Incredible collection of game programs with the vast majority featuring the teams of New York and Brooklyn during the 1940's. 6 of the programs are from Jackie Robinson's history changing first season. Several have one of more ticket stubs to the game attended. All have been scored. Programs range from P to VG with the majority having loose/detached covers and/or pages. Still, they are presentable and easy to read thru. The closer to 1950 you get the better the condition. Ticket stubs range from P to EX+ and have been either stapled/pinned(about 75%) or paper clipped(about 25%) with the program. A couple have stubs that do not match the game. A load of baseball history here and a real pleasure to look through.
