vintage" is a relatively generic term that can refer to any older item. For collectors, it generally means tickets that have been torn and thus used for entry to a game. However, many older tickets may be found in their original condition.
Are there ticket stubs for the Giants World Series?Since moving from New York to San Francisco in 1958, the Giants have appeared in nine World Series championships representing the National League, winning three. Ticket stubs will fluctuate based on the actions of collectors. You may find game 1, game 2, game 3, game 4, and more tickets from any of these series.
The Giants were World Series champions in the following years (these include the years the team spent in New York and San Francisco):
- 1905
- 1921
- 1922
- 1933
- 1954
- 2010

- 2014
The San Francisco Giants were World Series runners-up in the following years:

Any ticket that denotes a special game or season may be considered a collectible. For example, a ticket may be considered collectible if it was for a game in which a legendary player hit a home run. There are many tickets that represent home run games by Giants greats such as Barry Bonds and Willie Mays.
There have also been several legendary pitching performances in Giants history. A ticket stub for Tim Lincecum's first no-hitter on July 13, 2013, may be considered as a collectible. There have only been nine no-hitters in San Francisco Giants history. Ticket stubs from championship seasons may also be considered collectibles.
What type of artwork is on a vintage ticket?Older Giants tickets are mostly plain. These stubs may be simple white or brown paper with black print. Later on, the team began printing images on their tickets. While some stubs might be adorned with a baseball and the San Francisco Giants logo, others feature images of star players such as Madison Bumgarner, Buster Posey, or Hunter Pence.
