Description

Extremely difficult tickets from early Ivy League college football contests, pitting some of the country's top teams at that time against each other. The Ivy League was as close to being professional as the early game could boast, and it's turn of the century teams were the very best in the entire country.

Includes: 1) 1894 Princeton vs. Cornell (appears EX, but has back damage - extra paper from album page). 2) 1895 Princeton vs. Harvard (EX/MT). 3) 1899 Yale vs. Harvard (appears VG, but has paper loss on reverse, light tear near perforation). 4) 1898 Harvard vs. Yale (FR, back damage from album paper on reverse). 5) 1908 Harvard vs. Yale (GD/VG, looseness along perforation, but NOT detached - back scrapes). 6) 1909 Yale vs. West Point (GD/VG, looseness along perforation, but NOT detached - black mark on reverse). 7) 1911 Princeton vs. Yale - Blue (EX, looseness along perforation, but NOT detached). 8) 1911 Princeton vs. Yale - Green (NM, about as good as you can get).

Total of EIGHT early football tickets, all Ivy League contests.
